Torchwatch, the gay community have every right to express themselves in whatever attire they feel gets their message across. Regardless of their actions I will never refrain from wearing swim briefs how and when I choose. I’ve accepted them for who they are and am perfectly comfortable wearing what I want despite the long lasting stereotypes of conservative America. I am one of many from communities across the country similar to mine who feel my hometown rearings and religious education have proven outdated and, quite frankly, wrong.
If I’m not mistaken, and it’s possible I am, this forum was created to promote the wearing of swim briefs for all men despite sexual orientation. To really break the ice and make a proactive attempt to persuade the anti-swim brief community speedos can and are acceptable to be worn by them, is it not appropriate to discuss the the root of their reasoning for resisting?
I understand the frustration and internal yearning to be accepted by society when you are struggling with self happiness while society points their noses up at your lifestyle decisions. I understand the rejection and depression a person would feel just to be considered normal. Therefore, I do understand the ‘over the top’ and ‘let’s shove it down your face’ mentality of the gay community taking to the streets using speedos as a strong visual reference. I get it. But, regardless of whether it was a smart choice or not, the fact that the gay community caused irreparable damage to straight men and their perception of swim briefs cannot be denied. I overcome this problem by self confidence and a bit of a rebellious attitude. Others, however will never reach that point as I have or be convinced otherwise due to the stereotypical images from the gay community.
