As I was watching Noah's Arc with my very closed-minded mother,(who turned her head on the love scenes LoL.) some questions came to mind. Why do women get along with gay men so well...and more importantly why are we so "interested" with their lives. The interest in shows like "queer as folk" and now "noah's arc" has grown with heterosexual women. Also books by gay authors such as E lynn harris probably have more straight readers, than gay ones.
A gay man, commented on my blog as said that women and gay men have a kinderness have to live in a straight man's society...we can relate to each other.
My response to him : Does it offend you that by being gay in America these days, especially in our community, is almost considered a novelity of sources. My mother doesn't not read books about gay men because she respects the lifestyle, or is "down" with the struggle...but, because she is entertained. Does that bother you?
