Can't you be a "Real Man" and be Gay?

Conversing at Christmas party and a conversation about gays and "real men" came up. I apparently started WWIII by stating that a real man could also be a gay man. I am guessing that men don't stop being men simply because their sexuality geared toward the same sex. There were some extremely educated people there with some very closed points of view. My thoughts went to my friend who is an activist for educating young gay teens the prevention of HIV, he has a Masters in Psychology and he is also one of the most loving people I know. Isn't that a Real Man? One with a responsibilty to not just himself but to the world at large and does his tiny part? What do you think?

    When one thinks of a "real man," one thinks of someone like John Wayne. Someone rugged, someone brash, someone raw and sexy that takes command of situations, a leader...a guy that can jump in there and cut a bunch of firewood, herd some horses, fix or build his house and fix his big ole' pick-up truck. A man that other men want to be and that women want to be ravaged by...lol.

    Now, being a woman in the dating community, I put most straight men on the same level as most gay men...maybe that is b/c I live in Dallas where we have a high population of metrosexuals (who are all fake and irritate the crap out of me!) who might as well be gay anyway. Or maybe it's b/c they are all just cityfied and couldn't do anything for themselves to save their lives. I grew up in the country just south of Austin, so it wasn't like it was the boonies b/c we were very close to town, but these Dallas guys are just idiots. I'm so sick of grown men whining all the time! And all they can find time to do is drink themselves to death. Drinking is how "men" these days deal with their supposed problems, most of which are caused by themselves. If I have to hear, "my childhood wasn't the greatest" or any other excuse for why their lives are the way they are (which is GREAT compared to most of the rest of the world's population) one more time, I think I'll vomit.

    Can you imagine John Wayne whining about anything? A real man's way of dealing with issues is to get out there and work his *** off doing SOMETHING productive, not bitching about life like Perez Hilton.

    Yes they are still "male" but they are not real "men". Kinda hard to understand if your not

    a guy. Yes gays can be great people and in no way do I condone violence against them but they are wierd and abnormal. The human race wouldn't have survived if we were meant to be gay.
