Do You Want To Be An "A-Gay"?
Step One: Remove Brain
As you know, we like to check in with the faglings from the time to time - you know, see how the kids are doing, what they're talking about etc. It's our way of staying young - far cheaper than surgery...
Anyway, we were just paying a visit to UK teeny-bopper fag rag, Puffta and came across the so-called "Are You An A-Gay?" quiz. The seven-question head scratcher runs the gamut from tanning to clubbing. (Okay, not so much of a gamut as a check-list of vapidity.)
We won't bore you with the brainless details. We will say, however, that if this is the direction our youth are taking, Larry Kramer's right: we're totally, irreparably fucked.
How much of an A-Gay are you? [Puffta]

that quiz makes me sick.
Puffta might try and suggest it's tongue-in-cheek, but the problem is, the kids out there believe in this sort of stuff. We all know why: positive marketing, peer pressure, need to fit in with your friends and so on ... but the question for all of us is how to we get it across to these kids that there is an alternative out there? That's our challenge, and I wish I knew how to rise to it.
Ewwww. That quiz laudes the grossest kind of queen: Overtanned, sunglass wearing travesties. Good times.
Why does anyone think they need to get anything across to anyone. Let people tan 'til they're orange if they want to.
I have a feeling the disenfranchisement you seem to be having with puffta.co.uk The UK has accpted the fact that everyone is trashed on drugs and materialistic, so embracing that makes life easier for everyone. It's all funnier to look back on in 20 years anyway.

Come on guys, it's totally a bit of fun and anybody who lives in the UK and (especially in London) is on the scene I'm pretty sure will have a laugh at this quiz. Why not also have a look at our sexual health web site www.positiveadam.co.uk or the other gay boy articles on puffta arming and educating young gay men to grow up to be happy homos.
