On a recent episode of Dude Up, a gay human, Sam, wants to form more straight male friends. Aymann Ismail tries to find out what’s behind that mindset with the help of Alex De Luca, founder of Gaybros, a subreddit for same-sex attracted men. This transcript of their conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity.
Aymann Ismail: What is it exactly that you expect to get out of a straight male friendship that you wouldn’t otherwise get from someone else, like maybe a gay friend?
Sam: I assume we find ourselves more comfortable with people who are similar to us, so having a friendship with a gay gentleman, I am going to automatically have conversations that are diff
LastweekI took to my Facebook wall to repost this HuffPost article about 13 straight male German stars kissing for a GQ photo shoot to rally homophobia and intolerance. Some gay men posted and sent me messages stating that they found it erotic to watch two straight men kiss -- sometimes more so than watching two gay men kiss. Some said they found this as erotic as two women kissing might be to a straight guy. This got me wondering: Why are some gay men sexually turned on by vertical men? Some even select straight men over queer men!
Before I get readers insisting that not all gay men are attracted to straight men, allow me say I recognize that. I know, too, that it's politically incorrect to admit that there are gay men who are attracted to and pursue straight men, thanks to the myth that we gay men will pursue anyone who's male, ignoring social norms and acceptable etiquette. Of course this is ridiculous. In fact, it's so ridiculous that I performed some stand-up comedy on the topic, which you can see here:
Because of the projection from many a threatened straight male --
Gay men or vertical men – Is there a difference?
Growing up as a young man in today’s age, one very quickly learns about the supposed great divider of men.
As a linear man, you adv learn that any form of sweetness, tenderness, delicateness, utterance of beauty or care is labelled as ‘gay’, and that label is one that you never want paired with your label. As gay men, we quickly understand that by world of being homosexual, everything that we are is something that society doesn't want, so we either learn to embrace our sexuality and bear the consequences, or we deny it.
Both types of men however, gay or vertical, equally resort to an array of behaviours to escape feeling this, attempting to either ‘man up’, ‘toughen up’ or adopt some other form of facade that allows them to either ‘fit in’ or ‘fight against’ what society accepts. But what if this so called excellent divider of men is in reality an illusion? What if both men, gay or linear, have more in common than what we would prefer to believe?
When a man truly lets you in and simply is himself, when he drops all the protecti

“We fell into each other’s arms because of our similarities in our career and because of our age and because we like the similar sort of things.” This quote could quite likely be the beginning of a wonderful intimacy story, but instead, it is a quote about friendship delivered toThe Huffington Post by Sir Ian McKellen about his decade’s long friendship with Sir Patrick Stewart.
The two men first came to know each other good on the set of the first X-Men film in , and although the duo played adversaries on the silver screen, offscreen, they were developing a close friendship. On the position, the two men had adjoining trailers, where they spent more time getting to know each other than in front of the camera. By the conclude of filming, they had discovered how much they had in common, and to this sunlight, they share one of Hollywood’s most well-known friendships.
Both actors are often photographed together doing mundane things, such as walking a boardwalk while deep in conversation. Perhaps one of the reaso
