Why are so many actors and hairdressers of both sexes gay?

it may appear that way but instead I challenge you and everyone else to rather take a step back and look at a few factors: 1. the employment options posed are arenas that are much more accepting of LGBT persons and 2. these are also employment options that are much more gender neutral in the 21st century - not rigid in expectations as opposed to a contrcution worker. \n\nIn fact, I suggest making guesses as to how many construction workers are, in fact, gay as well. Or how about car mechanics, military personel, nurses, teachers et al. I would be bold enough to suspect that the numbers would remain consistent across the board - comparable. \n\nA place of employment is more of a choice than one's attraction and as such and back to your original question: why are so many hairdressers and actors of both sexes gay - well because they outnumber heterosexual counterparts... or so it seems.\n\nLook to see and question what socialization factors have influenced more acceptability in these particular fields.

Because they are projecting their own homoerotic thoughts onto the women. You'll notice, most men who are crazy about lesbians are also homophobic. Psychologically they are saying 'YOU are the gay one..Not Me'. Most of the psychological community agrees on this.

The media is encouraging this trend that you mentioned.  In my opinion, all of these "makeover shows" such as "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," etc. really needs to stop.  I don't mind if gay dudes wanna fuss over their hair and primp themselves like they were getting ready for the Miss America paegent, but for the rest of us straight guys who could really care less about what mainstream media is suggesting to us today, I propose a new batch of reality TV shows for the manly men out there.  What we need to get are more manly TV shows like "Real Life: I'm a Pirate", "Gus the Lumberjack" or "Slash McNash: Vigilante Justice."

Alot of men do that.  Not all of course but alot do.  And some will even act gay around other gays even though they themselves arent.  Just for the mere fact that they are comfortable around them.  A gay man is a curious one.   They can act flaming gay or as straight as a board.  It all depends on the man.

Ya know, you're absolutely right! Gay fashion designers DO have a high degree of creativity that is put upon the sticks to parade in as they walk the catwalk.  I would LOVE to see a fashion show with "normal" people in it.

i guess it is because people find it unconventional. i had this lesson in psyschology that if all of the people in one room wear white shirts and someone comes in and rather wears a different color, that person is bound to be looked at. there's nothing offensive about being looked at if you know how to enjoy the attention. the fascination with gay people will never stop unless every man in the world is gay. i think it is better we leave it at that. there's actually no use for gay people to mind this people at all. they've just got to be happy with themselves.

It's a fetish or maybe they really want to be a female. Maybe they are gay.

It's really not possible to give GAY a face. Gay people are as diverse in their appearance, mannerisms,and backgrounds as straight people. For every gay person you can spot in a crowd there are several you cannot. As a gay man I've realized that other than my sexuality, I have little or nothing in common with many gay people I've met. I don't fit the stereotype well at all. Society needs to realize that gay is not a culture, a look, nor a belief system. It is simply a condition, like being short or tall.

Yes, that bothers me but I cannot help but laugh when I see them portrayed this way in movies.  I suppose I am use to all the gay humor and offensive portrayals that I , am gay male, laugh at these insane perceptions.\n\nBut, unfortunately in the TV world a gay drama queen wearing fuzzy pink daises and a tied up shirt is more "dramatic" and appealing to the audience versus a "normal" acting gay guy. It's just the sad truth.\n\nIt's up to people to separate fact from fiction...and I think most people will base their perception on experiences they have on their own with gay people.

You're absolutely right.\n\nThese days, people are using homosexuality almost like some kind of gimmick.  For instance, a friend of mine who saw Brokeback Mountain told me that it wasn't even a good movie.  Yet somehow, it won all these awards just for being "controversial". \n \nIf a movie maker wants to include a homosexual character in their film, there is no reason to try to exploit that fact to make money.  In the movie V for Vendetta, there are a couple of characters that are gay, but that is not exploited, nor is it even the central issue of the film.  \nIf people want homosexuality to be something that is not abnormal, then they need to portray it as such.  If I were a gay person, I would certainly feel offended if movies tried to highlight a character's sexual preference just so they can say they are "breaking boundaries".

Nope. If they are straight, they are straight, as long as we are talking about non-porn roles. If you are talking about porn here, well, you can get into some really tricky arguments about whether someone is gay. It seems very possible that some straight porn actors (especially females but not exclusively) may be led to perform homosexual acts by force, while still others may simply want the money.

I think that gay men that are really flamboyant and "act gay" tend to get media attention more often.  But there are "normal" gay guys out there, but normal people don't get on television as much, even if they're gay.\n\nScience hasn't really figured out for certain what causes people to become gay.  Some of it is psychology, and some is physical or genetic (you're born with it!).\n\nIt's looking more and more like a combination of both.

Hi,\nTrue, some men have interest in both the sexes. Basic attraction could be for the opposite sex, but then there is a tendency of getting attracted towards the same sex, the reason being various and curiosity could be one of them.

There aren't "always."  there are in some couples.  I know two butch lesbians that are a fantastic couple -- and many masculine/masculine gay male couples. Also several couples of gay men who would probably both be labeled "effeminate."  \n\nWhy is anyone attracted to anyone? Why are some people attracted to red hair?  Can't know.  Just happens.

it shows that the ones who are the most vocally anti-gay are usually the biggest closet-case gays themselves.\n\nand gee!  tha's the way it is in real life, too, not just in the movies!
