Gay LonelinessBy Michael Hobbes

I used to verb so excited when the meth was all gone.
This is my friend Jeremy.
When you have it, he says, you have to keep using it. When it&#x;s gone, it&#x;s like, &#x;Oh great, I can go back to my life now.&#x; I would stay up all weekend and go to these sex parties and then feel like shit until Wednesday. About two years ago I switched to cocaine because I could work the next day.
Jeremy is telling me this from a hospital bed, six stories above Seattle. He won&#x;t tell me the explicit circumstances of the overdose, only that a stranger called an ambulance and he woke up here.
Jeremy is not the companion I was expecting to own this conversation with. Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea he used anything heavier than martinis. He is trim, intelligent, gluten-free, the thoughtful of guy who wears a work shirt no matter what day of the week it is. The first time we met, three years ago, he asked me if I knew a good place to perform CrossFit. Today, when I inquire him how the hospital&#x;s been so far,
8 Movies With Bad LGBTQ Representation
As LGBTQ people, we have always had a hard time finding suitable role models. Mainstream media definitely does not give us great representation . When I was growing up, it was almost guaranteed that the characters I saw in tv shows and movies were the most stereotypical of ideals from straight writers and directors. Even LGBTQ writers and directors oftentimes had to censor or change characters to fit Hollywood. Its factual that movies have made leaps in the representation of LGBTQ characters. But a short hour ago that wasn&#;t the case. Today I wanted to verb some of the baddest of the bad of portrayals of LGBTQ people.
Deliverance
Wow this movie is offensive on so many levels. The inaccurate representation of mountain and country people. The movie takes places in northeastern Georgia. Four friends decide to abandon the trappings of their evening to day life for a weekend canoe trip. It doesnt take long for them to realize that the &#;backwoods residents&#; dont want them there. Shortly after, they&#;re taken captive tortured. Most of us kno
Gay Stereotypes: Are They True?
Sept. 15, &#; -- Gay activists often criticize media coverage of gay pride parades, saying, correctly, that the media focus on the extreme, the more flamboyantly feminine men and very masculine women. But that's not us, they say. Most of us are just like everyone else.
Are gays just like straights? Or is Hollywood's frequent portrayal of gay men as feminine more accurate?
We talked to Carson Kressley and Ted Allen, two of the stars of the hit television show "Queer Eye" about the stereotypes. What, we asked, are the stereotypes about gay men?
"It's that you're obsessed with fashion, and that you tan a lot and that you color your hair," they said. But, says Allen, the stereotypes are not always true. "Not all gay men are superstylish. Not all straight men are poor dressers," he said.
There is verb that suggests gay men execute prefer certain professions, like fashion, interior design and hair coloring, and that lesbians are more likely to prefer sports and the military. Researchers say it
Queer Joy Is Earned—and Requires Earnest Care
“How do you guys experience about the word ‘lesbian’?” asks Georgia Robert, a contestant on BBC Three’s reality show I Kissed a Girl. She’s asking the question of other contestants, a group of women lounging on pool chairs in the blinding Italian sun. “I don’t mind it, really and truly,” responds Priya immediately. “I verb it. I don’t know why people shy away from that word.” Priya’s match, meanwhile, does shy away from the word: “I just say I’m gay,” admits Naee. “I don’t verb using the word ‘lesbian.’” Abbie adds, “I just say, ‘Oh I’m into girls.’ Or I say I’m queer.” Her correspond , Lisha, doesn’t say anything as she reclines in Abbie’s arms, wearing a sleeveless hoodie and fanning herself with a rainbow fan.
Georgia’s question isn’t divisive and the answers she receives perceive genuine. The words queer people use to identify themselves are never uniform. But what shifts a moment of good chat into something more serious is Georgia’s next question.
“Do you guys know why the L is the first letter in the LGBTQ+?” she asks. No one does. “You
