The type of gay people I'm focusing on typically use their sexual persuasion to constantly bang on about their sexual exploits.
When they're not directly talking about it, they still manage to squeeze it into a normal conversation. And usually somebody else's at that.
It can be almost impossible to finish a sentence, without being interrupted by some panhead slipping in an innuendo every now and then.
They think they're being funny too. When they are in fact being incredibly tiresome, crude and extremely boring.
The people I'm talking about never seem to let up the opportunity to flaunt their gayness.
It leads me to believe that it's some kind of attention seeking device.
And I find that kind of behaviour obnoxious.

Equally, it isn't OK for straight men to do the same either...had you read my post properly.

I agree that gay people who overly flaunt how gay they are can be annoying. I'm sure many gay men feel the same way because they feel like the "flamers" are enforcing negative stereotypes about gay men in general.

But this is not unique to homosexuals. Heterosexual men can be and often are just as obnoxious. It seems that overall, men love bragging about sex way more than women do. And social stigma makes it acceptable for men to do this but when women do it they come off as being sluts.

It's a terrible double standard, but another terrible double standard people often make is that it's ok for straight men to do it but when gay men do it it's considered disgusting and something that should be kept private.
