19. The stereotype is well liked in much of the country, and certainly here on DU.

And often, so wrong. My dad had zero fashion sense, for example, and I've never noticed that his partner does either. And my dad's sensitivity and empathy was rather less than the average American male.

As I've tried to tell people many times, there is just as much of a range in behavior and personality among gays as among straight people. That should be obvious to progressives and liberals, but it isn't always. But their idealization of gay people doesn't help anyone, certainly not gays. They need to be accepted and appreciated for the full human beings that they are -- warts and everything -- or they aren't really being accepted at all.
