One of our favorite web series, My Gay Roommate, is back with a brand new season.
After a lengthy search, Nick and his clipboard hit the streets of New York in a last ditch effort to secure himself living situation. He ends up meeting an unusual candidate: an adorkable, video game obsessed straight guy whose idea of decorating includes hanging Christmas lights indoors and displaying posters of young Arnold Schwarzenegger on the wall.
After consulting with his fabulous mother, Nick decides to move in. “It’s a fixer upper,” he says, “both the apartment and the roommate. But that’s okay. Because straight boys are my speciality.”
Ours, too!
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Check out the episode below.

I don’t actually have time to watch this right now, but decorating your home with posters of young Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn’t sound very straight to me.

hyhybt,
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a symbol of masculinity and virility, something many gay men have difficulty relating to. He’s definitely a straight male fantasy object.
Virility is wasted on gay men, if you know what I mean.

If you like gay stereotypes, remember that hypermasculinity is one too, along with the desire for it in others.

hyhybt,
That may be the case but you shouldn’t over-interpret a straight man’s love for other men. Straight men need role models of virility.

Please. All it takes for a straight man to have sex with another man is a little money. Trust me. I’ve bought a few in my lifetime.

Straight boys are easy to seduce.

Damn, what a disillusioning comment thread. I’d always imagined “jimbryant” having a classy statue of Michelangelo’s “David” in the foyer. Or at the very least, a Tom of Finland poster. But Schwarzenegger, oh dear.

This is one of those times where homophobia is totally understandable.

@Billysees: That should be straight in quotes. A straight guy is not easy to seduce if he’s not bicurious already.

@Niall:
I think you’re pretty much correct here.
