On Gay Male Privilege

Thank you so much. Finally some has written about what I’ve seen so long and hate about the gay community. Feministic queer guys, like yourself, are very much needed in this culture. So glad your voice is heard.

I’m a writer and in my books I try to represent true equality between genders and sexual minorities. I let characters realise that homophobia, including internalized one, is just a product of misogyny. Hating on people because they’re feminine is the same thing as seeing women as lesser (than men). I try to build role models that are happy with themselves without putting anyone else down, role models that are whole persons and has more to them than their queerness.

The more voices that are heard the better. May we never be silent and always speak up when people are treated lesser, not matter by whom.

Let’s hope the next generation will realize, as yourself, that there’s more to the world than stereotypes, and that we all can be happy with and proud of the personality we actually are.
