You've Got Male! (Queer Eye is an assault on hetero males)

There has been a great big whoosh of public palaver about the Bravo network show involving five homosexual men -- the Fab 5 -- who have busied themselves renovating, for a fee and in public view, the clothes, food, hair, skin and comportment of hapless heterosexual males.

..with another assault on heteromales

Heteromales? I’m not a heteromale. I’m a man. A heteromale is someone who has adopted the lingo of the Left. I refuse to use it.

BTW, I’ve long ago removed Bravo from my channel pre-select right along with CNN.

Some of you may ask, “How long can this go on?”

When that was first asked about what MTV started airing, I was optimistic that people would see it as detrimental to our culture and cease to watch it.

I am not optimistic about this trend and really regret what impact it will have on kids who are trying to figure out what the world is all about.

The question should be, “How bad it this going to get?”

cop with the really hot girlfriend

Indeed. Did you hear their commments about her? "I'm getting excited about [ them ] and I'm gay!"

[HamiltonJay]

Ain't no chilling out, sorry, 5 flaming gays you have never met run up to you and start tugging on your clothes and playing with your hair, and you wouldn't deck them? Please, no guy is going to just stand there in that situation.

[WKB]

Did anybody see
"Boy Meats Boy"
The New Dating Game also on Bravo?

[finnman69]

I have nothing against gay people, but I am telling you, only a wimp would not deck someone if 5 flaming guys who you have never met come running up to you and start pulling on your clothes and playing with your hair.

The guido NYC cop on the show last night who got turned into a Vin Diesel look alike certainly looks like he could kick major ass and certainly was no wimp.

Is there something we should know about you?

How about if you go to get a haircut, and a 'gay-looking' man starts messing with your hair? Do you deck him?
I think the people on the show know that these 5 are coming, they know they're not going to get gang raped, and it's intended to be all in fun. No punches are warranted.

[presidio9]

I have called my cable company to ask that they stop carrying Bravo. I have no interest in the programs or for paying for them.

[finnman69]

LOL

No. I just love the show and get pissed and homophobes who want to bash the show who,

A. Have never watched it.

and

B. Are all worked up into a paranoid knot about a makeover show leading to the decline of Western Civilization, when yesterday a bus full of children was bombed by true maniacs with a genocidal agenda.

Perhaps if it happened in a back alley, but I think you know what's going on when there's a film crew in your house. Its not as if this was suddenly sprung on someone without their consent.

[finnman69]

Trutfully the producer who got his back waxed and the cop standing in his skivies gettting tanner applied, truly showed a lot of balls to submit to that being filmed and showed on TV.

[pageonetoo]

I haven't seen the show... just had to make a smart remark??? I have no interest in their agenda... it is clear... they are perverts, trying to persuade normal people that they offer an alternative to reality! AIDS should have been allowed to work its way quickly, so the hetero community would have had few losses! Instead, the Dims and Pubs have spent billions to provide them with sustaining drugs, but no cures, and now we must support the results of their perversion with our tax dollars!

Please refer to people who hate homosexuals as "gay-bashers" or "misofags" or whatever. "Homophobic" means either "fearing sameness" or, colloqually, "fear man." I am afraid of neither men nor sameness. I am repulsed by gay sex, and I hate being constantly reminded of it.


I caught 5 mins of one show. My reaction was "and people find this interesting/entertaining?" But then, I felt the same way about "Big Brother."

[jayef]

I don't believe that the straight guy is converted. I've watched the show and found it pretty funny and harmless.

[HamiltonJay]

Exactly, and sorry, can't think of a non wimp who's going to be out there volunteering for a gay makeover. I've seen enough flaming gays in my day, don't need to tune into TV to see even more of them making asses out of themselves.

[philosofy123]

"Imagine if this Fab-5 stylish caper in ameliorated petty taste were focused on teaching people with dark skin how to act more like those with lighter skin. Or Jews to be more like Wasps. Or Hispanics more like Swedes. There would be outrage, and justifiably so. But male-baiting? Ha-ha, and right on."

I felt the same way too. I guess if guys do not defend themselves now, they will be so far behind that no one will even listen to them if they speak.
