Rough draft reducto paper

Gay men are effeminate and define themselves by labels. The labels are given and adapted to within queer culture. I will argue that queer culture is natural and is not created but further developed depending on the labels that gay men adapt too and are given. The culture is developed as gay men want and desire new experiences, when defining life. Such roles that were previously adapted may be looked down upon thus being reshaped to fit the current cultural needs. Furthermore gay is not simply defined by the act of sex rather gay men are effeminate men whose traits and personality are developed and defined with other gay men, who happen to enjoy sex with men.

Queer culture exists and is natural because men who have sex with men are automatically placed into a sub cultural group. Roles then are what define the gay men within the culture: whether the role is effeminate, or masculine. Many of the roles defined are, effeminate and, similar as many gay men act alike. There are roles that are created, though roles that are created are defined by gay clichés, which will be discussed further in the paper.  There is modern gay literature that helps provide the, current trends and, natural roles, ones that were not created by gay clichés, that gay men follow. Such texts and literature express the fact that gay men often tend to, naturally, be drama queens when defining their roles.  “Drama Queen”, a well-known and respected queer culture, roles self help book, reflects the fact that some of the more prevalent roles make gay men drama queens.

Such roles include the ‘big ho’ which is the gay man that cannot keep his pants zippered and is always on the move to catch his next man. Homosexual men are very sexual beings gay men often want sex wherever they are at the time; it is something that queer culture is all about. The idea that gay men can and will define their gayness by the amount of sex they are getting with other men. Thus having multiple sexual relationships makes many of the gay men drama queens, as they are not considering the feelings for the men they have hurt. The ‘health food’ freak is what gay men strive to be. Gay men are all about keeping thin and looking their best as appearance defines how they fit into society, especially when it comes to mating with other men. The ‘Martha Stewart’ is perhaps one of the most glorified roles of being gay. When being compared to Martha Stewart shows, exemplifies that as a gay man, they know how to have the perfect dinner party having the ability to make things perfect.  Gay men’s homes will look in place and structured as gay men understand home décor to its finest. The home is the centerfold for queer culture for the fact that sexual relations often happen in their homes and one must have the perfect décor that attract gay men.

The ‘gym rat’ is another glorified role, one of the larger aspects of how gay men define themselves in queer culture, is ensuring that your are not fat and plump. There are gay men that do not always fit such standards and are judged by the ‘back stabbing bitch,’ such a bitch is the gay man that is not able to steer free from judging others. This bitch will make sure that you know that you are a gay man that does not define queer culture.  Lastly one of the most common roles that is defined within queer culture is the ‘flake’ gay men are truly to busy to have time for everyone which of course makes them seem flakey unable to make commitments. Gay men are too busy at the gym, making new outfits, and having crazy sex like hoes, therefore they are unable to make time commitments. These ideal roles are ones that make gay men unique which will pave the way of how gay men differentiate themselves amongst the world, and heterosexual culture.

The roles mentioned above are ones that come naturally gay men automatically possess the traits within the roles. It is the queer culture itself that naturally existed and they gay men that live in the culture who define the way they relate and interact. Such roles then can and will be changed as the needs are always differing within society. Some roles however never cease to change. As gay men adapt certain roles after being placed into queer culture it is essential that gay men take advice from men’s gay fashion magazines, even though most gay men have the natural ability to understand color, some gay men need some extra assistance. Such fashion magazines allow gay men to better understand how to be dressed and groomed as appearance defines gay men within society. Genre magazine is one that defines style as the central point of queer culture fashion. Gay men love to dress up and look their best for their men, after all it is like a market and if you want to sell yourself like the big ho you have to look the part. Part of queer culture is to have the ability for gay men to express their way of fitting in with other gay men.

