Mr X was making a joke though which is understood amongst the "gay" sort of like the whole toaster thing
its pretty common in the gay world though - its obsessed with youth and perfect bodies and once you're over 25 your out of it - a lot of that is changing - but it was established and was there basically because young gay guys coming out didn't think they could have a future - for so long there was no gay marriage or long term couples and no real older gay role models and people just thought getting old meant be old and alone - the guy at the sunsest beach who spoke it really well and it was very true
thats changing now - especially in Canada with Gay marriage etc and there are now role models and older gay people to look up to and admire and strive to be etc
i don't know what its like in the str8 world but the gay world can be and really is quite segmented and divided amongst groups and they often don't mix and I have heard some pretty gross remarks said from on gay person to another based on who they are or how they look
Its pretty sad that people who were called names and probably picked on for being gay do the same to each other
its just that way - bars have asian night, latino night, bear night, twink night, whatever and people just stick their group and their type - in a way coming out of the closet is just moving into a bigger one with more sections - kinda weird
