Defeating Stereotypes of Gay/Bi Men

Igor writes "I stumbled upon a great website lately: www.StraightActing.com provides a community for many homosexual/bisexual men who feel rejected by the Gay Pride Movement. Many of these men feel that society pressures them into the "limp wrist" definition of homosexuality. A great deal of them avoid the gay scene entirely just because they are sick of being stereotyped as effeminate. The general consensus on the forums is that the "gay community" is just as bad as the "straight community" when it comes to accepting these men. This is a great website for homosexual/bisexual men (even heterosexual men too) who want to feel masculine while still accepting their sexuality. Society has accepted "lipstick lesbians" (lesbians who act like heterosexual women). When will society accept masculine gay/bi men?"
