I really liked the way six feet under does a great job of showing that yes these two guys are different cause they are gay. and yet they still made sure the sexuality didnt define who they were. Cause even though they have a different sexuality i was able to see personality traits that i can relate to and connected with. after 5 seasons of the show i cared about them as much as much as any straight couple on the show.
so i really think that has helped the gay male image i have, really thats all i got to go on right now.
Brokeback mountain was a great movie. and a good example of a media gay reality check.
but i cant help but notice now that every single romance comedy includes the lead female role to having an uber flamboyant gay best friend who usually works in the fashion industry.
And i also get a sense from my sister and gf that they almost enjoy gay people for the novelty of it and not as much for the people who they are past the sexuality. i get a sense of "oh my god i have to become friends with the gay guy"
it just seems like society is at a weird transition about all of this. yeah its great that people are starting to accept the evolutionary shift of human nature. But as good as that change is to the way it was before i cant think your happy having all this fan-girls surrounding befriending you for the novelty of it instead of for who you are as a person.
