Didi you notice that I did not add the T to LGB? 40 years ago there were were no open Trans people. 40 years ago most LGB people were in hiding. 40 years ago 2 guys or girls could not go to the prom together. 40 years ago people all had to conform to local standards, that is why all the hippies went to SF. 40 years ago you would not have been able to. Please stop lumping all Gay men with gender non conforming people… you folks can do your own thing. I do not conform to what the straight community want me to be either. I conform to who I AM, not to what the gender nonconforming queers want me to be. Most of us do not want to be perceived as fem.
GAY PRIDE T SHIRTS OLD NAVY FREE
And how much did they donate to Trevor compared to all the free publicity?) It’s just like a straight bar is worried about becoming a “gay bar” if a couple of men hold hands in their Hermes3X: You are waaaaay of the mark with your comments.įirst… Most Gay Men are tired of hearing about fem and gender non conforming. It seems that Old Navy is worried about becoming a “gay store” after selling pride Ts in a couple of their locals (an obvious dig to their competitors, Urban Outfitters. The ad is anti-gay, trans-phobic and ultimately it is misogynistic, because THE WORST, MOST ABHORRENT AND EVIL thing that any MAN can do is dress like a WOMAN in any way, shape or form. Suggesting that these models aren’t ‘guys’. The clinker in this ad did not read “Butch it up at Old Navy” it reads “dress like a guy”. Kids have fewer acceptable choices now than they did even 40 years ago. The spectrum of ‘manhood’ or being a ‘man’ is growing narrower and narrower because of ads like this.
It also makes for fewer socially acceptable ways for a man to be a man. When corporations like Old Navy tell us there is only one way for a man to dress, it robs all of us of individuality and expression.
To suggest otherwise means you have your head in the sand or up a darker place. I don’t write the ‘rules’ I’m just reporting them. Sissy always implies gay, as in Sissy Boy Experiment. ALL slams against feminine men are a slam against gay and gender non-conformity.
