I found out Michael Crafter of I Killed The Prom Queen/alottaotherbands was gay today, and my opinion of the man changed. Everything I had heard about him until now has been very negative, that he is a very controlling, cocky, self-involved prick. But to keep his homosexuality a secret for so long in a scene that can be very homophobic, or at least extremely masculine, has raised my respect for him. Then to have the confidence to come out, I commend him.
But off my high horse I come now, because I'm just some kid in the scene who doesn't know shit, really, but I do know how uncomfortable I feel some times when surrounded by a large group of men who appear strongly set in the jock mentality, and to be in a the limelight like him must be very difficult. This brings me to my next point, very selfish and self centred it is, but honestly I find it rather frustrating that any guy that I may desire to date, or kiss, or whatever, will be virtually garunteed to be straight. I don't know how I'd find a guy that is "my type" when my type is generally more-or-less a generic hardcore concert going male, and they are, for the vast vast vast majority, straight.
Then again, I don't think Travis would be much too pleased if I started dating some guy and hanging off him at hardcore concerts... then again, I don't think I'd be hanging off a guy at a hardcore concert anyway, considering how self-concious I am, and how... scared I am of getting any sort of slander thrown at me for my sexual orientation.
I dunno, I'm just not keen on girls at the current. Plus most of the girls at hardcore concerts just seem to be ho's only interested in the guys. Damn then.
