I can’t agree with you more on this one. It seems everywhere I go people start flaming about anything. I’m starting to doubt people…I don’t know sounds very pesimistic but this is how i see it.I think people need to find out more

“Manuary” sure comes across as suggesting that being “manly” is pretty exclusive to the couch-potato, slovenly, and pseudo-bear stereotype perspective of what’s manly. While these stereotypes are not the exclusive realm of the heterosexuals they certainly are not appropriate for most men I know (whether homo or hetero). Where are the descriptors of the manly men who:
* attend or coach our (grand)children’s games and concerts,
* go to the ballet, symphony, or opera
* dress up clean and sharp
* take our husband or wife on a special date
* volunteer in our community
* repair / remodel the house
* mentor a child
* drive for a senior citizen
* cook a special meal for friends
* sing barbershop ?

Indeed, this campaign comes across as weak, borderline offensive, borderline homophobic, and inappropriately stereotypical. Next year come up with a better concept, and it might just be appropriate to link it to the official Prostate Cancer month — called September.

It’s certainly playing up to a certain definition of manliness that is probably more associated with straight than with gay guys (though there are a lot of gay guys who find beards and flannel shirts very manly!)

I think the gender stereotyping here is just a little odd. I suspect there are straight guys who would find it so as well. It doesn’t seem that it would be effective for a PC awareness building campaign.

I just have to say this was potentially one of the most intelligent blurbs I have view on the subject so far. I do not have any idea where you learn all of your data but up! I’m going to send some individuals over here to check this out. Fantastic, totally fantastic.

Hi: Unfortunately, there is no LGBT cancer survivor group in Philly that we know about. Online, there is outwithcancer.org and, soon, a more focused online support group. ALSO, we would be happy to sponsor a group in Philly…might you like to help start one?
