Exactly... I agree with what you were all saying.
I've always agreed with the expression, "It takes a real man to wear pink, tight pants, makeup, etc." We live in this society with cookie cut gender roles. We've only recently started to bend those gender roles. This whole "guys who wear makeup are gay" thing, really pisses me off!
Whenever I wear my Cinderella shirt, I usually get some morons that go up to me and say, "Are the guys on your shirt fags?! They look just like chicks! That must be why they're called Cinderella! They should be sued for copyright infringement!" And isn't that just the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard?!
People these days just don't seem to understand glam. It does NOT necessarily mean a guy is gay if he chooses to dress fashionably, do his hair nicely, and wear makeup. I mean, WHY SHOULDN'T guys do that? Us girls spend hours making ourselves up. It's not fair that some guys don't care at ALL about their appearance, yet they expect to get these really hot doller up chicks? YEAH RIGHT... that's why I prefer glam guys. My boyfriend gets highlights in his hair, has a REALLY great sense of style, and he wears almost as much makeup as me. (But not quite...hehe.) It's nice to have a guy that actually cares about his appearance instead of these cocky slobs that just wake up and go out looking like hobos. Also, what girl wouldn't want a guy that she could do her makeup and go shopping with?! It doesn't automatically make him gay...
Personally, I think all these "macho" dudes out there... the football players and whatnot, are secretly really insecure. Notice how they get SO offended when someone calls them gay... and they throw around the word "fag" all the time. I think real, strong men aren't afraid to put on a pair of skin tight pants, colorful clothing, makeup, have long hair, etc. Because I have a lot of glam guy friends and when people call them gay, they're just like "Haha yeah ok... whatever... fuck off." They're not like "NO I'M NOT GAY OMG I HATE FAGS I AM NOT GAY I AM NOT GAY!"
Who even knows if glam has anything to do with sexual identity? You should just dress and look how you want to without the fear of being rejected by others. The glam style is a way of being from everyone else, and being less mainstream. The only reason glam people get so much shit for looking that way is because of these strict gender roles in our society. I mean, I'm a girl, and I think I possess some male traits. I have been told my personality is more masculine... my appearance is definitely not masculine, but some say my personality is when it comes to dating and such. I also like beer, cars, graphic design... I like to play football, and I like to play guitar. However, I also enjoy spending hours with my makeup, going shopping, and saving 800 pictures of Axl Rose to my photobucket. It's just so stupid... all these gender roles... people should be whoever they want to be. As long as you know your sexual orientation... who really gives a fuck!
I also hate how glam people seem to get bashed even MORE than "emo / scene " people. The same could be easily said for them... it's just ridiculous, people just don't understand glam if they are not part of the scene.
