Okay, I hate to have a completely pointless, short, useless, and utterly unstructured rant, but here it is.
The Fab Five are gay. We all know that, and there’s no denying it.
So WHY must fans go around saying, “They’re so hot! If only they were straight!”?!
That is the single most irritating thing I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard it tossed around the fandom a lot. It is also the stupidest thing I’ve heard in quite a while. The freaking point is that they’re gay! Not only that, but they wouldn’t be who they are if they were straight.
And even if they were straight, they wouldn’t go out with you, so grow up and get a clue.
Wishing for gay men to be straight out loud, in public, for them and the world to see/hear, is completely offensive. It implies that they aren’t good enough, that they should be something other than what they are. Maybe they don’t care, but they should, so if they don’t, I’m offended on their behalf.
Being homosexual added to and helped shape their personalities. In wishing for them to be straight, you most likely wouldn’t just be changing a sexual preference; you would be changing their entire outlook on life, which in turn would change how they acted, and then they wouldn’t be the men you love, now would they?!
Also, in the case of the Fab Five, if they weren’t gay, they wouldn’t be on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and you’d never have known they existed in the first place. What good would them being straight do you then, huh? None, that’s what! You would just be missing out on five gorgeous, wonderful guys with great personalities and useful talents.
So think about exactly what you’re asking for, because you’re speaking out in opposition of the entire message of the show and the five guys that made it what it is, who you claim to adore.
