Hard gay!

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!

You've been in a relationship with a man before, right? What was that like? Was it so awful you went for Japanese women for the rest of your life?

I wonder if you would dig Patrick Wolf. Supposedly you guys are the same genre of music. Huh.

Boys who fit yesterday's criteria:

They're all arty, intelligent and hot.

I like the scruffiness in the "candid," tbh.

How about this fellow (http://my.opera.com/pandashavingtorture/albums/show.dml?id=153584)? He even has a vote on his blog (http://my.opera.com/pandashavingtorture/blog/) for whether or not you wish him to post nude photos of himself. So, if you want him to get out his wedding-tackle, get voting!

You have excellent taste in men, my dear.

And you said yay, as well, heehee! I love you.

Great list you have there. But I have to ask, did Toog wet himself?
Or were the pants just made to look that way?

Implying that someone else is somehow underlyingly gay is just like someone implying that a man should somehow be expected to be underlyingly straight.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood, I don't mean to be confrontational!

His taste would be even better if Cillian Murphy were included up there!
But he isn't, proving once and for all that Momus couldn't possibly have any gay about him. AHahah.

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

Jason's label has possibly even less money than my own!

Well yes but on the other hand he did use to be a T-Rex fan so I´m sure there is some gay in there, he´s just hiding it.

Hahaha, if I were a straight man I´d go gay anyway. But I am also a pansexual girl although I am now sadly IN MY TWENTIES. How tragic.

You know how gay men lust after the straight guy then when they have him ..well he just ain't straight anymore?
I'm a straight male and I want my women to be dykes.
Which probably means I am Eddie Izzard.
