To be able to express one's self in an articulate spontaneous manner (in art, drawing, imagination) both subjectively and objectively, one needs to be as gay as a dollar bill and as Tim cook combined.
When it comes down to racking my psyche, I'm gay just a little bit. But beyond that I consider myself as straight as the word itself.
As eccentric and bizarre as it may sound, it's certainly far from being a grotesque distortion of reality.

Interesting....how is art “gay?”
If it’s an extension of how you express yourself why does it have a sexuality? And when you say “gay” lesbian or homosexual?

This Guy doesn't know what he is saying

@ bold
I can only speculate.
But quite a few studies show gay men are more artistic, vain, and beauty-oriented, taking Gianni Versace and literally scores of HOMOSEXUAL men who excel in the fashion industry.
The Rainbow LGBT banner reflects the homosexual men, so to produce results similar to these, one must put on a prerentious charade and become a gay poser internally.
This thread focus on the queer men.

You are probably gay if you think about it.

Who are you trying to convince, hmmn I mean confuse.

I'm wondering what "gay arts" and "straight arts" mean. what do you also mean my "gay psyche" ?

This is how I look at it
The Arts especially where Fashion is concerned , Music and Theater/Silverscreen were historically the only places were gay men could flourish without discrimination from mainstream society. Gianni was never openly gay very few designers are . They live notoriously private lives. The world of Art in its many forms has always been liberal and fluid when it comes to sexuality look at the The Renaissance period from an art perspective, art shifted from being about saints and heavenly beings to reflect nudity, erotic themes and there was less restriction when it came to subject matters being painted. Artists had more artistic licence. Fashion and music are like that. You are free and accepted.

Male Actors historically used to play both male and females roles, women did not act. It was considered uncouth. Why there are more male gay designers though? It’s not a testosterone driven field, it’s about finesse, delicateness and expression of the sublime. robably, because their sex drive doesn’t stand in the way as it would in an all male heterosexual world were competition is based on who has the biggest d**k rather than who can articulate a described vision onto fabric. They legitimely care about “style” and “grace” and “elegance”, and they know the rules of the intra-sexual competition among females. They understand why it is such a defeat to wear the wrong handbag, the wrong skirt. These things matter to women believe me.
Now I am not saying straight men don’t make the best designers but all my favourite designers are gay.

You have confused a few gentlefolk with your post. But I did get what it is you meant.

Art is the expression of oneself in a creative ways. Therefore, you are expressing your gay nature in a creative way. NB. I did not call you gay, I only implied that

MissRaine69:

yeah. I'm actually really far from being homophobic, I've embraced the gay man and try to think the same way he does, and understand the incentives behind his action (especially in design and flashy stuff). They may not be degenerates and depraved entites after all considering their immense contributions to the world, from Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel, Michael Kors, Yves Laurent, Jean paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, Thierry Mugler, Alexandra McQueen.
Queerness is high fashion and vice versa.
Au contraire, women should in fact be less homophobic because literally everything they dress in is queer owned. Except a few like Tommy Hilfiger

I like the word you used "art" that's more like it, I had a friend in the university that's just like you, he's straight but can only express himself in a gay ish way

absolutely!
But the number of HOMOSEXUAL men in the fashion and design industry undoubtedly exceeds the straight men, they're quite living up to the common conservative cliché that the fashion industry embraces homosexuality and then helps to hide it.
As Gianni Versace would say "It's all about you in the dress, I'm not important, my goal is to make you look beautiful", fashion has always been a safe haven for gay men bcuz they're obsessed and fixated on things like this (excluding maybe Nigeria where everyone never follows their passion ). Gay men covet youth, vanity and lust, even the ones with no interest in fashion still have an enormous grandiloquent and ostentatious sense of style. It may be stereotypical assuming all men in the fashion industry are gay, but majority are even if they deny it.

They don’t deny it as there is an abundance in regards freedom of expression and room to express it. No one gets judged.
However being camp does not mean you are gay.
In Victorian England being debonair, attending to your physical and personal appearance was the norm. When did being flashy or ostentatious equate to being?
That is indeed a stereotype.....
You can be be very camp and be hetrosexual .

yeah, terribly true. Thanks for indulging me in this conversation, one hardly finds rational nigerians to discuss subjects like this together given that everyone is acting oblivious and walking around in a state of denial when it comes to homosexuality topics. I'm indeed pleased and terribly flattered.

In Victorian England being debonair, attending to your physical and personal appearance was the norm. Men wore make up and in the West wearing of wigs,makeup & lipstick was indiscriminate, especially amongst the aristocrats look at European history from the late to early 16th century onwards When did being flashy or ostentatious equate to being gay?
That is indeed a stereotype.....

In many African societies male adornments and attending to your hair and general appearance is part and parcel of who you are it’s not about your sexuality.
Read about the Wodaabe and their Gerewol festival.

I've said my own.

@OP,
Live your life bro, and by all means explore all the straight and gay themes you desire to. You don't owe anybody an explanation. I'm not really an art enthusiast, but I recently saw a picture of the "Ikot woman of war" statue in front of the Women's War Museum, Ikot Abasi - she is shown breaking a British colonial soldier's gun across her knee with her bare hands - and i couldn't help appreciating how perfectly shaped her breasts were! Oh, and did I mention it was just the perfect size of n!pples? Artists certainly get away with lots of things, cos nowhere else will a nude woman be openly gawked at and applauded.