 I will argue that the vast majority of gay men are always well dressed and the ones that are not clearly do not follow cultural guidelines. Gay men that do not define cultural standards often look to the gay literature as if they were self-help books. Such literature is found in heterosexual culture as well.  Straight women are emulating and looking at the cosmopolitan magazines for fashion, health and dating advice. Because gay men are superior and already come equipped with fashion knowledge they only need guidelines of what is exactly current for them to wear. One of the current issues this summer described that the ‘gym rat’ wants to have the perfect swimsuit that fits his but this summer. It gave all of the essential steps he needs to take to ensure that the men he surrounds himself will see his newly shaped ass. Such magazines show the true importance of maintaining your health and but size or you will be the gay man that is exiled into the misfits.  Gay men can be ostracized by the ‘back stabbing bitch,’ which will be judging the amount of fat roles you possess. Because gay men have the tendency to judge others it reiterates the fact that gay men are drama queens, when defining themselves within queer culture.

Because gay men have the natural tendency to desire and have crazy sex, some gay men may want a sex buddy or relationships. There are gay men who use self-help books to show them what kind of drama queen they can associate with and date or just have sex with. There are certain gay men within the book that attract more men than others. These gay men are ones that define queer culture and often resemble strength through the characteristics the book defines such as being thin, fashionable and lives drama. There are archetypes of boyfriends that reflect many of the dramatic tendencies that are defined within queer culture.

Before gay men can have successful relationships they must go through the gay right of passage. “Boyfriend 101,” helps gay men clarify what the gay right of passage is and how one follows through this passage. As gay men live within the culture it is evident that many of the newly gay men will go through a few stages. Some of the more prevalent stages are the ‘slut’ stage: which, is the time that gay men become very excited about liking men and will have crazy sex with any gay guy they see. ‘Perfection, the yoga boy’ is another perception that gay men all follow, when looking for their new boyfriends.  Gay men dream for the man that is thin chiseled and has a penis to die for.  Gay men will follow such principles for their boyfriend hunting for about six months or so when they realize that it is not possible to find the boy toy they have been dying for. Once this stage is complete gay men will follow newly found fashion trends and work out until they have the ability to find the dream man.

All to often though dating does not work well with gay men. Much of the literature that is out there for gay dating exploits the fact that gay men do not have the ability to be monogamous. Because gay men cannot hold unto one sexual partner it is a challenge to hold unto to that boy toy of yours. Therefore such texts and self help books that define the roles gay men possess will shed the light on the necessary steps to exclude yourself from becoming the slut, or worse the back stabbing bitch.

It is important that gay men meet their boyfriends in socially acceptable places within queer culture. If gay men meet their prospective boyfriends within gay social places it is more likely to work out. Some of the best places to meet new men may be the gym or perhaps stores that generally carry effeminate things, where at large gay men are attracted. Due to the fact that gay men care about appearance it is highly likely that gay men are loyal to luxury brands. When gay men approach the counter it is inevitable for the other gay men to stay at a distance; it sets the gay man up for a possible hook up or future date.

As mentioned earlier gay men go through a phase, ‘gay right of passage’ and once gay men have matured it is easier for them to meet men who may be more promising and not as inclined to cheat on them becoming the man hoe.  More so there are also special ways that gay men communicate to gain access to other gay men they have their own body language to communicate with one another. Some of the more common body language methods used are: Wearing skintight jeans and scarves showing off your sexy body. Gay men naturally love men that are chiseled and look like a Greek God. Gay men will sit in cafes, gyms, and urban areas to gain access to fruity men that lurk the streets. Because gay men have the natural ability to dress and act effeminate it is something gay men use as a mating tactic.

To ensure though that all of these tactics work gay men have to first understand that there is phase that they go though and once through the phase they will ultimately find a sex partner for the night or their next boyfriend. More so as gay men work through their rite of passage it is evident that gay men will be more likely to better understand their needs not looking as much into self help books to stay current. As new trends emerge gay men who have gone through the ‘right of passage’ will not necessarily associate with the new idealisms of what being ‘gay’ is.

