post-gay

the notion that h-m-s-xuals should be able to define their ident-ties by something other than s-xual preference.

post-gay types ought to be comfortable in gay ghetto situations, lest they suffer some sort of internalized h-m-phobia, while realizing that many ghettoized gays are tasteless loosers.

post-gays are out of the closet and care about gay rights and gay issues. their stance on ident-ty and culture is a reaction against the fetishization of gay stereotypes by some self-proclaimed liberal types (such as f-ghags) as well as cultural sepratists (such as queers). they tend to refer to themselves as ‘gay’ and only invoke the word ‘post-gay’ in the presense of the tasteless losers who have co-opted the falsehood of a monolithic gay culture.

post-gays also realize the history of the struggle for gay equality and know they their att-tude can only exist in enviornments where gays are already integrated and accepted. it is only within these enviornments that they critique others.
