On how gay men are going to marry your girlfriends

So, recently proponents of gay marriage (ie, gay people) decided to take a different tactic to convince people of their cause...


And not to be out done, of course there's this counterpart...


Haha, get it? It's funny because gay men act like women (thus they are perfect matches!) and gay women act like men (and thus are perfect matches!). Okay, I actually really enjoyed the videos. But why must gender stereotypes be so pervasive that even gay people get clumped (reversely....) into them? Nothing can escape gender boxes. Did you see New Normal last week?  Here, let me catch you up:



Last week's episode was about finding out the sex of the baby. When they found out they were having a boy, Bryan freaked out because how would he relate to a boy?! Don't worry, it ended with Bryan teaching a football team how to cook (and realizing he could teach boys to do girl things so really he had nothing to worry about). Really, Ryan Murphy, really?

See, it's the NEW normal. Oh wait, no it's not. It's just two men pretending to be the old normal. Just another show with gender stereotypes. I guess it's the only way we can process relationships. But it doesn't have to be.  IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.




PS- Chocolate baked mousse was.. okay.  These brownies? DELICIOUS.
