No it doesn't. It projects and perpetuates a stereotype of flamboyance on gay men.

 

No it doesn't. It only shows men who are obviously of the flamboyent variety. In no way does it project that on all gay men, just those. It does say that they are member of the Cowboys, which is demeaning no matter who you are.

It takes the situation of one man - Michael Sam - and projects a flamboyant personality onto him. That is obvious.

Do we know that he isn't flamboyant? ESPN didn't keep a camera crew around him for 4 days during the draft because of his football skills.

 

 

Have we seen him parading around with a skirt on and his shirt off as the men are depicted in the photo? No, we haven't. Do we know that he isn't "flamboyant" outside of what we've seen on television? No, we don't. And that's part of the point. The image projects a stereotype that, even though we don't know about Michael Sam, he is a gay man and all gay men must be flamboyant, therefore we must depict him this way. And then we should all have a good laugh about it. What the fug is that?

 

And for the sake of argument, let's assume that he is a flamboyant gay man. Does that make it acceptable to ridicule him? On what fuging planet do you people live? I can't believe that so many people are defending a picture that so obviously ridicules a man for being homosexual. I haven't been to rural North Carolina in a long time. I guess it's easy to forget how prevalent intolerance still is in some parts of the country.

 

See that...I don't have all the information about who you are or where you live, yet I just projected a stereotype onto all rural North Carolinians that isn't accurate. Pretty fuging ignorant, huh?

 

Apologies to everyone else for turning the post a pic thread into the tinderbox momentarily...here's a pic.
