			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been friends with this guy for over three years now. We became friends very quickly and got along really well, we both like to drink until we just can&#8217;t anymore and sometimes, being completely drunk, he holds me very tightly, kissing me and saying that he loves me (which could mean he loves me as a friend). </p>
<p>He has dated girls during the time I&#8217;ve known him, but didn&#8217;t seem to very excited about it and didn&#8217;t spend much time with them (sometimes he&#8217;d leave them to come hang with his pals). Most of the people who meet him think he&#8217;s gay and even some of his closest friends have asked him if he is.</p>
<p>I like him and would like to have him as a boyfriend, but he doesn&#8217;t know I&#8217;m gay and I think that if he&#8217;s not, he&#8217;d probably stop talking to me for being gay. I get all weird now when I&#8217;m with him &#8217;cause I don&#8217;t know how to act and sometimes do stupid things like ignoring him at a party or telling him I don&#8217;t care for him anymore; the strange thing is that when I get crazy and do this things he plays along and responds to my crazy acting with stunts of his own (like leaving the party or stuff like that).</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve both done so much stupid things and have got in so many arguments that I don&#8217;t even know what to do next. He&#8217;s dating a girl and I&#8217;m treating him like he was just some guy I know, he hasn&#8217;t said anything but I know it upsets him. What should I do?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking at some of the answers I received for my question on the prevalence of &#8220;lipstick&#8221; lesbian characters over butch ones, I thought I&#8217;d pose this question as well.</p>
<p>Do you think the reason why most portrayals of gay men in Hollywood movies and TV as effeminate characters is because it&#8217;s safer and perhaps less &#8220;threatening&#8221; to straight audiences? I mean, there have been gay characters who are portrayed as masculine, but they often perpetuate the other stereotype of the handsome, GQ model type or all-American boy-next-door type.</p>
<p>Given that men who fall within the &#8220;bear&#8221; subculture are becoming more visible in western society, do you think this will change? While realistically not all bearish guys behave in a &#8220;butch&#8221; manner, I&#8217;ve known and befriended quite a few who actually do.</p>
<p>Anyone remember a sitcom starring actor John Goodman as a gay man that flopped miserably a few years back?<br />
For anyone who&#8217;s not familiar with the gay &#8220;bear&#8221; subculture:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I&#8217;m 20 and I&#8217;ve never had a boyfriend, which after a few investigations on here, I&#8217;ve come to believe is perfectly normal and nothing freakish at all. (ehem)<br />
   To be honest, I&#8217;m not &#8216;out&#8217; and I&#8217;d like to keep it that way as long as I can, and up until now I&#8217;ve avoided situations where I could potentially meet people I like, but I&#8217;m starting uni (again) in a few weeks, and I want to open my mind a little. What I want to know, is, how do you figure out if someone is gay? (I mean non-camp, straight-acting guys) and what are the signals that say &#8216;I like you&#8217;?  If I&#8217;ve seen someone I like, up until now, I&#8217;ve tended to avoid eye contact, drop what I&#8217;m doing and get away, only stopping to check them out when they are definitely unaware of me lol, but I aim to get over that. For example, today, I was going for a walk in a large park, there was nobody around for miles, and this guy suddenly comes jogging round the corner, looking at me. Still jogging, he stares at my childish converses, jogs past, then turns around to look at me as he&#8217;s jogging away. Just to clarify, I was wearing a pair of jeans and an abercrombie sweater at the time, so I was hardly anything out of the ordinary. Could the look he was giving me be a bit MORE than &#8216;oh look there&#8217;s a random guy walking, I haven&#8217;t jogged past anyone for a while&#8217;. How do you tell??? And how does anybody take any action on these daily encounters with people we&#8217;re attracted to? Any help for a megga-confused guy would be much appreciated <img src='http://www.confusedgay.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I mean you see these black rappers all the time wearing Burberry, Gucci, YSL, Fendi in music videos, and in real life and they brag about it and rap about all those brands and everyone thinks they&#8217;re &#8220;PIMP&#8221; or &#8220;GANGSTA&#8221;, but when an average white guy wears those brands, or even brings up fashion everyone assumes he must be gay.</p>
<p>For example:<br />
Nelly can name drop Gucci in a song like &#8220;Hot in Herre&#8221;, and wear a Gucci hat in a music video like &#8220;Dilemma&#8221; or a Gucci shirt with the words &#8220;GUCCI&#8221; in large print across his chest and no one will think twice. Or Jay-Z can rap about numerous luxury brands, and Ja Rule can wear Burberry shirts with the check pattern all over it with a Burberry hat and he&#8217;s cool.  </p>
<p>Basically black guys can be little pretty boys and everyone thinks he&#8217;s straight, but if you aren&#8217;t black, a rapper or G@NG$T@ then you&#8217;re automatically gay it seems. Any thoughts on this?</p>
