Beyond No Homo: Calling Shenanigans on "Gender-Bending" Reality Show

[102bb]

I'd be lying if I said that when I heard about a reality TV casting call asking "Do you bend gender roles? Do you go against the norm?" I truly believed a show was going to focus on folks who reject prescribed ideas of gender and sexuality. But just in case there was a show that wanted to feature, to make visible, people who go against the grain

oh my god, that's really insulting. i'm not opposed to having straight people on the show, but if that's all they have then that's a slap in the face to the whole lgbtq community.

Can we actually separate gender presentation and sexuality? Please?

UM, NO, ALL GAY GUYS ARE GIRLY AND ALL LESBIANS WEAR FLANNEL AND HAVE SHORT HAIR. DUH.

Yeah, no. It's like I'm back in my ultra conservative Christian high school. Oh, wait, I still am. God damn it.
