Earlier I thought of my friend, K, and we became friends when we were talking casually at work and the subject of Discus fish came up. He said 'Symphyosodon' since he knew a genus name off the top of his head.
Right away I knew, yes, we can be friends. His mind accumulates useless knowledge for no particular reason so this is definitely an interesting person. He was also queer as Liberace but we were talking about fish and not sex.
K was smart, interesting, and cynical toward the state, so he was generally all the things which bring coolness and I would see him sometimes with his partner, J, when Mystery Lady and I would visit. As things evolved, it became clear J had AIDS but smoking my ganja brought him some relief so we would hang out for some smiles once in a while.
Now J was definitely a poof but I don't know enough gay people to know if macho gay people prefer poofy partners or what. That was just how it shook out with these guys.
The point of the mention is J eventually died and I saw part of how hideous it was near the end in the hospital. After K recovered to some extent, he decided he would quit this chicken outfit so he bundled up his stuff and went off to the Philippines. I haven't heard from him in some years so he has probably checked out too by now but he was having a high old time teaching kids in Filipino churches how to use computers.
So K was gay but he definitely wasn't a poof.
There's another gay guy I often quote for giving the most bad-ass rock performance I ever saw when he played even when he was deathly ill from AIDS. That had to be thirty years ago and it was one of the most impressive and transforming things I ever saw a human do.
There was definitely zero poof in that guy either.
My cuz is as out as out can be and I think he may have been a bit miffed when I said something to the effect he doesn't seem all that gay. That's because gay is like, you know, Pride parades, right??
Actually it's more like insurance salesmen these days if a gay guy would really do that job but the liberation of gay people has given them the freedom to be as boring as the rest of us.
He's not a poof either unless you consider cultured living to be a gay thing. He has a number of acquired tastes and we don't share them but largely because we think a chunk of peasant bread, some cheese, and some wine are about all most really need and they have exquisite dimensions should you choose to explore them. Nevertheless, there are acquired tastes also and some enjoy them.
The break-out aspect is he rolls. He is one travelin' man. His means seem comfortable with managing some properties or some such and these afford him the ability to travel extensively, particularly over the Far East.
And then I see straight guys writing this pukey crap on Facebook with oh, oh, oh, I love my wife or my special squeeze and, oh, oh, oh, I would be nothing without her. Apparently these guys don't consider much how screaming funny that must be to gay guys who, we imagine, have only one thought on seeing such things, "Gimme a fuckin' break, if you please!"
Maybe that's why I'm calling the Editor 'Dagwood' all the time as it seems straight males are competing to be the most Dagwood of them all.
(Ed: so you're saying straight guys need to act more gay?)
Well, no, Dagwood ... I'm fookin' shouting it. Let's see some Lawrence of Arabia stuff, you fuckin' pussies! (larfs)
