Enraged Dude Details Infuriating Experience What can I do? I might as well be a sexless monk.
Why is there no acceptance, no space, no welcome for me in this white-painted gay community? I’m six-foot-one, 160 pounds, fit, and very good-looking. I had the same pain of being gay in high school and the same fears when coming out too. But it is unfair for a gay Asian like myself to be constantly marginalized and rejected. I understand that sexual attraction is subconscious for many people. Gay men, mostly whites and Asians, reject me because of my race and no one admits to their sexual racism.
Please be careful out there.Īs a queer man of color-I’m Asian-I feel wounded whenever I am exposed to gay men in New York City, Toronto, or any city where white gay men dominate. I hope everyone has a happy and safe Pride month. I’m taking a week off, so this week’s “Savage Love” is a reprint of a column that was originally published on January 13, 2016.
