“Beyonce performs in a custom gown, imagined, designed, created, fitted and photographed by gay men. How’s that for cultural appropriation?”
It’s NOT cultural appropriation if the gown was designed for WOMEN to wear. Furthermore, I’d wager to say that the gown she’s wearing was designed SPECIFICALLY for her to wear.
If anything (although even this statement is not an accurate definition of ‘cultural appropriation) gay men designers are appropriating the culture of women by designing women’s clothing- again not an accurate definition but I’m attempting to explain this to the author this article.

am I the only gay guy who doesn’t find tom daley attractive? What is the obsession with him? He’s basic by gay guy standards. I see much better daily.

@davesean: exactly!
I would add that the author is actually just playing exactly into the white privileged mind the original article was criticizing. If he feels offended by the article, then bingo! He is part of the problem. There is nothing wrong with black women asking white (gay) men to stop appropriating their livelihoods.
As a queer man of color, this type of comment makes me question how quickly they forgot that the equality moment was about civil rights ACROSS the board.

@breal: You are not the only one. I don’t get the obsession either.

Tom Daley is literally built like a prepubescent Asian boy. RuPaul looks like walking death. Yikes!

Tom Daley is hot for sure, but I think Chris Mears is way hotter and Jack Laugher is pretty hot too in addition to having one of the best asses imaginable. Both Chris and Jack would have us believe they are straight and I believed it for a while but I am beginning to question that. They both post so many selfies that are IMO provocative to gay men rather than straight women. I could be wrong but I don’t think straight guys spend so much time focusing on their own butts.

@davesean: I do declare. The fact that that’s the best counterargument the writer could articulate to the TIME commentary speaks volumes about his lack of understanding about cultural appropriation. Then again, any time some people are told that they can’t act without impunity with respect to matters of race they get thrown into a tailspin.

@tdh1980: *With* impunity, that is.
