The New Gay

No, this rant does not refer to 'Metros'; however, such a label somewhat relates to the topic at hand. To all those men out there who love other men, physically as well as emotionally, I ask you this, 'Why is there no politically correct term for being male gay'? I mean there exists the Gay & Lesbian parade, but if I were to say 'There goes a lesbian' people would know I'm referring to a woman. Conversely, if I were to say, 'That person is gay' I'm not specifying a gender. Now I realize I could say more crude things to give people a clearer idea of the gender, but I prefer not being bitch-slapped, by either sex. Besides, thats not the point of this rant, since for every slanderous male term there is an equally slanderous female term.

I believe its time the 'flamboyant ones' stand tall a declare a word to distinctify their sexual preference. The women-gays can say, 'I am a lesbian', whereas the men-gays can't finish the sentence, 'I am a ___' without the word 'man' to qualify the used term, whether they say gay or homosexual.

Now those men that like the ladies, yet enjoy the lifestyles of women, i.e. spa treatments and tight clothing, have already taken the term Metros. So you see its not that hard to come up with such a label.

One day instead of seeing the Gay & Lesbian Parades/Days/Festivals/Carnivales, maybe we'll see a Masculord & Lesbian Parade/Day/Festival/Carnivale all under the universal banner of gay pride. I realize Masculord is lame, but I'm sure a more flamboyantly appeasing name can be thought up by someone who actually partakes in homo-activities. Masculord may actually be too strong a name considering a lot of gay men tend to act quite femininely.

The other alternative is to make a stronger push to make gay more male specific, like was done back in the day. You know how the definition stopped meaning 'To be happy' and became 'Man-on-man lovin'. Side note here: does anyone think the accepted definition change had anything to do with the cancelation of the Flintstones? Maybe, just maybe, the conservative parents no longer wanted their children to have a gay old time with a bunch of cavemen. Umm I guess that wasn't as much of a sidenote as it was an endnote since I ran out of stuff to say. So to all those Masculords out there, I say, unite, flamboy and take a name that those thieving lesbians can't mooch off of.
