 I am SO not an American Idol fan. I've probably seen a grand total of four episodes—ever. So maybe that gives me a good perspective when I randomly tuned in recently to find a strange boy-creature with squinty eyes in the finals with a stoned, balding otter who sometimes plays guitar. (By that, I mean David Archuleta and David Cook.) What a strange finale!
We already know who's gonna win. Even David Cook admits it. When Archuleta becomes the next American Idol (because you know he
will), I kinda want to see him become famous to see how far the cutesy
boy act will take him. After that eventually winds up, he'll either
turn into some kind of sexed-out Justin Timberlake wanna-be or a
Michael Jackson-esque recluse. I bet the latter. Cuz you know his favorite quote is: "You'll never be lonely if you learn to befriend yourself." Mmm-hmm.
The more important question is: Why do I find David Cook kinda sexy? It's been bugging me since last week's return to each contestant's hometown. He's mildly talented, seems kinda dumb, and totally milquetoast. But there's something really simple about the way he talks—he seems kinda humble and grounded. And that's kinda hot. Plus, you know the quiet ones are always knockouts in bed. Maybe he knows it.

Total sex.

This is the latest example from the gay "community" to further illustrate exactly why I am letting my subscription expire and that I do not consider myself part of that "community" at all. And by the way, the cover of the new issue of Instinct is another fine example - PINK enough for ya?? Geezus. Excuse me while I go vomit.
I think it's pathetic that any gay man could look at David Cook and not agree with "Alex" that he is "total sex," but yet you will never catch a member of the "community" saying anything negative about a female performer/contestant. If the finale had been Syesha and Brooke, you all would be screaming your gay asses off over how stunning, gorgeous, and sexy they are, and their outfits or shoes were to die for.
I have long considered myself the straightest gay man I know, and that annoying faggy BS is exactly why I am happy with that. You all should have been girls, or should become girls, because that's what you are.

Um... isn't the post about how David Cook is attractive?
Dave, there's a great magazine for gay guys who want to be straight - it's called "Maxim." Display it on your coffee table proudly!

Well...while Dave in Phoenix goes and pretends to be straight at a NASCAR rally Alex, here's David Cook's Guitar Hero commercial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h61egeG1-v4 It's a spin on Tom Cruise in Risky Business. BTW, I think it's his stubble that makes him strangely attractive.

It comes as no surprise that you don't understand me (hence why I will not renew my subscription.) I don't understand you either, so it's a draw.

Being gay - physically attracted to your own sex - does not require living a gay lifestyle. No gay magazine I've ever seen speaks to the type of gay man I am. I tried for 3 years to fit in and participate in the "community" via an empowerment program, but it was a constant uphill battle. I don't like the stereotypical stuff: drag, Britney, musicals, shopping, the color pink, clubbing, interior design, or Pride. Oh, and I don't want kids or marriage either.
I just like boys. Very simple. I don't understand why most gay men don't get that. I'm neither liberal nor conservative, I'm in the middle. I'm not a sports fan except for baseball. I grew up oppressed in Montana and did not fully realize my sexuality until I moved out of my parents house.
I am very proud of who I am. I think boys are fabulous and I wouldn't have it any other way. But the gay community is not for me.

Yeah, so anyway...i wouldn't mind putting pigtails in David Cook's hair and playing Easy Bake cookie twirl! Wheeeeeeeee!

Dave, like you I don't like the stereotypical stuff: drag, Britney, musicals, shopping, the color pink, clubbing, interior design, or Pride.
But very much unlike you, I don't believe in gay bashing. There's no need to attack others for not being more like you.
Comments like "PINK enough for ya?? Geezus. Excuse me while I go vomit.", "that annoying faggy BS is exactly why I am happy with that" say alot more about you than how straight acting you are.
If Instinct is not for you, then fine. Cancel your subscription and get a subscritpion to something that speaks more to you.
But enough with the hate already.
