Referring to someone as ‘looking gay’ in this day and age is more or less as damaging as the toxic 1990s slang ‘that’s gay’ (meaning bad).ģ) You do not speak for all ‘straight women,’ and by presuming to do so you implicitly challenge the sexual and gender identity of anyone who disagrees with you. Maltese men should stop embracing the GAY LOOK and just be NORMAL instead, because STRAIGHT WOMEN find this repulsive?ġ) There is no one ‘gay look.’ Even you appear to accept that you can’t tell someone’s sexuality from their appearance. Just look at the man with the gun, and the other one with the octopuses. Straight women find this kind of thing absolutely repellent, and something tells me that gay men do, too. Now a reader has alerted me to the latest development: the Wetlook Photoshoot for men, organised by something called ‘Glamorous Malta’ (which it really isn’t). Instead of going for the Don Draper look which has driven women wild right across the globe, they go for a look that’s a cross between a Middle Eastern spiv, the member of a boy band, and a gay man in his 20s in Manchester circa 1992. If only they could just be NORMAL – take a shower and a shave, get a good haircut, and wear some good clothes. This being Malta, we have a situation where most gay men look straight, and many straight men look gay because they’ve taken up grooming, waxing, eyebrow-plucking and the wrong clothes (then there is the other extreme, where Maltese men look like something you wouldn’t haul out of a skip in terms of grooming, and with a genetic package closely linked to Planet of the Apes). They’re enthusiastically embracing that whole gay look even when they’re not gay – and when gay men elsewhere in Europe are moving away from it.
