PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Can Beau be any more Flaming?" |
I really think he sat down and read a manual on how to be stereotypically gay. He somehow manages to pack every single cliche into everything he does. Whether it's the wild arm jestures, the rolling eyes, the limp hand, the pink shirts, the way he jumps up and down when excited, Beau seems to have that act nailed down cold. What I'm trying to say is that I've never met a gay male who acted like this. Most I know don't fall under the "Jack from Will and Grace" type character. They mostly fall under the "normal human population" mode like everyone else does. I'm telling you, Beau is straight and playing a character. He did it just to get on the show. I have other wild theories that I'll be sharing with you all in the future.

"What I'm trying to say is that I've never met a gay male who acted like this. "I have. And that what makes things interesting and great about this world.. diversity. If everyone was the same, it would be quite boring. Some people will take pleasure in putting down flamy guys in order to try and boost the people's image of gay people, when in reality, the way to boost that image is for the people to realize that there is as much diversity in the gay community as there is in the straight one.

I completely agree, but some viewers will not reach this conclusion because Beau is the only gay guy in the house. There's no "mainstream" (for lack of a better word --- and I refuse to use the inaccurate "masculine" or the self-loathing "straight acting") gay guy in the house to provide balance. So, as Beau prances around, he merely confirms stereotypes of gay people foor viewers who have never been exposed to gay folk in real life.Beau has no responsibility to be a mouthpiece for gay rights by acting like James or Crappy to "fit in." His only responsibility is to be himself, no matter how uncomfortable that might make certain viewers at home. It's unfortunate that in being himself, some people will take him as "the" example of a monolithic gay community instead of realizing he is just an individual.

There's a monolithic gay community? *flashes on image of gay people dancing around a mysterious black stone rectangle, waving batons and blowing kisses at it* That can't be right.

Not until The Smoking Gun raises their bid to five digits and takes two of them out from behind the decimal point. Besides, the last time I tried the secret handshake, I couldn't straighten my wrist for a week. :p

Did you know Brandon wrote that manual? I found it on Amazon for $4.99. They pay me.

Sort-of-interesting story:A friend and I went to the Survivor: Marquesas finale in Central Park a few years back. We also had tickets for the afterparty. On the way over to the bar, I spotted Brandon... and asked him politely if he could sign my pass. He did. And then took out a smoke... which I lit. He thanked me kindly and was most amusing at the afterparty.  J Slice - more awesome than you since '84