Due to the fact that the older gay men do not associate with newly defined roles it is may be sees that the newer gay men are ones that take the standards to the extreme, which causes them to be named as the gay cliché. These gay men are ones, by elder gay men’s standards, who cannot understand how to take on a role or what it means to be gay which only gives gay men. Gay clichés at large do not understand queer culture, they try too hard to define and redefine what is natural which will make you stand out. They are pretending to be gay, therefore basing the idea that queer culture is created stems from the perception of defining through gay clichés. The medias portrayal is mirroring the idea that gay clichés are the men who define the culture.  Therefore when looking through the media it only seems if the culture was created when in fact the culture itself already existed. The cultural roots stay them same. Gay men tend to act the same within the roles they portray, however, as the world view changes some of the principles change, thus making the way, newer out of the closet, gay men communicate different.

Therefore I have proved that this culture, queer culture, is not created rather defined as gay men all have very similar tendencies in how gay men act and define their personalities. Further, I express the fact that these stereotypes cannot be created they are natural. Gay men have the natural tendency to be dramatic. Gay men being drama queens is the main reason they are separated, again, because they define their lives on drama and sex which creates such roles which may or may not be effeminate. Effeminate men, possibly gay clichés, further their image from gay literature that is published. Therefore again this culture is not created, rather redefined and shaped as new people influence the way gay men act and behave.

Dilemma with counter example and concept paper

Dilemma:

There comes a problem that is evident in the thesis “living in a queer culture does not make one gay or commit homosexual acts, but rather a conformist to an illegitimate, created, society.” There is clearly an issue where there are different definitions to the words gay and homosexual. However, whether there are different definitions or not it does not answer the cause of homosexuality. Therefore as it stands I will argue that queer culture is an excuse for homosexuality to exist. Whether you take on a label or not you are still identifying to certain ideals. Such ideals can shape the way people behave within society.

            The terms and definitions of what Gay and Homosexual are need to be clarified to further express the concept that queer culture was in fact created, not making one commit homosexual sex acts rather conforming to social cues that are associated with people who claim to be gay not homosexual.

counter argument

Counter argument:

It is argued by Derrick Woolfson:  that living in a queer culture does not make one gay or commit homosexual acts, but rather a conformist to an illegitimate, created, society.

I shall argue that queer culture does make one gay whether you commit homosexual acts or not. More so that the society itself was not created rather existed.

For example:

1.     Men who live in the queer culture will adapt to cultural roles, which are gay. The word gay refers to a persona not the actual act of homosexuality, which by definition is the act of having sex with men.

a.     The act of homosexuality refers to the sexual relations between two males.

b.     The word gay refers to the lifestyle and persona that men adapt too while living in the queer culture.

To state that the culture is created is wrong; men who have sex with men are automatically placed into a sub cultural group. There are men within the culture that will portray certain cultural traditions, such as effeminate characteristics. Further men who live in the culture may be gay but not homosexual, or rather, the men within the culture may be homosexual and not gay.

1.     I shall begin with the fact that prior to Derrick coming out of the closet his piers stated that he was gay referring as he always fit the gay lifestyle. The terms of how Derrick was claimed to have been gay were wrong, however, Derrick is a homosexual but not gay.

Therefore being gay is not being homosexual, however still makes you apart of queer culture. There are two different words that have been evaluated: Gay, which is the idea of taking on a persona or a personality. Where as the word homosexual refers to the actual act of having sex with men. Derrick is apart of queer culture not because he is gay but because he is a homosexual. More so the word queer by definition refers to anything that is not of the ordinary. Gay and homosexual men both are placed into queer culture. As such queer culture was not created rather existed.

New revised draft

Homosexuality shall be defined by the act itself (i.e. the sexual intimacies occurring between two people of the same sex) rather than queer culture conceptualizations. It is arguable that some gay men who follow queer culture are heterosexual. Men, who claim to be heterosexual but act on homosexual acts are true homosexuals. It defines the concept that living in a queer culture does not make one gay or commit homosexual acts, but rather a conformist to an illegitimate, created, society.

