This morning, I was doing some research on a blog entry that I am currently working on. The blog will focus on queer peoples’ fervent love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. While on Google search, I started my search phrase with;

“Why do gay people …”. Before I could finish the sentence, Google pre-populated the following popular search queries:

(1)   Why do gay people have lisps?

(2)   Why do gay people get AIDS?

(3)   Why do gay people talk funny?

(4)   Why do gay people want to get married?

It’s not really shocking that this came up – although I am surprised that nobody asked why gay people have an agenda. So on a lark, I thought fair is fair and decided to see what the magnificent Google pre-populated with the search phrase “Why do straight people …?”. Disappointingly thought, nothing came up! However when I broke it down between men and women I got some very interesting results.

When I searched “Why do straight men ….” These are the responses I got:

(1)   Why do straight men like men?

(2)   Why do straight men act gay?

(3)   Why do straight men cross dress?

(4)   Why do straight men flirt with gay men?

Last, but certainly not least, when I searched “Why do straight women” I got these responses:

(1)   Why do straight women like gay men?

(2)   Why do straight women fall for gay men?

(3)   Why do straight women marry gay men?

(4)   Why do straight women love gay men?

What possible conclusions could we draw from Google? Just from this little drag queen’s perspective it seems as though there is an apparent fascination with gay people and our fabulous culture. Although gay people are still sometimes the focus of bullshit and some straight-up hateration,  straight men are attempting to appropriate our culture and transform themselves into fabulous gay creatures. Straight women wish to marry us - seeing us as a more desirable mate than straight men - and procreate gay babies – also known as gaybies – whom they would dress in little sailor suits. I’m just saying …
