My little queer rant

There's a very good point in here.
Something to think about i guess, but why do gay men feel attracted to straight guys like that? Maybe it is wanting what we're never going to be able to have. I mean it might be compared to the straight man's fantasy of pulling a lesbian, who knows.

I guess all gay guys are guilty of it, but should we be?
Ragan Fox had something about this in one of his podcasts last week, it made me think, but i didn't dwell on it until i found that article from Scott-o-Rama. Ragan basically said that a gay guy shouldn't actively go out and date only 'straight-acting' gay men because it actively promotes the idea of the femme/queer gay guy as a second class citizen. Regan said that people should 'own their gayness' which is something i completely agree with, a gay guy shouldn't feel pressurised into trying to live up to this wholly unrealistic image of the 100% straight gay man.

Is this attraction to straight guys healthy for the self-esteem and confidence of the gay community? Is it simply another way for us to point out our own flaws? Another way for us to highlight ourselves as a minority group, as an under-represented group. We obviously don't need to aspire to some straight fantasy, so why can't we just let go of the fantasy 'straight acting' boy-friend and go out and grab ourselves a queer!

I'm rambling now, so ignore me, just read the article and think about it.