Queer culture is a phenomenon where gay, and straight, men define and construct their identities on what society constructs as being gay. Men who claim to live this lifestyle at large tend to emulate rigorous effeminate gender roles. Effeminate gender roles lead to assumptions and stereotypes that are socially constructed. Stereotypically gay men could have knowledge of the fashion industry, art, cooking, and possibly even having the desire to be women.

A very common discernment within the queer culture concept is that men who dress well, cook, bake, or do not follow rigid gender roles are then homosexual. Therefore, men who may not enjoy sexual relations with men, yet dress fashionably or have effeminate tendencies may be labeled as homosexuals. Due to the amount of demands that may be placed on the individual who is following queer culture, may cause them to come out of the closet, when in fact they are heterosexual. This can be very disadvantageous to the health of individual when living a life of lies and mass confusion.

The idea that gay men must adhere to socially constructed roles refers to their “social” identities as homosexuals, not the homosexual act itself. Therefore, adding socially constructed conceptualizations to the definition gay creates a culture. If homosexuality is a socially constructed form of mannerisms not necessarily having to do with the act itself, perhaps there is not a clear definition of what homosexuality is. Homosexual men that follow such concepts are characters living a persona.

Gay men who closely follow roles of the queer culture are creating a persona that is socially constructed, often emulating an effeminate persona. Within this cultural phenomenon, there are trends where this form of life is largely celebrated with parades that adapt to current demands. The idea that parades and towns are needed to celebrate homosexuality further relates it to a lifestyle rather than a natural tendency. Not all men understand the same things such as art, cooking, baking amongst other “queer” culture concepts: such principles are learned and practiced making one a slave to a lifeless culture.

 Once gay or straight men become part of this queer culture, it is nearly impossible to separate yourself from the stereotypes whether gay or not. The character strips the ability of being able to differentiate oneself as an individual. A homosexual should not follow the socially constructed ideals; they represent the concept of playing a character based upon societal standards of what it means to be gay. Rather the homosexual should be an individual that enjoys sexual intimacies with the same sex. For the act it self, man with man, is homosexuality by definition. By definition it is not mentioned that gay men have to behave upon socially constructed behaviors that are said to describe homosexuality.

 Thus, in this case, it is permissible to state that “gay” men who claim they want “straight” acting men are by definition homosexuals. This concept approaches that men will combat against queer culture to simply, identify, gay, sex as an act, not a culture. This phenomenon raises the idea that queer culture was created, desired and adapted to. Having been created, there are gay men within queer culture who take the ideals to the extreme and are referred to as a gay cliché. Gay clichés are looked down upon and often disrespected within queer culture. Such affirmations are the very structures that closely resemble a formula, thus making gay men easily predictable.

In conclusion men who follow “queer” culture concepts are not necessarily homosexuals. It is evident that there is not a clear definition of homosexuality; rather, homosexuals are largely defined by a culture rather than the act itself. As such, there are fallacies within what the definition is.  Due to the concept that queer lifestyle is created is in relation with the problematic issues with gay clichés. Gay clichés must then reformulate the roles of queer culture to ensure the exemption of becoming the new gay cliché. Therefore queer culture is invented, practiced, and desired as one as to reformulate oneself.

Counter argument

There is a queer culture that exists as men who have sexual relations with men are automatically placed into a sub cultural group. Within the cultural group there are guidelines of which homosexual men follow. Some guidelines are created upon the perception of what is stereotypical of the word gay, the persona, not necessarily defined by queer culture itself, rather media and literature. Character traits and guidelines within the sub cultural group that are easily predictable, created, are ones that tend to, define gay clichés.

            Gay clichés emulate personas based upon how society constructs the word gay such as effeminate gender roles, and the appeal to character traits. Such clichés exist within queer culture however that does not define queer culture. Rather Queer culture exists as sexual relations with men exist, and by the definition of queer are different from the usual. Such facts refer to the idea that heterosexual men are different and as such are placed into the queer culture, not due to the fact that certain men take cultural values to the extreme.             

