The Brent Star Report- Last Gay Men Standing
We can handle not eating at Chick-Fil-A, we can “dislike” Rick Perry’s ridiculous campaign video on YouTube, we can throw Michele Bachmann over a bridge, but how can we in this new year continue to ignore the growing tumbleweed that’s sweeping across the ATL’s ‘gay scene’? I’m sorry, but Midtown is losing business and slowly losing its identity! Am I the only one noticing that the only time when we really see all of us is during the Pride parades? But the minute it’s over, we run back inside our shells. If we don’t get over our differences and support each other, we’ll be doomed to loose even more businesses this year. We can’t let those homophobic whores win by watching us shrink into a forgettable state of oblivion!
Another scary thing I’ve noticed is how so many of us are marching back into the closet. Gay used to mean HAPPY, now it seems to be something to be “ashamed of”. What happened to the brave warriors of our community who had NO PROBLEM with expressing themselves? Where are those expressive leather men or androgynous cross dressers who did it for themselves and each other, and not just for a show… where are you?
What I’m saying is too many of us have become too afraid to express ourselves to the point of dangerously blending in with the rest of the cookie cutters. Snap out of that spell and be you! Yeah, I know every gay guy isn’t meant to sashay, so I’m talking to those brave and bold gay MEN who genuinely WANT to snap, walk, dress, speak, shop, live and breath the way you truly are and NOT how the world tell you how you’re SUPPOSED to be.
This is a brand new year, we’re back at square zero. It’s up to us to make the scene HAPPEN again…it’s up to YOU. Start your engines…and don’t fuck it up!
UNTIL next week, DON’T read the girls, instead read The Brent Star Report!
