So why, if you belong to one of these professions, it is immediately assumed that you are gay: hair dresser, interior designer, florist, actor, fashion designer, dancer.

People assume, for instance, that if you’re a male ballet dancer you must be gay. Or a hair dresser, he must be a queen. Or a floral designer? Gay, Gay, Gay…Or a fashion or interior designer? Gay as they come.(heck, I wouldn’t hire an interior designer if he weren’t gay, they are just too good at what they do).

So why then, are certain professions classified as gay ones? This stereotype is simply not true. In reality, gays occupy… every walk of life.

I remember in a gay group therapy session I once attended, whenever anyone new joined the group, the therapist would go around the room and ask everyone to guess his profession. In one particular case, professions mentions were, he looks like a business owner, no an accountant, must be bass player in a rock band, a teacher, a politician, no an artist, no for sure he is a physical trainer. We were all so wrong!

As it turned out, he was a construction worker. Go figure…

I came across a list on the internet which claims to be the top 20 characteristics of a gay male, and of course, I could not wait to respond to each and every one of these characteristic stereotypes. So here it goes:

1. Gay men always want to be the center of the attention.

Maybe so,… But so do lots of straights!
