Not sure what these two are cuddling about, but the one on the left is cute. The right is sporting a Franz Josef.

Stop Gay Racism & Internalised Homophobia: The iGays Are Way Too Sick: TURN OFF THE LIFE SUPPORT!
Stop Gay Racism & Internalised Homophobia: The iGays Are Way Too Sick: TURN OFF THE LIFE SUPPORT!
Sadly a lot of truth here…so many entitlement issues and assimilation in the gay scene – I suspect a lot of the gay marriage stuff is coming from that standpoint too, as queer who doesn’t fit bodily or my relationships I expect my lifestyle will be thrown to the dogs when those queers get their Great Dark Man and 2.4 kittens. And that’s the problem – Quentin Crisp’s Great Dark Man is a fantasy, doesn’t exist. Too many people trying to conform to a stereotype or large set of ideals which leads to unhappiness – a lot of the other profile sites are full of ‘wants’ and ticklist of what they physically want in a partner…I doubt they’d ever find it.
People aren’t like that, they’re not Adonises, and if they are then they probably go to the gym too much and have no life/personality.
Disagree with the versatile/bottom comments – yes a lot of men want to be fucked by a Great Dark Man in the gay scene…but if you lose or alter the performance hangup you can be a different sort of sexual partner, free your mind, lose the porn face & dialog and sex work ethic and explore…strict roles are for porn or SM. And you can be truly versatile – but not if you have a weird idea of ubermensch Super Top with an attitude problem…that won’t work. Rarely does anyway, those people are usually full of shit ot flaky. Or actually bottoms in disguise.

Nope no gay subtext here. Nope. None…
(Waaaaaaaaalt Whiiiitmaaaaan & Peter Doyle, who sadly didn’t get a My Robot Friend song about him. Must be mad).

I know it’s easy to read in a gay subtext into those Victorian ‘bromance’ pictures but this one takes the cake – they can’t be just ‘friends’?!?

“friends”
They’re….brothers right?*
* I get that one a lot, although my partner is 27 years older than me.
