Oh WHATEVER. Any hockey mom will tell her you straight son costs WAY more. Raising a jock should come with insurance before his overpaid football contract gets signed.
@Sei1863 what if its a gay jock....trust me those kinds want to do every sport under sun and not to mention are over achievers. At least with straight boys they take time off to spend with their girlfriends. The gay jocks just bring their boyfriends along with them wherever there some sport related activity. its like there's no stopping the testosterone T_T.
Cute commercial. I know this is a spoof, but what's up with the gays having to marginilize themselves in stereotypes? I know it's just for fun, but that just irks me sometimes.
@bobbyalx Actually, I do have gay friends, but they're not all into Madonna and ice skating, etc. I have no problem with anyone who likes the things in the video, but as most people hopefully know, being gay means that you love men/women, not necessarily that you like Lady GaGa or "bedazzlers", if you get what I'm saying. Again, I know that the video was a parody, so I'm taking it way too seriously.
Just as many LGBT people are "regular" by your standards, the stereotypes only exist because you project them onto LGBT people when it is just as common in "straight" culture. The stereotypes exist because they stick out so people use them to generalize. LGBT people simply joke about those stereotypes when they "fit" them. Your claim of LGBT people having to marginalize themselves in stereotypes only shows existing social stigma and your underlying stigma you hold.
@beachman214 Reading over my original comment, I realize that I did come off more ignorant and dismissive than I had intended (specifically, when I mentioned "the gays" in a detached generalization). I appreciate everyone's varying interests, and if I made it sound like I have a negative view of people who like Lady GaGa, figure skating, etc., I don't. Hell, *I* like Lady GaGa.
@beachman214: What bothers me is that while this commercial may have been tongue-in-cheek in terms of the gay community's view of it, the satire would go over most of the rest of society's heads. It's not just this commercial, but things like "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and "Project Runway" who box gay men in a certain type and skew society's perspective of gay men in everyday life. Not to mention that it provides a stereotype that some gay men feel the need to portray in order to "fit in."
@krakenbwool04 The thing is no gay guy feels obligated to fit into a gay stereotype. I myself am a gay guy and the only thing being gay has taught me is to be myself no matter how people interpret it. LGBT people joke and disregard the stereotype and simply treat it as "so what if a gay guy is like this, it is good" if we allow the stereotype to be looked on as negative then we are condoning intolerance. The fact that you view the stereotype as negative shows an underlying intolerance.
@krakenbwool04 People are the way they are, the stereotype is an invention of society, we as a community do not let it get used as a negative thing. We say more power to the gay man willing to express and be himself no matter how "stereotypical" or "feminine" it is, because in the end they are just being themselves. I'd bet there are just as many str8 people who would do "gay" things but are afraid to because of the social stigma, it is the root of homophobia and proof of societal intolerance.
OMG! I almost peed myself this is sooooooo funny!!!

@Sei1863 Should the hockey mom demand her prodigy pay her back or could she get residuals from the insurance company before he goes off to college?
And BTW, I get the joke. :D
