Top 10 Gay Stereotypes That Just Need To Stop
These gay stereotypes are way past overdue for being nixed from our brains.
10. Using the word 'fag'
Using the word 'fag.' It's not appropriate because you have a gay friend--like that’s a reason to do anything. Ever. Just stop. Seriously. If you have a gay friend, you can buy your gay friend a Christmas present. You can take your gay friend out for lunch. You can introduce him to people. But you can’t call him fag. You don’t get the pass to do that just because you know somebody gay, so you better stop using that word before I kick you in the shins.

9. What’s with all the snapping.
The three snaps in a row is dead. Long live the ‘bitch, please.’

8. The phrase “Girlfriend”
Oh, wow. It’s not the nineties anymore. You can call somebody your girlfriend in conversation. You cannot sassily use a tone while saying girlfriend unless you want to be stuck in the now defunct UPN network for all eternity. Nobody says girlfriend any longer.

7. The burning in eternal hellfire
This getting a little old, don’t you think? If there IS a hell, I’d doubt one goes there just because they made out with some hottie at Splash NYC. It just doesn’t seem reasonable when there are so many people who chop off people’s fingers, hurt dogs, or manipulate currency markets. Plus, where would Satan keep all of those college girls who “experimented?” It just seems kind of silly at this point. If there is a heaven, it would be me and my gay guy friends sitting in an air conditioned apartment sipping margaritas. Case closed.

6. The Broadway thing
Yeah, who didn’t see Rent on Broadway when they were in High School. However, lots of gay guys have no idea what Wicked is, unless if it’s describing a Bostonian’s way of saying something is cool. Lots of straight guys like watching Broadway, too. It’s just a crazy world of people walking down the street and breaking out into song.

5. The promiscuous sex
Oh come on. We’re mammals and we all like having sex from time to time. Gay men are no exception. They also like finding someone to settle down with (we’re looking at your statements, “matchmaker” Patti Stanger). It’s not just a big gay orgy happening 24/7--give us a great gay couple on TV, please.

4. All gays love Lady Gaga
There are lots of gay Little Monsters, after all, but haven’t you ever heard of a gay guy who thinks Britney Spears is this sovereign? Or Rihanna? Hell, there are gay dudes who don’t even LIKE dance music. They get their groove on to Vampire Weekend, Coldplay, or whatever. Mix up your dance mix a bit, why don’t you? Put on some damn Ke$ha and Minaj, for goodness sakes!

3. The Lisp
A lisp is a speech impediment. It doesn’t have any impact on your sexuality--just like stutters or limps don’t make you gay or straight, neither do lisps.

2. Gays hate sports
Oh, please- my GBF went to the finals in his touch football league, can turn anybody into a Jets fan, and is a faster runner than any straight man I know.

1. Enough with the feather boas and black turtlenecks
We get it, comedy sketches and sitcoms- gay people have a 'flair for fashion.' But why is it always the most ridiculous clothing when it’s a gay character? Haven’t you seen urban gays lately--they’re all about beautiful blazers, Gucci loafers, and fantastic patterns. Lose the billowing scarves, sleeveless t-shirts, and mesh tank tops. Stop making gay men look like how I used to dress my Ken dolls (I had one Ken doll who only wore a boa and an ascot).
