Namaste and welcome avid knowledge seekers. Today I want to talk about bromance. First you must read my blogs to understand that I am NOT homophobic, but actually am a hetero man in favor of homosexual rights. Moving on, I just wanted to quickly digress and discuss the growing trend of bromosexuality in the movies.
Bromosexuality is defined by the Urban dictionary (a source I like to cite often) as: "when guys are really good friends, and they make jokes/talk about each other in ways that are almost homosexual, but not quite."
I am PRO people being true to themselves and coming out of the closet. I hope it doesn't offend anyone, but I just want people to treat others with, not special treatment, but respect, and that includes to yourself. Hollywood has taken advantage of the coming out of the homosexual community and gotten caught up in the bromanticism of it all. I will cite for my opinions the actors and the various movies they star in as follows. James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Danny McBride in particular. YES, they have made some funny films, but I think that they are aiding in the androgyny and confusion of young boys/men today. Straight men do NOT wake up and say lines like "I'm gonna suck today's dick!" or tickle another straight man's penis.
Further examples are boys/men that shave their arms, legs, chest, etc. for no quite understandable reason. Some guys wear makeup and wear skinny jeans or like dressing up in women's clothing. These are generally things done by homosexual men and I find it odd that more people just don't come out of the closet. It's okay to like feminine things as a male, but as I said, it is more important to be true to who you are INSIDE. I've been through school and even in the military there was a big anti-gay vibe going on and I think it is tragic that men AND women have to hide and deny who they are because of negatively biased social standards. If you want people to accept you for who you are, then you must first be true to yourself. I think these guys in these silly movies are bisexual, meaning they like men and women. My only contention is that they are playing hetero roles and confusing hetero boys as to how they are supposed to act. Being a fake homosexual is an insult to those who have that genuine fear of ridicule from coming out of the closet. Whether it is from social stereotypes, judgement, conservative families, etc... there is a real fear for people to be true to who they are inside. Even when we are dating and trying to find a partner, sometimes it is difficult to meet someone with the same perversions or sexual orientation as you. A lot of men think that because they like anal play that means they are homosexual. Whether you are gay or straight really depends on whom you would like to perform sexual acts with. If you want to perform them, or conversely have them performed on you by the SAME gender, then you are homosexual. You can do the same exact thing with the opposite gender and it is hetero. Perhaps it is difficult for men to accept their own sexuality, especially if they are aroused by the same gender. It could indeed cause confusion and negative self thought, depending on socio-economic upbringing and religion.
The most important part of any relationship, be it lovers or just BROMANTIC friends is TRUST, which starts with HONESTY and INTEGRITY. Be true to who you are inside and the right people will want to be around you
