Why do people think all guy vegetarians are gay?!
Answers: I'm a guy and a vegetarian and I'm sick of being referred to as gay. I'm not a homo!
People from almost all cultures were raised in a homophobic society. It is in their cultural 'norms' that there were only two sexes. That's why everybody can easily pinpoint someone and condemn him/her as a gay/lesbian.
Regarding the question,
masculinity is much shown in eating foods especially meat (pork) drooping with oils...
In the general sense, man who tries to be 'fit' is associated with vanity. That's why vegetarians get the STEREOTYPE...
Well. If I were you, I would stop bothering. In the end, it's you who will end up healthy and long living.
:-)
Ignorence pure ignorence is the problem. Personally if your a vegan doesnt bother me wether your gay or not. Its your life your choice be happy with it.
Who are these people? I don't know a single person who believes if you are a guy and vegetarian that you must be gay. Maybe this is just the people that you know.
Even if you were, it shouldn't matter. A lot of people are narrow minded. BTW, gay men are called gay men...not homos.
It is because it is considered that to not eat meat is not manly. Especially considering that humans were evolutionary designed to eat both meat and vegetables and the males of our species were considered to be the hunter and gatherers.
I don't think that they're gay. It just means they care about animals most of the time. It's okay for men to like animals!
NO!! This is not true!! In fact, I have yet to meet a gay vegetarian.
People are stupid!
i have guy friends that are vegetarians and they are STRAIGHT!
do you know Vince? he's a vegan and hes str8
It really depends on your attitude. Some people think that vegetarians are compassionate towards animals, and they associate compassion with femininity, and therefore call male vegetarians gay.
I've never been referred to as gay because of my diet.
Because some vegetarians ARE gay and idiots stereotype and think the diet has something to do with it (which gives you an indication of the level of intelligence of those wh think so) Since they don't really understand what vegetarianism (and homosexuality for that matter)is so they say "hmmm it must be it. Sort of putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 64. I would like to point out that while I have gay friends, none of them are vegetarian. And of my vegetarian/vegan friends, none are gay (or at least admit to being one)
There is also a study that supposedly found out that soy inhibits male hormones or something like that contributes to males being more effeminate. Don't know the validity of that study but it's out there for people to read. You can search for it.
its to do with how meat is advertised,. like meat means you are strong, and caring makes you gay!
that why only 1/3 of the veg*n populaiton is men.
becuase of the poor sterotype.
here is what you do: be really strong and toned and brillaint nd then girls will love you and other guys will soon think its good to be veg*n
Not gay, Just democrats. Or Al Gore.
I am a meat eater. I eat the organs and meat of both male and female species. I think that means that I am closer to being gay than you will ever be.
Yet, strangely, I am not. Neither are you.
Go figure.
no ur a homophobe...............
Well *this maybe a stupid awnser* PETA...alot of people think vegetarians are associated with PETA. I'm not a vegetarian but i got friends that are vegetarians cause they just dont like meat. but i know a few extemist vegetarians, and really people just cant get over crap after what some people done!
Some people think that because they are ignorant morons.
This is at least the second time you brought this up. What's the deal?
Are you in high school or what?
Are you talking about other guys your age at your school or something? They're probably just trying to get a reaction out of you. If somebody insults you, insult them back. Try not to take it so seriously. If you make a big deal out of it, they will probably do it even more. If you act like it's nothing, they are more likely to get bored and quit bothering you.
I don't know any gay vegetarians. Most of the vegetarians I know are either Hindus or members of Hare Krishna and they are very conservative about sexual matters.
Whats wrong with people thinking you're a animal loving compassionate gay dude? You probably get more girls than all the flesh eating ignorant probably gay anyway dudes. If you are secure with yourself it really doesn't matter what people think, right?
pure ignorence...
brad pitt and nelly are vegetarians are they gay, no?
vegetarian men are just good people who care about others and animals and there health..
i only date men who are vegetarians :-)
I read in an article said that man who consume more soy bean would have slightly decrease their male hormone. Female that are vegetarian are more likely to have female baby
But soybean product are not your only choice of food. Guy vegetarians are gay is just a stereotype. If they are then how come Indian people still have babies? ( Most of Indian are vegetarian)
It's 100% ignorance. I don't know where this stereotype came from, but *we* all know it's ridiculous.
I'm sorry to propel the stereotype but I am vegan and gay and damn proud. I don't see why people hate on gays so much. You have to be really insecure about your own sexuality in order hate someone who has absolutely no impact on your life whatsoever. Deal with it! I have to live amongst hate. I am among the most hated people in the world and there's nothing I or YOU can do about it. "Fake wannabe macho" men need to get over themselves. They are the root of all evil and cause more problems than they solve. That's why women are better than men. Women can get the job done and have the capacity to love everyone in there midst.
I've gone on a rant, whatever.
Vegan/Vegetarian doesn't mean gay, it takes more of a man to have the willpower to abstain from animal products and exploitation. Straight male haters are lazy and you know they want it in the a$$ anyway.
