Straight Acting Erik Can’t Wait To Tell You About All the German Guys He … Talks To

By September 1, 2010 at 4:09pm · 18 comments

Straight Acting Erik, our favorite Minnesota college vlogger, is leaving behind the U.S. as planned as he spends a semester abroad studying deutsche kerle. And if history is our lesson plan, there will be some thinly veiled sexual references in our future!

    Hooray for Erik!

    He’s a loser…more Wavey Davey!!!

    Straight Acting Erik acts less Jason Statham straight and more Tony Randall straight.

    Erik is so much a genuine soul – that’s why I never miss an update. He hides nothing. He puts himself out there as he is, flaws or no flaws.

    I’d like to see some of the chickenshit, complaining bitches here to do the same.

    Fact: They won’t. They’re cowards.

    🙂 Peace! Love!

    Not sure why you promote and condone someone that insists on using such an offensive screen name.

  • The_FNG

    Offensive Screen Name??!!

    Bullshit.

    That’s taken right out of “How to be Queer and Enjoy It” PDF manual. Look at MOST ads, most personals, and you’ll see the very-much asked for trait “Straight Acting”. I love it.

    On what planet would this guy considered be “straight-acting”? Certainly not this one. I would know for sure that this guy was gay in about two seconds, and my gaydar sucks.

    @erik: @erik: umm you’ve heard of sarcasm right?
    (yeah I’m using it right now)

    I still think this whole ‘straight acting’ thing ridiculous. How yall pull it off with a dick up ur ass and probably in ur mouth as well?

    @audiored: It’s offensive, but, given the evidence, it is even more deluded.

    September 2, 2010 at 7:09am
  • erik

    @concernedcitizen: imo the headline is not sarcastic, and based on the vlog that got him notoriety, he himself certainly seems to believe he is straight acting!

    September 2, 2010 at 4:09pm
  • concernedcitizen

    @erik: Yeah I did see the original that got him notoriety and queerty made it upon from then on to refer to him as ‘straight acting’ erik, you honestly think they stuck with that title because they thought it was an accurate portrayal of him, lol

    September 2, 2010 at 7:09pm
  • L.

    @concernedcitizen: Queerty didn’t come up with the ‘straight acting’ bit – Erik himself did, as the name of his vlog, ‘StraightActingGayGuy’, suggests.

    Which, as mentioned earlier, is either delusional or one of the cunningest exercises in postmodern irony.

    @The_FNG: The offensive thing is Erik is NOT straight acting.

    September 3, 2010 at 8:09pm
  • McMike

    btw, what’s so horrible about acting gay???

    I’m not the straightest acting guy nor do I try to be by spending a great deal of energy on trying to do so. Sure, straight guys are hot by nothing makes me skip a beat more than a sweet, gay-acting boy. IMHO, they’re adorable. What’s not adorable are gay guys who are so obviously gay thinking being so obviously gay is somehow wrong.

    Dude, just because you’re not Elton John doesn’t mean you’re “straight acting”.

    “straight ACTING”…that’s like a black person promoting themselves as “white acting” on an African American social networking site. To all you *GAYS* (you are gay, get over what Daddy told you) who think you’re so straight acting….go f8ck a chick and then marry her and have her pop out 12 brats for you. Now THAT’S “straight acting”…not looking for c8ck and claiming to be “str8 acting”…that’s called DELUSIONAL.
