Owen Jones: Homophobia

Our Owen in The Guardian.

There's barely a sentence here that could not be answered with; 'You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you love?'

I could go through them one-by-one, but let's pause for a moment and ponder Mr Jones' premiss that gay men have a problem with camp.

Okay.

And relax...

Or maybe it's you, dear.

He concludes...

It is much harder – but still necessary – to recognise the homophobia that dwells within the ranks of gay men themselves.

Like in this othering article about all those dreadful gays, dolly?

Maybe we're all too busy sexually assaulting each other at chemsex parties to care.

Or maybe all bisexuals are secretly homophobes 'according to recent made-up research'.

The distance between some gay commentators and ordinary gay men is a gaping chasm.

WE IZ OURS OWN WURST ENEMEEZ!!!

PS Owen Jones once wrote a book with the title 'Chavs. The Demonisation Of The Working Class'. Can any regular viewers see any contradiction here? You know, about the demonisation of gay men and that.

Update: Our Owen's response...
It seems to be quite a big club... x

  3. Hang on, isn't this anti-camp conformity thing something that you have talked about in the past? I'm guessing you just want to have a bitch at this point.

  4. "I could go through them one-by-one"

    Nah. Sadly. Frustratingly. Maddeningly.

  5. There's barely a sentence in Jones' article that hasn't been trotted out thousands of times before. So dreary.

    If guys who like penis want to write articles on the subject, at least write something original and interesting. And can we stop criticising each other and lecturing everyone on how to do gay right? Why not attack the broadcasters for their constant failure to portray LGBT as they actually are? Or schools for their dire sex education?

    2. Do you have personal knowledge of his preferences so you can confirm that he likes it up the bum? Shurely we should be told.
