Queerocity Of Friendships

From what i got about this song was that when cow boys where out alone they would have sex, for this the western days are a big argument weather their actions were a norm during those days or labeled as gay.

WELCOME BACK! As most of you guys may know the city of West Holly Wood is known to be a very gay friendly city. One third of its population are gay men and they have 25 gay bars and 69 gay friendly places and hotels. The reason this relates to my topic is because this is a place where the LGBTQ community can feel safe and secure to be themselves. Even as friends no one will judge you in this space, and that’s the beauty of West Hollywood. If your gay or Trans or lesbian and your hanging out with the same sex friend no one will assume anything people will just let you be, this is a place to be you and be happy. I’ve learned this from experience from going plenty of times and observing this place closely. 

Hello everyone, welcome back to our blog! Today i will be analyzing this image in a deeper way that you guys may see it. You guys may just see two guys either a little too close or just acting friendly as bros. I know i’ll have both kind of responses to this image but the reality of it is that we need to learn that just because two guys are close to each other one with his arm arm around the other does not mean their gay. This is an image from an article called “The feels of friendship” by Eric Newman. This article tells us how although these men may both be gay, being in a gay friendship is okay and should be accepted. I think whats significant about this image is the idea whether these boys are a couple or just friends. We may assume one or the other but the only way to know is to research the imagine. In this case these boys are just bros. Their both gay friends. Being gay friends does not always mean sex and that’ the idea this article trys to get by. That’s the idea that same sex friends can be just friends and sex does not have to be involved. It illustrates the issue of assumption between the LGBT community, that just because their both gay they must be having sex or they must be together when that is not the case. 

For the most part, Erin Tatum does a good job in pointing out the flaws in people’s arguments when it comes to being involved in a queer relationship. One of the arguments she had was that if you present as traditionally masculine or feminime, you are the bad stereotype of queer representation. I found this to be particularly interesting because as a student in a Queer Studies class, I’ve never encountered such argument against butch or femme lesbians. The author brings forth her own experience in the article that goes against what most straight people think about queer relationships, leading the reader to believe that she has personally experienced the criticism that she discusses throughout the article.

 This  blog is to understand and explore the history of Romantic relationships/friendships in the queer community. The purpose of this blog is to try to understand if there a limit to what can be describes between being just friends and in a relationship. It is important because there has been misunderstandings about this topic. To those who have are confused or curious we have decided to further investigate this idea through different times periods, this way we can get different information. Specifically, Diana will be focusing on the Western Days. Diane will focus on the Renaissance era and Danny will be focusing on mid 21 century. Our information is universal, everyone is welcome to read what we discover.
