- Yeah, I guess so, well count me as one. Bis are way neato, but every
- time I hear somebody call themselves a straight acting queer, I want
- to puke, because it really comes across as "Oh gross, I wouldn't ever
- act like a girl, that's disgusting." Or as R&P say "How straight can
- you be, when you're down on your knees?"
-
- People can act however the hell they want, but its insulting to queers
- and women and just plain stupid, to celebrate stereotypical masculine
- behavior as "straight acting", like your average male queer can't be
- masculine, only straight men can, so if you act masculine, you must
- be "straight acting". puke. and puke too to those straight acting fags
- who can't cope with a little non-butch behavior from their fellow
- gay men, and can't get how much they insult themselves and all of us
- with the term "straight-acting".
