So, you might thinks that am always whinge all the time eh! Honestly speaking not always, only sometimes, you know sometimes when thing when wrong. Plus the fact is, it's my birthday week, sometimes, my mood changed just like Melbourne weather, which could be four bloody season a day.....
It's Saturday night and I can’t help but get excited over the possible encounters and good times ahead – and by my six glasses of wine, those optimistic plan of an early night seem very far way indeed. After all, It’s my Birthday week, and am still feeling young and healthy and the world is waiting! (By this stage, my friends are urging me to drink more water instead of another glass of wine, however I will not be deterred!) Besides, don’t we all work hard enough during the week to deserve one night of the week on which our only concern is what drinks to order next?
Having spent significantly more time with my gay friends lately, I can’t help but be fascinated by the complexity of their sex, dating and relationship lives. Some are looking for great love, all are looking for great sex and, while discussing the latest ups and downs of our lives, I had to pose the question – “What exactly do boys wants?”
On this particular evening I wanted sex, correction, great sex! However, my hedonistic ambitions were somewhat restricted by an influence we are all too well aware of – Gay attitude. That’s right people- I am as shocked as you are by the realization that there are some bitchy gay people out there.
The first sign that the night was taking a sour turn was probably when two guys I thought were checking me out were actually attempting to steal my mobile phone. This was followed by aggressive and uninvited fashion advice from this creature in a tracksuit, and evil stares from an intimidating group of young gay guys once I did find my guy for the night.
Traditionally, the term ’gay’ was used to represent happiness adopted by the gay movement as a symbol of pride and defiance. However, in a rapidly materializing, scene, is the term “pretentious” becoming more appropriate to represent a large portion of gay youth, a culture of bitchiness having slowly evolved over time? The answer to this question is endless.
Maybe pretentiousness and bitchiness are not sold separately to liberation and self-expression, cornerstones of the movement, gay life and culture. However, it would be unwise to use the insecurities of some to describe a whole community. And on closer inspection, some degree of these superficial elements may be evident in all of us.
I say – It’s my Birthday, let’s get some fun, brotherly instead of bitchy, generous and gay in its pure sense – just happy….. (and I am not drunk!)
