Is it just me or are flamboyant young gay kids 100 times more flamboyant than in the olden days? Some of these kids had me lol'ing pretty hard. I'm gay myself, no hate here at all, it was just pretty over the top, especially the Asian kid.
shareThey're hilarious and I love it! Reminds me of my friends from design school days. I am glad that we live in a world where so many kids feel confident to be who they are -- I know it's not perfect yet but I am happy that we are moving in the right direction towards love and acceptance for all.
shareOne thing was a little disturbing though. That kid Matt who seems very flirty with everyone was really flirting with Tim. Tim's face got bright red and he seemed like it was affecting him. I would not want to see what sort of images were running through his mind. Not really appropriate for the Lifetime channel.
shareYes they are super flamboyant- to the point of doubt. I worry that this is the new standard of gay. It is as if, if you aren't flame retardant you aren't really gay. I remember having a huge crush on a boy when I was in high school who I had no idea was gay. He never bought into the flaming gay personae, even now as an adult he is interested in guns and motorcycles and has never dressed in women's clothing or manscaped. It seems sad to me that kids today are seeing being gay as a whole identity that requires them to embrace feminism and over-the-top personalities and I worry that they are actually denying themselves in an effort to have their sexual preference taken seriously.
If that is who they are then great, but I work with young people and I see it all the time so it has become a growing concern for me.
