Just like Hard Gay -- Japanese comedian Masaki Sumitani -- I am not actually hard gay. But I can certainly see the beauty and appeal of men. So, following yesterday's entry on pretty girls, I thought I'd make one today about the kind of men I'd be into if I were into men. I'll have to rush this, because I'm due to have lunch in an hour with two men, Jason Forrest (Mr Donna Summer, Mr Cock Rock Disco himself!) and Craig Robinson (Mr Flip Flop Flying).Actually, I was planning to write something about the strange way people attribute gayness these days. I was amazed by how many of the comments I got on my Wired piece last week about Apple -- on the site and in private emails -- used homo imagery: I just wanted to suck Jobs' dick, I was standing up for gays and not our troops in Iraq, I should pull myself together and act more manly etc etc. Apple itself was seen as a "gay" company.
Anyway, here's a list of men I'd dig if I, you know, dug men. Clearly, historically, David Bowie has to be in there somewhere. But close behind, so to speak, would be people like Boredom Eye Yamataka, Toog, olamm, Marxy (he looked great last time I saw him in the flesh, but recent photos on Jean Snow's site show him, apparently, aging fast, bitch bitch!), Shawn from Lullatone, dancer Boris Charmatz, artist Sean Talley... I could go on...

Shit, I'm late for my date with the boys, but if you want any more on this subject you can sing it yourself in the comments, or re-read my piece about the homosocial. Hard gay forever, yay!

I'd go gay for Momus...If I were a straight main. But I'm a pansexual teenage girl. So yeah. What a wondrously unnecessary analogy! XD

From:28 to 94
Date: 2007-01-22 08:53 pm (UTC)i. Girls are more beautiful than boys.
ii. More straight boys and lesbians read Click Opera than straight girls and gaylords.
iii. Straight girls and gaylords log on after my bedtime.
I could go on, but George Perec bores my ears off. I'd go for i. anyway. I haven't seen a straight girl after my bedtime for 3 fucking years.

Date: 2007-01-23 12:27 am (UTC)great post. i'm a fag stag, too: a straight male, and militant supporter of gay rights. momus, next, you need a post about the women you'd like if you were a lesbian. er, but, i guess we're already lesbians because we like females? ...getting happily confused here, sorry...
