Does this video about gay ‘buzzwords’ make you laugh or cry? (VIDEO)
A new video aims to poke fun at āstereotypical gay buzzwordsā ā but has been accused of throwing a little too much shade.
US actor Tim Murray has released a video attacking what he calls their āstaleā use of gay ābuzzwordsā in everyday conversation.
āThe idea stemmed from a comment on a Facebook picture,ā Murray told The Huffington Post.
āSomeone wrote ā#bottomā on a picture of me as a chubby middle schooler wearing a pooka shell necklace and really unfortunate teevas.
āI was like āWell, thatās an unusual response to a picture with a lot of other things going on.ā
āThen I started noticing it in everyday life.
āSome people (not just gay people) donāt listen when you talk. They have an arsenal of ābuzz wordsā to use as stock answers to anything you say.
āThatās what the sketch is about. Authenticity.ā
The video shows two men make allusions to other aspects of gay life, such as dating apps and poppers.
However, although the video is meant to be funny, many have accused Murray of internal homophobia, claiming his video does little more than ridicule feminine men.
Murray, unsurprisingly. āI want people to take away that they should be their authentic selves. Whether thatās femme, masc, male, female, trans, bilingual, donāt know any languages, silly, bland, super into tamagotchis it doesnāt matter!
āAs my hero RuPaul says, āNever take yourself too seriously.āā
