I routinely find myself searching on Netflix to watch movies at odd hours of the day. I came across a movie that discusses what it means to be a masculine homosexual male in today’s world this morning. It got me thinking about sexuality and how image can blur what we as humans feel is acceptable life paths. As a bi sexual woman I have to the ability to blend into the “straight” world so to speak. As a child I pushed away from thoughts of being gay because I did not have urges to be a masculine butch woman. Butch women were the only types that where out and proud in my hometown of Des Moines, Iowa as a child growing up. My mother was also a closeted woman until 5 years ago and struggled with many of the same feelings I had because she is very much a feminine woman. We both were not comfortable with the heterosexual mold that is set on relationships. At almost 24 it amazes me how much even though I live in a state and a capital that supports gay marriage, many people in Iowa live closeted lives. I often wonder what the fascination for straight acting gay males are in the gay culture. I came away from watching the movie knowing a little more of myself and my fellow human beings on this earth.
