It’s
a sad fact that some gay people buy into – even cling to –
the very stereotypes they often complain
about.
Some
stereotypes were made to be shattered
REGULAR
GUYS is
a group for guys who like being guys.
Guys to whom masculinity isn’t a fetish, or a joke, but a part
of who we are and how we see ourselves. Our monthly meetings and events
provide an atmosphere of friendship and promote male bonding. We’re
trying to break down a few stereotypes... and we’re having a
lot of fun doing it
This
is NOT about putting anyone down. We’re
not saying masculine
guys are better – but we are different. Our point is that
there’s more than one way to be gay. Which ought to be a given
in a community that talks about diversity as much as ours does. It’s
a sad fact that some gay people buy into – even cling to –
the very stereotypes they often complain about. We think it’s
important to question both the way gay culture relies on stereotypes
to define itself, and the paradoxes that can result. Having a sense
of humor about it helps, too. Learning to criticize our own culture,
listening to other points of view, and providing more (not fewer)
choices, are the hallmarks of a mature community.
