The Morning After: Go G0y! Edition
* The New Gay reveals an “an exciting new way to internalize homophobia“: It’s not gay, it’s g0y! G0ys (pictured) hate anal sex, femininity, and gay dudes, but love God and casually bro-ing out with other dudes and blowing them. And they spell their sexuality with a zero. Sign up here!
* Slate tapes an interview with a MILF.
* Fashion Fuel D.C. wonders if men will save us from recession, because “while women tend to shop out of frivolity, men tend to shop out of necessity.” But women shop for others, too.
* Bay Windows rates the LGBT friendliness of Obama appointments.
* From Feministing: New Zealand dude thinks abortions lead men to beat women, because their “maleness is under threat.” Kind of sweet and old-fashioned, no?

Amanda Hess,
I have to take issue with the way you malign the g0y movement by quoting The New Gay’s inflammatory statement that it is “an exciting new way to internalize homophobia“. You apparently, I suspect, didn’t actually go to the g0y website and spend the length of time many supporters have but instead decided to share the misinformed opinions of ‘Adam Isn’t Here’ purely for the controversy it generates.
To your credit, at least you included the site address, so more open-minded individuals can make up their own minds.
Why you, as a woman – you ARE a woman, aren’t you? One can’t always be sure – would even care, as you are not in the g0y demographic.
Well any publicity is good publicity, so I thank you for that. The whinings of a few knee-jerk foot stamping queens at The New Gay blog will only underscore our point of view to those who identify with the g0y movement, and THOSE are the men in our demographic, not the crybabies who are afraid we might steal their manly men.

Hey Patrick,
Thanks for writing in, even if you take issue with the New Gay quote. I did look on the g0y website for some administrator contact info, but couldn’t find any. I’d actually love to speak with you more about the movement, if you’re interested.

Well, Mr. Dennison did such a great job responding that there’s not much I can add to his well articulated feedback. I will however, leave some of the actual feedback the movement has recieved:

wow.. I just read the website… MAN.. this explains so much in my life! i wish I knew about this when I was 20… Would have saved alot of hell living as a gay man… which.. I hate.

i recently learned about what it meant to be g0y. For many years I have been confused about what I felt for guys because i admire other guys and sometimes wished i could cuddle with one of my bros, however i knew that i didn’t fit into what is called gay. I have never wanted to have anal sex, or act like a girl or any of those things. Because of all this I tried to not think of guys at all and tried to only think of girls, but it felt like i was fighting a losing battle. honestly there were times when i felt so bad i thought about suicide, however because of my moral values i could never do it. I felt so lost and broken. This battle inside of me has kept me from enjoying a lot of things in life, and has distracted me from actually having a life. However when i first read about g0ys i instantly felt better. All i’ve ever wanted is to be close to another guy, but in a masculine way.

Hey bud, saw your post and wanted to say hey. It’s an interesting concept with the g0ys movement. I have always felt that as a guy who likes guys, I shouldn’t be classified the same as other guys who act like girls, wear makeup, wear women’s clothes, or don’t act like guys. I was raised on a farm, have played sports m whole life, am masculine, athletic, work out . . . and I just happen to like the feel of a hot guy next to me.

Thank you for your posting. I have googled g0y and am sitting here stunned. I have felt the way I have since I was in my early teens, and to have it all translated for me is an extreme epiphany. I have always been turned on by masculine looking guys, pictures of guys in their underwear and watching guys in the locker room. I like to get intimate with guys without the anal part of it. I’m a divorced guy who went through all of this because my ex-wife found out about my relationship with my best friend growing up and couldn’t deal with it. Funny, she had her own same sex experiences as little as 8 years ago and continually made comments about how hot certain women were. But I guess that’s her loss. Thank you again for your enlightening post. I am forever in your debt.

I’ve never heard of this group before. I grew up in a very conservative Christian home, but feel attracted to guys. I don’t fit in to the gay scene and so this post answers a ton of questions.

hey m8!!!! i read ur post and what a sigh of relief!!! i finally have a label for how i feel.. i hate everything about what “gay”means because i do not identify with that… im a normal str8 guy whos into being affectionate with others
- Bill974
thanks so much for the site hook up bro! its kind of really awesome to know that im not fuckin queer for just diggin aspects of other guys. i think its important to let others know the same deal!
- Ryan
This is absolutely fascinating to me. I had no idea this movement was in existence. It makes so much sense, and frankly gives me relief to know it. Thank you for introducing me to the philosophy. It makes perfect sense, and it’s what I’ve felt. I agree with all its premises from what I can tell.
- Jay
YUP, this is and was me back in the early 70s when I came out. This is why I am still alive today. Never got the…. need to get or fuck a guy in the ass. I LOVE to wrestle, LOVE masculinity, snuggling and touching, being affectionate.
- VFG
When I stumbled upon this site I was in shock. I couldn’t believe it’s real! You’re redefining the concept of male/male bond! I’m 28 years old and would love to experience a true bond with a guy. I don’t believe that male intimacy could be reached by sex only. The greatest thing is to have a friend who appreciates outdoor activities, sports, nice book or a movie as much as you do… a person you feel comfortable with and you can learn new things from. For years, I couldn’t understand these feelings I have and now everything make sense and I’m not alone!

Just discovered this whole “g0y” thing, and I have to say, it’s FRIGGIN’ AMAZING! It’s like I’m finally home after years of wandering around, wondering why nothing felt right.

It’s really interesting that the guys who call for equality and stuff are pissed off because there are other guys other out there who have different view regarding male/male bonds. It’s so “you’re not black enough” statement. I personally don’t care about what the guys in the gay community do… their business and there are free men, but I expect them to let me do what I want and this includes rejecting their lifestyle.

apparently these people who gave the feadback missed the part where being gay was being affectionate/intimate with other men, and the rest of the stuff are individual characteristics, fashion sense, and occasionally a difference in personal gender perception. hey g0ys I challenge you to try anal sex, and then readdress your stance. I mean that shit is DANK!!!

I would give anything to talk to any local D.C. g0y. CALL ME

When we insult someone we say: F#$% you! I certainly would never do this to the man I love… insulting him “literally”. This is our choice and I cannot believe that there are people out there who are so pissed.
Go G0YS!

Mdesus, are you serious? I don’t think I have to try anal sex to know if i’m comfortable with it about as much as I don’t need to have sex with a girl to know I wouldn’t like it.
The mindset that allows guys to be affectionate with other guys without affecting effeminate characteristics is exactly why the g0y movement appeals to me.
Gig ‘em, G0ys,

hahahaha. Yeah I think there is a major misconception that somehow being gay means you’re effeminate. I have several gay friends who are much less effeminate than I. The anal sex part was a joke, but then again so is the whole idea of Goy culture.
