Stonewall Riots and Pride Marches

[PSDave]

One major difference between men and women is that women can look at another women in a bikini or topless and not really care. When a str8 man sees a man in a a speedo, thong etc, he is, for some reason, repulsed. I am sure we can go on endlessly why, but the fact remains, women accept other women in skimpy clothes (probably because it gives the something to talk about behind their backs) but men are not comfortable with other men that are in skimpy attire. Unfortunately, with gays so open in wearing skimpy speedos in public, it has put a stigma on speedos that anyone wearing them must be gay. When movies and TV generally use a speedo as a part of a gay characters wardrobe and with gay pride and its legions of speedo wearing marchers, it is easy to see how the generalization can be made. With str8 men not really comfortable around guys in speedos they, of course, won't find them appealing as part of their regular swim attire.