Therefore the word gay refers to the persona that some homosexual men within the queer culture adapt themselves too:  Such a persona may emulate a gay cliché however does not negate the fact that there is a culture where gay men exist that was not created, rather existed.

Gay cliches are produced like shiny little toys

This photo above was taken at TOWN night club in Washington, DC.

 

Part of studying queer culture is being apart of it exploring what similarities are amongst the gay men if any? my goal when searching for similarities amongst gay men in queer culture,  is spotting the gay cliches. There were multiple men who entered the club very similarly dressed. Tight jeans, scarves, blackberry's, loud voices all prancing around, like characters rather than themselves. I asked one of the guys was he upset because many of the other guys were wearing similar things and whether or not that  detracted his look? he said "Girl, no these bitches are a hot mess, I am the diva tonight and bitch I know that my D&G scarf is the best" this statement was scary yet highly predictable. Clearly this gentlemen took on this persona acting like a diva, not because that is who he is rather because he is gay. So I ask myself then being gay is a diva who has the best scarf for the night? after clearing up that he is a diva I said do you act this way everywhere you go? his response was "Fuck you, and no I cannot live the gay life in the streets, its like I am two people" two people? "yes, we gay men have standards" what kind of standards, "like you know tight jeans, skinny and bitchy" oh no I was not aware of such standards. It was sad clearly there are roles that are assigned making this queer culture highly predictable and clearly a created culture.

 

The man seem programmed, like he just read a manual on how to dress act and speak for the night. Therefore there are some men who follow queer culture that solely define their identities on socially constructed ques.  Further are these men actually gay? when men were dancing closely towards a few they freaked out as if the men trying to dance with them were diseased.

The word gay clearly did not mean homosexual sex rather it referred to men that wore scarves, tight jeans  having a blackberry in the hand.

My next adventure will be back to DC next weekend to ask the BEARS some questions as I believe they are a subculture within queer culture that are highly known.

Therefore, adding socially constructed conceptualizations to the definition gay creates a culture.

For the act it self, man with man, is homosexuality in its purest form. By definition it is not necessary to behave upon socially constructed behaviors that are said to describe homosexuality.

 Thus, in this case, it is permissible to state that “gay” men who claim they want “straight” acting men are by definition homosexuals. This concept approaches that men will combat against queer culture to simply enjoy sex as an act. This phenomenon raises the idea that queer culture was created, desired and adapted to.

Therefore queer culture is invented, practiced, and desired as one as to reformulate oneself. If homosexuals were defined solely by the act and not a lifestyle it will lead to less men acting gay upon falsified, societal, standards. The concept that homosexuality will be looked upon as an act can lead to the revolutionary idea that a culture was created to give an excuse or a reason for homosexuality as there is no proven cause. If there is not a cause or reason it is evident that a culture would have perhaps shaped the word into a form of life itself which has transcended into gay a thing we live by not necessarily act on.

Drama queen? This is disturbing!

This book is perhaps one of the most disgusting stereotyped pieces of "queer" literature to hit the shelves. This book is targeted towards the young active gay male; the idea that one needs a manual to survive his type. What is more bothersome is the fact that it states that all gay men are predisposed to a drama gene? really? who should believe this blasphemous material. After more reading I discovered that the author claims that all gay men are an archetype of drama such as: gym addict, Martha Stewart, The hoe, and various other roles. It puzzles me that men will define themselves as being a "role" rather a "character" because that is what being "gay" is!!!!

NO, gay perhaps one of the most misused words. it is not made clear that homosexual means one that has sex with the same sex. This does NOT define that gay men will become the next Martha, Hoe or even a gym addict. This shitty literature further develops the idea that such a culture is created. It is not natural for men to come out fucking men who have the ability of being Martha or the next Hoe!!! will there be a time when sex is looked at for sex and there are not characteristics attributed with sex!?

