I am gay, you have taken what I said out of context. Many people want to see 2 guys kiss, but society as a whole does not find it acceptable, and most men and women shun it publicly as opposed to two women kissing which is a more acceptable form if intended as "entertainment"
Whatev' spammer, that's not what you said when you defended PETA's sexism/homophobia. Full sentence: "The fact is sex sells, nobody wants to see 2 guys making out, PETA is utilizing the age old marketing that works."
i'm a woman, and i enjoy it when men kiss. i think most women do, but are afraid to admit it, sadly. this just further illustrates how lesbians are only seen as objects for the heterosexual male gaze, but it is somehow disgusting when it's reversed. which is bullshit. everyone should kiss!
Yeah FG, I'm a queer guy and I love it when guys kiss! I also know there are a ton of women who enjoy watching guys kiss; I used to read a lot of yaoi/slash manga and fanfiction (still read the fanfics) and most of the readers/creators were women and girls.

This isn't because lesbians are more acceptable than gay men (or that bi women are more acceptable than bi men), but rather because women's sexuality is treated as a commodity to be bought and sold for men's consumption.
Stop making excuses for institutional sexism and homophobia.
Um how is that spamming, there are many people who defend PETA who are not sexist, racist, homophobic. But thanks for being rude, I don't know why I linked to you or have you on my reader, but no worries, peace.

Yes, because when PETA's being racist, homophobic, transphobic, and misogynist, the absolute worst thing anyone can do when calling that out or criticizing PETA's defenders is "be rude."
Sorry, but as a lesbian I am sick unto the plague of seeing het male society use titillating images of women kissing as if that is any kind of representation of who and what lesbians are. And I am sick unto the plague of men who insist upon defending the exploitation of women's sexuality as being "value neutral" because it's acceptable to men.
Or defining men's kinks as socially normative and women's kinks as socially unacceptable.
And as for people who defender PETA who aren't racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic? Bullshit. If you're defending the racism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia, then you are engaging in a racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic action. I don't give a damn how pure you think your motives are - you're defending scummy, bigoted tactics. Get over it and own up, or get used to being called out on it every time you troll Womanist Musings or LJ comms or what the fuck ever place you've chosen to defend those PETA bastards this week.
Yeh, I just finished my presentation on slash (you know, slash? as in a shit ton of women as well as gay men find it hot? are we all chopped vegan "liver?")
QU, y'know, I'm often plenty rude and I don't have time for PETA. Like, at all. So, heads up, while you're at it, you might want to take me off as well.
Belle, there are two guys in fishnet... the first is Gaara (who usually wears other shirts over the fishnet...) and the second is Shikamaru; both are from Naruto (meh anime/manga, but there are some fabulous fanfics and fanart--way better than the actual manga). Though Shikamaru/Chouji is cute, Lee/Gaara is my favorite pairing. ^_^
I'm an asexual cis woman, and I like seeing men kiss. I like seeing anyone kiss. But for me, there has to be some sense of relationship between them rather than just two people kissing for the benefit of the audience.
All these pics are hawt--though I gotta give props to the Capt. Jack Sparrow/Will Turner pairing. And also the two guys who appear to be wearing one scarf. And also the human/cat-person.
Could someone take queers united's name away from him? He embodies the oppressive shit that divides the community so perfectly.....
So the smackdown makes me happy. Also pretty pictures!
...they're all very pretty...I especially like this one--but without context the one on top looks more like a girl to me. Is that just androgynous anime for the win? Fucking hot regardless.
It's funny that US porn made for gay men has *never* done anything for me, but anime & slash & Buffy... is it hot in here?
My title is from Little Light's most excellent poem/essay, The Seam of Skin and Scales. The expandable post hack was done by the good folks at Hackosphere.

WORD to your comment Lisa.

You're a spammer from how you acted in all the lgbt LJ comms; you know, how you x-posted everywhere until they banned you?
Oh n0ez! You're taking me off your reader? My heart, it is broken in two! /snark
*goes back to oggling pretty guys*

This much QU smackdown in one thread makes me happy. Also the pretty guys.
I like the one with the fishnet tee.

nice, but you left out Jack/Ianto!
I lulled at the pirates pants peeking pic. Also what everyone else has said to QU.
