The fact that gay men are the most beautiful in the world has been proven through numerous studies: the most recent was conducted by Oxford University and the sample size was large enough to be definitive not just in America but throughout the world. In addition, it might interest some of you to know that other research has uncovered that gay men are also the best tippers, the most fastidious in their housekeeping chores, the best groomed, the most hygenic, and possess the most attractive hair styles.
Less reliable -- but still fairly sound -- data have been put forward in a number of academic journals which show that all gay men hiss, shreik, call each other Mary, know all the lyrics Sondheim has ever written, lust after little boys, wear tight pants, have an unnatural affinity for their mother while reject any ties to their fathers, can't play any team sport but devote above average time to weightlifting.
Most significantly, the "research" which shows that gay men and women enjoy higher than median household wealth (or are in fact rich) and therefore do not require any sort of legal protections has been used by conservatives to fight against the Employment Non-discrimination Act, Hate Crimes legislation and all other civil rights protections for gay men and lesbians.
So, keep those stereotypes and banalities coming. They're not just condescending (under the guise of flattery), they're injurious. Doubt it? Let's review one of the most pernicious examples of this: black men have larger penises than white men. This one has been used to further the stereotype that black men are sexual predators in a societal context -- and on a personal level, it leads to feelings of inadequacy in black men who are of average size.
I think it's time to grow up, folks.
Stop worrying about what I'm doing -- focus instead on what you're eating.
