How can you hate acting but enjoy other performance arts when acting ties back into so many of them?
That goes beyond gay stereotypes because it's supposed to be ubiquitous in this culture that all people enjoy at least some television shows and movies.
But you're saying that the majority of gay men you know can't enjoy movies, television, and stage productions? That's... That's just so alien to me I can't even see a possible reason for it.
Whats the big problem with it?
Why is it sad that anyone enjoys watching movies, television, or going to see live theatre? The majority of all people that I know enjoy all three quite freely and aren't annoying about it for the most part, though there is the occasional bout of fanboyism or fangirlism, with the rest at least enjoying the first pair and with a not insignificant minority of that minority enjoying the last one as well but only willing to indulge in that way when going with company to see such a show.
