Gay Men Are As Nice As Straight Guys Should Be
When Sarah got a compliment from a gay register clerk, she felt happy. And immediately concluded that “gay men are so nice.” Well. She’s wrong. And so is her boyfriend who agree with her. “Yeah, they’re as nice as straight guys should be.” What is it with you people. Gay men are NOT nice.
Few of them are nice all the time. Most of them are nice sometimes. Like the rest of the earth’s population. Saying that gay men are nice is like saying that white men can’t dance and that women’s place is at home.
Now I have to ask myself why I get so worked up about this…
- Tom, why do you get so worked up about a woman calling gay men nice?
- Well, Tom, it’s because I’m so homophobic that I think anything gay can ruin my masculinity.
No. Of course not.
I just hate it when people generalize about other people.

I bought some bubble bath at Bath and Body Works today. While I was checking out at the register, the clerk, who was obviously gay, said, “I like your earrings!” I wore silver earrings that look like angel wings. I said, “Thanks!”
On our way out, I told Jeremy, “You know, I’m really starting to warm up to gay men. They’re so nice!”
To which he said, “Yeah, they’re as nice as straight guys should be.”
The guy never fails to say things that stop me in my tracks…
