Fabulous gay

I've been dating again after many, many years single and something has come to my attention. Gay men dress much less fabulous than they used to. And I'm not sure why I care. Okay, that's a lie. I do know why I care.

Please humor me as I peel away my neurosis like a large, plump, juicy organic banana that you can get at Whole Foods for the low, low price of $ each. It's harvested by Guatemalan children, so that makes it okay.

Recently, I posted on a social media platform that I was frustrated with my dating life via OKCupid, because some of the gay men I'm meeting dress like they're shopping at Noun on a Sunday. It was a joke, saying that dressing fabulous for gay men seems more rare than ever before, but it was also a passive-aggressive dig at the peek some gay guys have now. The whole sweats and baseball caps and frumpy T-shirts and sneaks. You know, looking enjoy they're shopping at Target on a Sunday.

Fabulous. That word is slung around so easily, and has saturated the culture. But it also can telegraph specific social and political values, particularly when it appears in queer culture. It&#;s this unique valence that madison moore, a culture criti

There’s a plethora of home redecorating and makeover shows on television in the United States, and the number is increasing almost exponentially.

One thing these shows contain in common; the majority of the redecorating and makeover specialists are gay men … very flamboyant gay men, who utilize the word “fabulous” a lot to describe a space, a style, an attribute, or what they’re going to do with a living room or someone’s wardrobe.

Why the attachment to the word “fabulous?” How did it become a cliche among gay men? Is there a similar chiche stereotypically uttered by lesbians?

I’ve been watching those home improvement shows on HGTV, and I was thinking the opposite: that when casting men on these shows, the network seems to be consciously avoiding men who look stereotypically gay. Ditto with male chefs on television.
