sexualised or desexualised?


Sexualised images of men in fashion branding leads to stereotyping of gay men...that is the question.
So does images of scantly dressed, hot, young hunks frolicking on the beach empower or disempower the gay man?

Hey Dan,

Your statement doesn't make sense!

But I think I know what you mean...

To most of the gay guys I know, hot guys frolicking on the beach in front of you is great to look at, but it leaves them with self-esteem issues. I think that, well, to me, I like guys that girls like.

The Abercrombie Story is a great example of stereotyping homosexuality in fashion branding -- but I don't think it's possible for people to accept the fact that guys frolicking in the sun necessarily makes them gay, or even empowers the gay man. It's more of a revue.
