Straight Eye for the Queer Guy

[TXlib]

Hypothetical TV show...

The real show, QEftSG, has guys who specialise in Fashion, Decorating, Culture, Food & Wine, and Grooming.

What would be the categories for SEftQG?

Sports, Belching & Farting, etc...

What kind of gay guys whould the Straight 5 intervene for? What would they do?

[SoCalDem]

1. Starting remodeling jobs in every room and......

NEVER FINISHING ANY OF THEM :(

[cherryperry]

3. well done, kudos (the candy bar, of course) to you! n/t

[Kathy in Cambridge]

8. LMAO-that is TOO True!

Don't forget leave tools around until they gather dust.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Oh, man, I hate to think of it.

Buncha wife-beater wearin' Pabst-swilling heteros offering makeovers into proper mullets, El Camino supercharging, and belt buckle polishing.

[TXlib]

4. Not all Hets are Pabst-swilling wife-beater wearers

I drink Chimay, Belhaven Wee Heavy, Old Peculier, etc, when I'm drinking beer.

I drive a Camry.

I have understated belt buckles.

I wear normal T-shirts.

I think mullets make anybody look like an asshole.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. No, the point being that those of who are somewhat

more normal, wouldn't be interesting on the show.

it would be those heteros who are decidely unstylistic that would be the only interesting candidates on the show. Perhaps. :-)

You'd never catch me in a mullet, wife-beater, or drinking a Pabst, either. Well, maybe a Pabst, if I'm in a WI bar and it';s either Pabst of Red White and Blue or Olympia.

11. That would be fun to watch

6. The guy who scratches his nuts, smells his fingers and cooks dinner.

[Kat45]

7. Hey, I think I went out with him!

(Note the past tense.) :D

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. Actually the Hetros could teach the gays some mechanical ability.

While gays may decorate their houses nicely most I know are afraid to get their hands dirty or calloused doing some real manual labor.

[Andy_Stephenson]

17. I am gay I am not a decorator...I leave that to termite

But by God I can fix my car if need be. Well...my old car...the one without all the electronics that hide the engine.

[GOPisEvil]

10. Straight guy styling products:

1. Pert Plus shampoo/conditioner
2. Ivory soap
3. Colgate shaving cream
4. Bic razor
5. Aqua Velva

:-)

12. Don't forget Aramis Cologne

eeech!

[ACK]

13. Come on play on stereotypes just like the real show

The stereotypical gay guy (not the real human beings mind you) are not supposed to be sports fiends, or car mechanics or woodworkers or well you get the idea.

You would have a panel of guys who would go to a walking talking stereotypical gay person (a guy who truly flames if you forgive the deragotory term) and teach them basics about sports, how to fix their car, how to make that cabinent for the closet etc...etc...etc.

If the gay person is a serious business type is a plus to be able to talk about sports in a social setting. It saves cash to be able to fix one's own car. It is nice to be able to do something stereotypical guy things. I know because I suck at all of them and I am straight. :-)

Considering the stereotypes played up in the real show this is not a huge stretch folks.

BTW, why bash on all hetero guys?

Some of these comments are truly offensive. Wife-beating? WTF? Those comments were just wrong.

The belching and farting stuff was to be expected. But really. All straight guys are beer-swilling, lazy, mullet-wearing, wife beaters? Ugh. Was that necessary?

[TXlib]

14. Read comment #5

Also, FYI, "wife-beater" refers to a style of sleeveless T-Shirt. Also called an "Archie Bunker", it just looks low-class, and evokes a cheap-beer-swilling troglodyte.

The point was made that unless you had guys who epitomized the antithesis of gays, it wouldn't be funny.

I don't think that level of hyperbole would be necessary; your vision doesn't seem too bad, except if every gay guy on it were like Jack from Will & Grace, it would be hammering home stereotypes.

[ACK]

15. Ooops and a reply

Sorry, never caught that and I have never heard of those sleeveless t's referred to in such a manner.

My bad.

I have a feeling that if this was ever attempted it would end up as an exercise in finding endless numbers of Jack type gay people to contrast against unfortunately.

However, it seems that the real show from what little I have seen really seems to slam home the hetero stereotypes.

In fact, it could either be an exercise in making fun of gays (which would of course be bad) or almost in a sense worse an exercise in showing gay guys how to pass in hetero company and not get spotted out as gay. Both scenes sound bad after a second thought-through.

Still, a gay guy's guide to getting past the sports conversations or a car clinic sounds absolutely funny if done right. Problem, is that now I think about it, it would not be done well. It would probably be a fox-fest mock moment.

16. SEFTQG...their task would be to "Butch Up"

a nellie queen. I would pay to see that!
