Sometimes I think TV just gets it wrong
We all know about the success of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. It doesn't take much analysis to realize that there's a stereotype the show is playing upon, and that's the belief that gay men are generally more fashionable than straight men. It may even be true. Most of my gay male friends in the past tended to be much more fashionable than me. Then again, prisoners on death row are usually more fashionable than me, but that's another issue.

Anyway, there's a new hybrid of that show coming out (or is out) which is essentially something along the lines of a Queer Lesbian Eyes for the Straight Girl, or whatever it's called. Now, this is about where I draw the line. I've known MANY gay women in my time. You might even say that before coming to Kalamazoo, most of my friends were lesbians; I don't know why...they just tended to get along with me.

But the important point IS: gay women don't usually have the stereotype of dressing better than straight women. Not by a long shot. In my opinion, it just seems like a strange concept to try to sell as they're not even going off the correct stereotype.

Stumble It!
