Mustache homophobia
What is up with people equating mustaches with homosexuality?
Of all the bizarre things....why do homophones have an ever increasing list of things that cannot be used, bought, or associated with. Mazda Rx3? Gay. Ipod? Gay. Mustache? Gay. The mustache is really the new beard/goatee. What was a symbol of rebellion (beard) in the 60s and 70s, is now boringly common. What was considered tasteful and classy (mustache) in years prior is now a scandalous thing. Society is so strange. |

I hate myself just a little for contribution to another mention of the stache, but really, think of Napeoleon Dynamite, for example. Would Kip have been the same without the moustache?
It's a Village People concept and a largely a false stereotype. I have to say MANY of the gay men I know acutally have goatees. My brother does, as does his partner. They went on a cruise with some gay friends, and we were laughing for a while looking at the photos of all these men with goatees. |
