How The Gays See Europe
THE SHOT — Alas this “Europe According to Gay Men” map doesn’t differentiate between Italy and Sicily, missing an opportunity to separate “straight homos” from “straight homos willing to try anything once.” You guess which is which. [via]
Very funny. But what is F.H.S.o.M? I like the other maps as well.

@Dimi:
It’s some of the regions that wealthy Europeans like to go on “holiday” (vaction) – Portugal, the Spanish Islands (i.e. Ibiza), Sardinia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Greece – all countries known for their coastlines.
Queerty, why was my post blocked??? I suggested renaming Czech Republic to Twinks/Incest Porn, Slovakia to Bel Ami, Hungary to Triplet Porn and Ireland to Under 6 Inches. How is that spam or a violation of the comment policy???

I wish I could read what the dots at Berlin, Paris, London and Barcelona say.

Hmm.. not liking that my native Norway gets the label “Gently boring”… but then I suppose it’s not so far from the truth either..
·
The Germans are awfully fetishistic. It’s as if they were born with implements in their asses.
·
Portugal is NOT located on the Mediterranean. It’s on the fucking Atlantic Ocean.
And why the hell aren’t Slovenia and Luxembourg and Andorra labeled?
And the Balearic Islands are NOT an independent country. They’re an integral part of Spain.
·
@Alex Sarmiento: Portugal is not part of the Mediterranean Sea but it is considered to be part of the Mediterranean climate and biosphere.

I wish I could see what was written on Belgium and the Netherlands! Oh to have a sharper picture :)

Ireland ‘in denial’ is classic concidering that Ireland is a really gay-friendly country.
This map only makes gay people look stupid.

@Joey
Our culture is recovering, yours is stoll developing…
Bullshit.
I’d love to be in denial with some hot irish guy.
Maybe Michael Fassbender.

@Joey
Our culture is recovering, yours is still developing…
Bullshit.
I’d love to be in denial with some hot irish guy.
Maybe Michael Fassbender.

There’s a lot of whining about a comedy jpeg on the internet here on queerty today.
@Toby: For some of us, it doesn’t get hot until the gasmasks go on ;-)

Why Serbia is homophobic tribe?? Its gay capitol of south-east Europe including Croatia. In Croatia there are no normal gay clubs,just small ones,they go to Belgrade.

I know, my reply is a tad late. Just read the comments and might be able to enlighten some comnfusion :).
@Jane: Barcelona reads Dancelona, London reads XXL, Berlin reads “Arm aber sexy” which is “poor but sexy” in English.
@Bernie: The Netherlands are labelled Hash and Belgium as Waffles.

@Joey:
> @jason: Their culture is still…recovering. Hence outrageous fetishes and industrial music.
No, it is not because their culture is still developing. It is, because their culture is, again, declining. Remember the NAZIS? Patent Leather, Uniforms, Dungeons (Auschwitz, Dachau, etc.)?
The typical German virtues are: Zucht (disciplined breeding), Ordnung (order), Disziplin (same), Gehorsam (obedience, submissiveness) Pünktlichkeit (on time, to the tick), Fleiß (diligence). See a pattern? BRDSM! :-) “Sachverstand” (means “know-how, expertise, analytic thinking, it is actually two words: “knowledge of the thing” is the holy grail of the German mind, Menschenverstand (“human”-”knowledge”) is less common. The interest in the things, in the material world is higher than in the humane world. Gives: fetish.
People, who are just about the numbers, who are just about discipline, are ideal candidates for a butt-plug, if you ask me :-)
> Kind of like Japan and their strange fixation on the “cuteness” subculture (see Pokemon and Hello Kitty).
I consider the Japanese to be the better Germans: Same kind of values, with the difference, that the Japanese do it like RealMan (“roaaarrr”), at least they have no problems pulling the plug (Sepuku, Harakiri, Kamikaze) in order to prove their complete loyalty and obedience to their masters. The Japanese have brought us the degradation of women as an art-form (by means of artistic bondage). BDSM. That’s why these two nations were so deeply allied in WW2. They fit well together. Two folks who put the systematic way of life above the humane/naive way of life. They seek for perfection. No-Body is perfect. Again, sado-masochistic tendencies (torturing the genitals (no-Body))
Sick like shit.

A few suggested changes:
1) Change Slovakia from “Military Porn” to “Bel Ami”
2) Change Czech Republic from “Posh Beer” to “Twincest Porn” or “Twink Porn” or “Gay for Pay”
3) Change Hungary from “Non-Military Porn” to “Triplet Porn”
4) Change Ireland from “In Denial” to “Under 6 Inches”
