Not to be stereotypical – BUT……
When I first heard about the movie Burlesque one of the first thoughts I had (after the O-Em-Hallelujah moment) was:
“I need more gays in my life.”
I wanted to watch it with a “Gay Male” who could appreciate the fabulous factor.
I love Christina. Do you not? Please tell me why. I love music and will defend her to the death.
Sadly, I am bereft. I finally bit bullet and rented it on Netflix. I watched it tonight. It was nice. But I miss my imaginary gay boyfriend.
“I need more gays.”
Because “they” would watch Kathy Griffin with me.
(I read the book, by the way. Loved it.)
Because “they” can help me with my fashion and interior decorating skills.
Because “they” are people who have battled with self-acceptance and won.
(Personal motto)
Because I’ve never met a gay man who hasn’t experienced body issues. They get it. Yet, they’re over it.
Because they would call me on my shiz…
”Girl? Go eat a carb or something and stop crying about your thighs. Over it. Boring”
They’re here. Get used to it.
My thighs, that is.
I don’t know. Gay boyfriends are cool. I’ve had some. I want more.
I’m accepting applications, by the way.
Awww… wish I could be your local gay. We’ll have to settle for the long distance gay boyfriend thing. Luckily, there’s more gay down in South Florida than Liberace riding a rhinestone-encrusted unicorn through a field of rainbows, so there’s plenty for you to choose from.
However, Brad, I somehow do not think you’d be up for watching Burlesque, knowing you.
You could cook carbs with me though.
I’ve seen it actually. I would bring along better campy movies to watch immediately afterwards and then make you some of those pizzas I used to make in college that we could scarf down while watching.
You have a place to stay in SoFla.
I’m not gay and I’m not a guy, but I get it. I’d call you on your shit too. I’m not really sure what that says about me…but its true. So there.
I need more girlriends like you.
I bristle a touch at this for my own issues… the last guy I dated is now, himself, gay. That means he was gay when we dated. The damage done to both of us in the process was impressive… and if that’s not a mindf*ck I could have lived without, I don’t know what is.
But in the spirit in which this was intended, YEP.
Sounds like a mindscrew for both of you BUT we can look at it this way — he’s “found” himself. That’s cool.
That Burlesque movie was TERRIBLE…You do NOT need to watch it..ever! lol
Well..i’m not a gay male but I’ll deff fill out a friend application
xx
I’ll have to post an application on facebook.
I love Xtina. Love. Love. Love.
I lack two of the main criteria that you’re looking for (namely the gay and boy part), but I DO meet several of the other things that you’re looking for… I’d call you on your shit and tempt you with carbs until you gave in. I’d never let you think that you’re fat because I’ve been there, done that, and it’s boring. I’d do my best to talk fashion with you, while definitely becoming obsessed with home decor… Is that enough to make up for my lack of gayness and boyish parts?
When can you start?
I wish we lived close! I’d call you out or find you a gay man that would. Go liberal arts schools!
Come to think of it _ gots me plenty of blogg peeps who call me on my shiz all the time.
That’s pretty rad.
I absolutely ADORE xtina. Always have. Aww it was nice to hear the voice within again. Totally going to put my Christina playlist on tomorrow!
She’s got talent for sure.
I had the best gay friend in college!
(There are more stories! Just for a laugh!)
Oh. EM. JAY.KAY. elemenno-pee.
Thanks SO much Sarah.
You are really hilarious.
So true. I could use someone to call me on my shit. And discuss Lindsay Lohan with.
I enjoyed this post but have a question for you…hope it’s not too personal. Since you are a Christian, do you support homosexuality?
Very good question….
One that I have trouble with to this day. For now, and I speak for myself— I don’t have difficulty loving Gay people and I have not heard from God that he does not love Gay people either. In fact, the verses that people point to in the Bible do little to persuade me. I do not think that love between two people is a sin – regardless of gender or sex. I don’t think being gay is a perversion of evil.
I do know that God detests lascivious sex –sex without love, sex used as recreation (for sport) and I think in that sense both homosexuals and heterosexuals can be guilty.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks for your response. I definitely agree with you about loving gay people; I think we are called to love EVERYONE. God is not calling us to condemn others , but to love them. That’s the only way people will respond.
However, I do think that God created romantic and sexual attraction to be between a man and a woman. Yet it is possible to love the person without loving their lifestyle.
I also think that Christians put way too much focus on homosexuality; it is just like any other sin, and we’re all sinners (including me). So until I can live a perfect life free of sin ( which I cannot) I will not be condemning anyone. God is the judge, not me.
Thanks for all you do on the blog. Your fighting spirit against ED is amazing and inspiring to me.
I agree with you on so many levels.
For some reason I just cannot see it as a sin. I love so many gay people.
I do not listen to Christian Aguilera, but that girl can sang. I mean, as in; chills and realizing that she has a gift in tone that brings others’ together. Even if I do not listen to pop music; I can respect those that can go there.
As for this post; I’m glad that you can see (as I’ve read through the comments) that you’ve got support no matter whom it is coming from.)
And to answer the question that Lucy asked; I offer you kind respect for answering this. For me; anyone who judges another based on who they love is not aligning with the “unconditional love and acceptance” that is taught in the Bible or otherwise. Good for you for taking on the question and answering.
Love is love.
And I have to say that I’m grateful for all I know, no matter whom they love. I am not a judge.
I think guy friends in general are pretty amazing
I’ve always been a guy’s gal, too.
I love that you love Christina and Kathy!!! Just wanted to say that:) Sending {{{HUGS}}}
