I was at a standup set and the guy had a bit about how he couldn’t care less about someone’s sexual orientation, race, etc etc and hated people only if they were extra. And proceeded to imitate his gf’s gay best friend who sounded like Chris Tucker from the fifth element.
and I couldn’t agree more, extra people are the worst.
When you think about it, extra cis heteros are pretty much just as ridiculous. So I hear that.
But what's the deal with women who need their token gay male friend though? Reminds me of
Derry Girls when they were fighting over someone because it would be cool if they had a token Protestant friend.
Watch this, as another case of too extra people are the worst
I know plenty of regular joe gay dudes, and whenever we joked on this topic, they say its not simply about just being more feminine because that's part of it sometimes. But that someone like this simply craves attention at all times and his sexuality is just another way to attract maximum attention.
That was actually entertaining. Rare I say that watching someones yootoob reco.
And damn, I lived in SF for nearly 30 years and there is gay slang in there (versatile? gold star?) that I had never heard of before.
But you're right about attention potentially being a big part of it. A few years ago I remember a lot of articles among SF's gay community about becoming "normies" ... how being gay and acceptance of gay marriage meant they were no longer special and thus were now mainstream and corporate. Wanting their cake and eating it too: "I want to be accepted, but I want to feel special!"
That's a major problem with confrontational activism. Some get so addicted to the provocation that they lose sight of why they're even in it in the first place.
