And Now: Gaybashing

But not from me. From the gay himself! Let me explain:

The downside of the blog is that people who shouldn't be heard are heard.

Enter Bryanboy. Check him out at www.bryanboy.com (or save yourself the pain and don't check him out at all). You can just trust my synopsis of the shit.

Bryanboy is this young gay Filipino guy who is the epitome of the gay stereotype. He runs this fashion blog that is pretty boring in content, and he's tacky as all hell. He basically is on the whole 'Marc Jacobs is amazing' hype that is a big ass mystery to me. Marc's clothes are ugs, period. But whatever, he's rich and I'm not so I'm not going to talk any more shit on Marc.

Anyway, so this kid Bryan gets a lot of attention for his wack blog (read: non-industry involved "critics" who have no expertise to offer) and Marc ends up naming a bag after him. What annoys me is people like Bryan get rewarded for being such characters. People want to believe in the superqueer because it reaffirms all their own stereotypes about gays as silly, bitchy, trifling fashionista's that wish they where Madonna or someone "fierce". Often times I feel these lames try to behave or emulate women, but just end up making a mockery of gays and femininity. Its not cute and I actually hate it quite a bit. Do you remember that guy Jay Carroll who won the first Project Runway and then got thrown away? Everybody laughed at him. He wasn't taken seriously as a designer because he behaved like such an unprofessional joke: a mere cartoon character of a person. Why does a gay man like Bryanboy have to make a joke out of himself by posing as some cheap gossipy queen? His tag line for his site says "I'm so gay I sweat glitter". Boo to you, Bryanboy. Not even I would say something as silly as that (and I'm the most feminine person who walks this earth, you dig?). You get a lot of attention as a gay and you rep em real bad.
