21 Things That I Hate About Gay Culture

I have always viewed the world with rosy colored glasses and when I removed them, I realized that we live in a cynical world. A world that ostensibly seems to be inviting and accepting but in reality is judging and unforgiving. The ones who survive in this harsh world have survival tools that include: thick skin, fake laughter, fake smiles, fake tans, are masters at pretending to be someone different and of course like to label everyone they meet.

I belong to the Gay minority. Gays represent around 8% of the total world population. While I am proud of being Gay, that is not the end of my story. There are so many things in the gay world that I hate.

1. Maintenance and upkeep  Spending a substantial portion of your earning on gym, spa, waxing, skin care products and clothes seems like a norm. Trust me, gay men like to judge others based on appearance which is totally superficial.

2. Dating is equivalent to sex  When you agree to go for a cuppa coffee or lunch with someone, it means “Hallelujah! I am gonna get lucky tonight!” to most gay men. Most gay men behave like dogs in heat and are sex starved. I have dated men who just wanted a good f*ck, they did not even pretend to get to know me or have a polite conversation.

3. It’s a small world  This truly holds true for  the gay world.  New York City has been my home base for over a decade, even though I travel all over US for work. I have dated several men in NY and on several occasions, the men I met were the ex’s of my own ex’s. Imagine my horror and shock!

4. Casual sex  We all go through “Whore Phase” but dropping your pants at any possible prospect is definitely not my cuppa tea. Let’s not forget that gays love to live on the edge and like barebacking. Me and Barebacking? HELL NO!

5. Mirror, Mirror on the wall  Gay men never leave an opportunity to check their reflection, be it in their spoons, the sunshades, mirrors in their bags or any other place where they can check their reflection. Seriously, vanity is thy name, GAY!

6. Apps Galore  Technology has made our life simpler, but I beg to differ. Gaydar, Grindr and similar apps, take away your privacy. I have been out on a first date with a few men whose phones kept vibrating and I realized that their Grindr apps were active and so were these men!

7. Websites  What is wrong with most Gay men? Match.com has become the new craigslist and Linkedin has become the new match.com. People send me invites on professional network, Linkedin, so that they can exchange phone numbers, pictures and finally hook-up. WT* is wrong with gay world? I have been asked out on Linkedin, GROSS! I have pointed out to several men that dude, this is not manhunt account.

8. Subgenres in Gay world  I am getting tired of labels and let me tell you that different subgenres of LGBT hate each other. The straight acting gays don’t get along with fem gays and queens. Muscle queens hate drag queens, etc. I am sure you get the picture.

9. Fashion and fads  You would think that coming out of closet was an end to oppression, you ain’t got any idea about life after coming out of closet. There is a whole new level of oppression after coming out. Maintaining a toned body (I gained 10 lbs and am hence deemed a misfit in the gay world), going for BOTOX treatment in 20’s, keeping up with the trends, reading fashion magazines, bar hopping and knowing your drinks ( I have never done any of these things and I am considered a freak in the gay world), keeping up with new music and driving an expensive car, whether one can afford or not.

10. Promiscuity  Whatever happened to fidelity, monogamy and loyalty in a relationship. You will catch your boyfriend cheating on you within 3 months of being together.

11. Monogamy  The moment you tell your date that you are looking for a monogamous relationship and are willing to settle down with the right guy, he is terrorised. He runs away from you as fast as he can. Most guys don’t like being in monogamous relationships as they never stop believing that there is someone better than their current boyfriend.

12. Exaggeration When a gay guy works at cash register at Target, he would say I work in retail. You refer to your last trick or last sexual escapade as “my ex.” Dick size of 5.5′ naturally becomes 7′.

13. Older gay men  Older gay gentleman don’t acknowledge their age, in fact, all gay men lie about their age. Older gays still think that they can hook up or find a younger gay man for relationship. They think of themselves as mentors but end up becoming sugar daddies.

14. Haters  Being gay is all about being thick skinned as there are haters outside and within the gay community. It’s hard to deal with homophobes and some homosexuals have internalized homophobia, that is really hard to deal with.

15. Gaycation and cruises  Some gay men continue to party well beyond their 40’s and 50’s. They never grow up. Okay, I have been asked out by a 72 year old man who wanted to take me on a cruise (I was 29 at that time), while I just met him at a friend’s party. I didn’t know how to react as I was shocked and amused. I politely refused his offer and I still laugh at this incident.

16. Rude gay men  Most gay men whom I have met are plain rude. They seem to lack courtesy and have a very standoffish attitude. Its hard to have gay friends as all of them seem to be competing with one another.

17. Cute guys are in demand  The average gay guy is normal looking but crazy for cute and hot gay guys. Gays don’t react and respond to average looking gay men. Looks and appearance are on the top of priority list. It seems so shallow.

18. Lies  Being versatile essentially means that you can bottom in 10 different positions.

19. Not many tops  Biggest challenge in gay world is scarcity of tops.

20. Alcohol, smoking and substance abuse  It seems so common in the gay world that I can’t stand it. I am a non-smoker and don’t drink and have never done drugs.

21. Drama  Gay life is full of drama, heartaches, ex issues, sexual abuse, substance abuse and cheating and seriously, I am just not comfortable with so much sh*t.

I am tired of being judged and being physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy is important but I don’t want to look like a disaster of plastic surgery and feel like Sh*t. HELL NO!
