Like most places in the world, there are a lot of homosexuals here. A lot!!! Doesn't matter much to me as long as they don't bother my husband. However, there is a little someone that works a kiosk in the mall who likes to make googly eyes at Dwayne. Needless to say, he is not impressed or flattered or entertained by that at all.
But, one thing that is not common here is the down low concept. The gay men here are gay and proud of it. You don't really find many manly looking men with a gay guy either. You see two feminine dudes together. They don't have the problem of women married to men who are sleeping with other men. Why? Because being gay is not stigmatized here. People won't look down on you or ostracize you because of it.
So, you see a lot of men with gorgeous hair, flawlessly made up skin, perfectly fit bodies proudly walking around. Sometimes, you can't tell if they are a man because they're just so....well....beautiful.
I rather prefer it this way. At least women don't have to wonder if the man they're interested in likes women. You can tell by looking at them. The stigma is in men who look like men but are gay. That's uncommon and seriously looked down upon.
Here's an example of an openly gay men. Now, he is not cute at all so don't expect that. He was just interesting. I took my kids to see the Alvin and the Chipmunks show and he sat next to us. He kept fixing his makeup throughout the show. This picture is of him in line waiting to take a pic with the cast. No, he didn't have any kids with him. And, he was dancing along and everything. Enjoying himself immensely with no shame.
Of course I had to include a picture of my kids too. This is them with the nanny and cast of the show.
