Unfortunately, the gay community has been stereotyped to extremes by the media, or gay men have had bad childhood experiences. True, there are the ‘screaming queens’ in the gay community who are extremely flamboyant and more feminine than your grandmother, but it is also important to remember that even straight men can be more feminine than the norm. I have several gay friends who are as masculine as Mr. Universe, and I have ones who practically wear dresses. I also have straight friends who work out and refuse to show emotion, capturing the essence of masculinity, and then I have straight friends who jump on chairs and scream when they see a cockroach. I fall somewhere in between. I’m a makeup artist (considered feminine) and yet I work out, change tires and mow my lawn with brute force. My point: Humans are created as they are, whether that’s gay, straight, feminine, masculine and so many more varieties. And the feminine gay people you know aren’t the standard, just the more obvious.

It began with special-effects makeup in the movies, and evolved into me working for studios and also making money by making people feel beautiful. I feel that what a person chooses to do isn’t linked to their sexuality. I have a good male friend who works in cosmetics at a department store and is married – yes, to a girl.

However, this usually isn’t the case. Having several friends, many of which are in their late 20’s and early 30’s who have been addicted and then come clean from several drugs, I’ve noticed that their reasons are usually something along the lines of ‘It was there, I was getting in the mood and just fitting in.’ Basically, even when people are adults they are just as vulnerable to peer pressure. Drugs are made to be addictive, so when someone gets a taste, they get hooked. I activly participate in the scene, including the clubs and various other hang-outs, and have yet to do a drug in my life. What you need to do is talk to your friend. Express to him your fear about his life and health. Basically an intervention where you can hopefully convince him to seek help. Major drugs are much more diffucult to kick than anything else.
