How can we expect straight people across the globe to accept gay people when we as a gay community can’t even accept the differences within each other?

O, and there is another spelling mistake Pierre before you try and point it out.

Gaby, I did miss the point. You are right after reading the article again.

Miskien moet jy my `n les in spelling en “grammer” leer… O nee wag, ek kan nie. Gym sessie vanaand. Jammer! Sien jy het darem verstaan wat ek ges het. Neem aan jy is `n onderwyser wat mense spel foute uitwys. WORLD PEACE! “wink”

Derek, at no point in this article is Dylan telling you to “start liking fat men” as you put it. You seem personally offended that he exposes one of the core prejudices present in the gay community. Instead of defensively justifying a superficial standpoint as a mere matter of “taste” – as many homo/hetero people justify their racism when asked why they don’t date outside their race – perhaps take the article for its purpose: to get folks to reflect on themselves and how they treat others. In the LGBTI community we’re all about labels – fem, butch, top, bottom, boi, twink etc – we often are so fixated on these that we forget to treat each other as human beings. Dylan is no way saying you (or any other person) do not deserve “a healthy attractive man”, but he is pointing out that gays of all shapes and sizes don’t deserve to be shunned or ostracised because they don’t “make the grade” We all get wrinkled and shrivel to dirt in the end. We do ourselves an injustice by excluding people from our life based purely on superficial assumptions.

Lol, given that you can barely spell and string together sentences I seriously doubt you’ll be first in line for that job – no matter how attractive you think you are. Also, you completely missed the point of the article, but then again it’s not clear if you’re able to read. Maybe a little less time in the gym and a little more with the books. WORLD PEACE! *wink*
