We've all seen them by now, those frolicking five spilling out of their shiny SUV, rushing off to today's gala, cosmos in hand, laughing all the way. Whether it's whipping up a meal for seventeen, or renovating the bathroom, gay guys have a flair for making everything seem like a blast and a half.
But, what's the inside scoop? Do gays really have more fun?
In a word, yup. Even the American Heritage Dictionary is down with the facts. Look up "gay" and you'll find:
1. Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
2. Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.
See? Gay guys just get it when it comes to the finer points of frivolity. After all, life is good and there's plenty to celebrate, so why not make the most of it? True, homo-sapiens of every stripe are hardwired to concern themselves with fulfilling their basic human needs. But gays are famous for taking it to the next level, waltzing those basics around the ballroom with flair and panache. Here's the skinny:
Food... Forget the mac 'n cheese from a box and the brewski in the bottle. Not shy to don an apron and pick up a whisk, gay men put the B in brunch, the C in cosmopolitan. Food is festive, fun, and well-worth fussing over. Finagle yourself an invite to a gay friend's place for a meal, and you're sure to be wined and dined in signature style.
Clothing... Who are millions of viewers turning to week-after-week to learn how to really get it right when it comes to wardrobe? Whether it's a tuck here or a zhoozh there, gay guys are famous for pulling off that seemingly effortless, perfectly put-together look. And everyone knows that when you look good, you feel good; and when you feel good, you have more fun.
Shelter... Whether it's a wow of a window treatment, a chic and spectacular sectional, or a frisky faux-finish in the foyer, the brethren are clearly in command when it comes to making the most of the roof over their heads. How fun is that? While it's not known whether the gay gene and the interior decorating gene are actually cozied up on the DNA strand, evidence has suggested a possible link for generations.
Affection... Read it and weep, my friends: gays have more friends, and gays have more physical intimacy. A knack for creating community, a penchant for impromptu parties, the gift of gab, and the manifestation of the male-drive-times-two, all add up to a sensuo-social calendar that would keep any companionable creature cavorting in compatible company for days.
Fabulosity... Or, as renowned psychological theorist Abraham Maslow called it, self-actualization. Whatever your vernacular, it translates to being who you truly are and being it to the hilt. Sure, gays live in a land that might prefer we'd work a little harder to conform to the norm, but that's just not who we are. Declaring independence from an ill-fitting set of statutes is like, well, busting out of a stuffy little closet and running around the block naked while singing Diana Ross songs at the top of your lungs. Or something. Free to be our true fabulous selves, we celebrate our creative native spirit. And hey, celebration is just a whole lot of fun.
