Okay, this will be bugging me for like, a long time, and if I don't write it out now, I probably won't finish my homework.

Faking Gay Onstage? Discussion Against "StageGay"First and foremost, I am in disagreement. I am enraged that they would compare it to blackface, because in no way do these bands mean it as a stereotypical and negative image - ( Read more... )

Eh... I kind of have a different perspective on the StageGay thing. And I don't really like the black-face comparison but I couldn't tell you why. It's like there's some hidden knowledge about it in my mind that I can't access but is still like no. I'll have to get back to you on that.

*rolls eyes at Pete obsession* Okay hun... Lol

Don't be afraid to call. I'm actually kind of homesick so I would happy to hear from you or your sis. XD

Um, I don't like the blackface comparison either. It's fucking blackface, man. There is a difference between kissing/groping your band buddy on stage to make it more accessible to a group of your fans and putting paint on your face to mock a race of people. :| Uh, I hope that wasn't extremely bitchy sounding? \o/ Either way, I'm happy with the gay.

D: I don't like Pete, I like Gerard. Gerard is a wee little comic artist/singer. :3

I will today~ I've missed talking with you.

Lol Yeah, I meant that I had a different perspective than the article. For some reason I had read it that you agreed with them. XD I need to pay attention, lol. And I agree with you. Blackface comparison was horrible and made me cringe. The kissing/groping band buddies almost seems to be embracing being gay and making it more acceptable. I'm going to ask my one roommate about it because she's gay and I wonder what she'll think about it.

Question: Is being gay/bi a choice or something chemical? Or mixture of both? Your opinion. XD

Oh yeah, your new pet is named Gerard. Did you ever post pictures?

I've missed talking to you too. I've missed talking to people in general. DX I'll be home the last weekend of September though! XD

Okay. xD Our communication skills are like, seriously lacking. And I always thought that was what the bands are doing - and times, it is just a sign of affection. (I can distinctly remember in The Who video The Kids Are Alright, Pete kissed Roger on the mouth. Which was like, in the seventies. \o/) Plus, it's super hot.

Hmm. I think that it can be both? I mean, I think you can be open to any form of relationship, but you are primarily straight. But then some people just like boys and girls, or just boys and just girls. So I think you can choose to be open, but attraction is chemical.

No, not yet. xD But I will tonight. Maybe.

D: I knooow~ You need to get online sometime so we can chat.