Revised draft

Homosexuality shall be defined by the act itself, i.e. the sexual intimacies occurring between two people of the same sex, rather than the “queer” culture conceptualizations. It is arguable that homosexuals who claim themselves to be gay not by the act it self-but, rather, off of “queer” culture concepts. It eludes the idea that men claiming themselves to be gay upon such standards may be heterosexual and ones that engage in the act itself and not the “queer” culture are in fact heterosexuals.

“Queer” culture is a phenomenon where gay men define and construct their identities on what society says is right for gay men to live by. Men who claim to live this lifestyle at large tend to also have rigorous gender roles that often reflect effeminate tendencies. This results in assumptions’ and stereotypes that gay men could have knowledge of the fashion industry, art, cooking taking on effeminate roles or even, possibly having, the desire to be women. Another perception within the “queer” culture is that gay men are promiscuous whores who do not have the ability to have monogamous relationships. All of these concepts are associated with men who do not necessarily enjoy the idea of being sexual with the same sex, however because they act “differently” within the heterosexual gender roles, they are then considered to be gay and force themselves to live this lifestyle. 

The idea that gay men must adhere to such choices, as a homosexual or one that does not refer to rigid gender roles, refers to their “social” identities, as homosexuals, and not the sexual act itself. Therefore it creates a culture. If homosexuality is a socially constructed form of behavior and not necessarily having to do with the act itself then perhaps there is not a clear definition of what homosexuality is. Homosexual men that follow such concepts are characters rather than human beings with feelings. Gay men who closely follow roles of the “queer” culture are puppets of falsely social constructed behaviors that often emulate effeminate qualities. Within this cultural phenomenon there are practices where this form of life is largely celebrated with parades. The idea that parades and towns are needed to celebrate homosexuality further relates it to an act than a natural tendency. For not all men understand the same things such as art, cooking, baking amongst other “queer” culture concepts. Such principals are learned and practiced making one a slave to a lifeless culture full of meaningless short-lived pleasures.

Once, gay or straight men become, part of this “queer” culture, It is nearly impossible to separate yourself from the stereotypes that come along with concept of being a homosexual: sadly, whether you are gay or not. The character (i.e. the gay man based upon “queer” culture) takes over the ability to differentiate you as an individual human being. It is as if you stripped yourself of personality becoming a slave to a false identity. A homosexual should not follow the socially constructed ideals having to take on a character based upon societal standards of what homosexuality is. Rather the homosexual should be an individual whom enjoys sexual intimacies with the same sex, one that does not follow rigorous lifestyle changes. For that is homosexuality in its purest form without the idea that there are socially constructed behaviors that must associate themselves with homosexuality.

A very common miss perception within the “queer” culture concept is that men who dress well, cook, bake or who are into art are homosexual. Therefore men who may not enjoy sexual relations with men, yet dress fashionably or have effeminate tendencies are considered homosexual. Due to the amount of pressure that may be placed on the individual it may cause them to come out of the closet when in fact they are heterosexual. This can be very detrimental to ones health as the individual is living a life of lies and mass confusion.

Therefore it is permissible to state that men who mess around and claim they want “straight” acting men, are men that may actually be true homosexuals. This concept approaches the idea that men will combat against social standards, ones that are applied to homosexuals, to simply enjoy sex and not live a false “queer” lifestyle. When men desire relations with men that are “straight” acting it is applying homosexuality to its purest form, the idea that men have sexual relations with men without the social standards on behavior. This phenomenon raises the idea that “queer” culture was created, desired and lived, whereas homosexuality has been around, which is the act.

In conclusion, men that tend not to follow societal standards of the “queer” culture may be the homosexuals. Whereas a vast majority of the men who claim to be homosexual may have fooled themselves into adapting a lifestyle that do not enjoy and feel as if they are in a play as a character. It is crucial to look at homosexuality for the act i.e. the intimate relations between people of the same sex rather than the socially constructed signals we send such as “queer” culture.
