Two and a half years ago one of the first videos I made was speaking about being a so-called "Straight-acting gay guy". The main reason I made my channel was to connect with others who felt the same as me. I wanted people to have someone they could relate to and that to have someone to watch that was thinking and feeling some of the same thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

A few years ago some of the most popular gay youtubers where williamsled and chriscrocker. Many gay men cannot relate to these individuals. I am very happy that over the past few years the representation of gay people on Youtube has vastly broadened and there are a variety of different types of gay people that gay people can relate to.

Straight Acting is still a widely-used term, but I think it will begin to die out over the next couple of decades.

  • I think it is stereotypical to have a gay guy constantly talking about how he's just a "dude" and he's "regular."

  • @1bwash You're right, a fair number of guys do this.

  • I was always looking for people that I could identify with, it's natural. And that included looking for people to subscribe to on YouTube (I subbed to you so I guess I felt I could identify in some way with you!) It's so nice nowadays as inceasingly the gay community seems to be increasingly diverse as more people have the confidence to come out. I hope it continues

    Also, I haven't heard the term 'straightacting' this side of the pond in ages. It might have already gone extinct in these parts!

  • I disagree with the title of this video! I think you need to re-word it! A guy whose not sterotypically gay isnt a straight acting gay guy. Hes gay, not straight. Also know body likes somebody that "acts" all the time. I know thats not what you mean but the wording is misleading :) Im not the sterotypically gay guy but im definetly not straight acting!

  • @123moscowman I'm biased of course, but I think the title fits very well. My two points in this video are that the term is still frequently used but I think eventually it will die out. If one browses around Youtube these days one is can find a pretty wide variety of gay people blogging on Youtube. A few years ago the variety and number of people wasn't as great. To me this is evidence of a changing society and this change in society will lead to the death of the term straight-acting.

  • "Straight acting" sounds like "closeted"

    Masculine is more proper.

  • People ought to be themselves, nothing more, nothing less...

  • Appreciate the video. I don't fit any stereotypes of gay men, and makes me feel left out a lot. So glad to watch your videos and realize I'm not alone. Thanks.

  • I myself find it hard to find anything in common with alot of other gay men

  • Great video. I'm more on the masculine side, so it was extremely difficult for me to come out. I actually just made a vidya about it.

  • Batty bwoi.

  • I see a lot of people getting upset over the term "straight acting".  Look, you know what the person means. Sure, "masculine" would be a better term, but you know what he means.

  • why cant you identify with straight blokes sporty types i love john inman and quinten crisp

  • @Rfritz09 Amen

  • I love straight acting men!

  • "straight acting", "masculine"....lolz
