Young bloggers should think before posting.

I always get such a thrill over people making assumptions about a life that is unfamiliar to them, especially when they attempt to write it as nonfiction when we all know for a goddamn fact that it's without a doubt a mediocre fiction piece at best. The piece I'm referring to today happens to come from a naive boy named Dalton Heinrich. I found it extremely hard to take this blog serious due to the lack of credibility on his part. Who is Dalton Heinrich? What has he done? What does he do now? Inquiring minds would like to know. If you're going to make accusations, or just randomly gossip about people in general, make sure you let us in on some facts or at least have something to back up your claims.

The piece I'm referring to comes from a blog posted earlier this month on www.gayguys.com (how fitting). Heinrich discusses his "social note taking," and the observations he's made when it comes to gay men. Hmmm....well, with all this note taking, you'd think he'd be able to give us at least one quote or blurb from some of these gay men he has taken "notes" on. Yet he has nothing to back up his claims. The following is an exert from Heinrich's blog,

"The gay community is great at a lot of things. We are experts at fashion, we are brilliant at design, we are flawless in social networking, and we are professionals when it comes to throwing a party. As a community we thrive under pressure. As a whole we have beaten the odds with almost everything thrown our way. But one thing I have realized in my social note taking is that we are absolutely horrible when it comes to growing up."

We are all these things according to whom? These are all common generalizations about the gay community. Why is he stereotyping the community, when many of us, myself being one, have tried to overcome the stereotypes placed on the gay community. Since neither one of us is an expert on this, but pointing fingers and assuming seems to be ok with Heinrich, let me go ahead and put in my two-cents and decipher his opening statement.

"We are experts at fashion..." GAY! "We are brilliant at design..." MORE GAY! "We are flawless in social networking..." MOST GAY! (And this next one takes the cake) "We are professionals when it comes to throwing a party..." translates to - Although gay men cannot hold a job, nor a relationship, and seem to prey on younger men, they can at least have a good time doing it all. SHUT THE FUCK UP! Who the fuck is this stupid kid?

This link above will take you to the blog that I'm sure will have many distinguished gay gentlemen laughing, and any other gay man older than the author, thinking this kid has a lot to experience and learn about life. I particularly like how he diagnoses the men he's observed with Peter Pan Syndrome (PPS), an actual disorder for men, much like that of The Wendy Dilemma which parallels the way women treat men. If he knew exactly what PPS was, he'd know that there's much more rooted into a man diagnosed with PPS, than just "going clubbing," and looking for young gay men to make "a new addition to their dating pool."

I suggest you discuss PPS with a professional, perhaps Beaumont Psychological Services, P.C. Nowhere in this blog does Heinrich give us a clue as to his age, so it's impossible for the reader to make any kind of analysis about the author vs. the subject. He also asks in his blog, "why as a culture, are the majority of us not having children and planning our future?" I would think the answer to his question would have been answered long ago with all his "note taking." What happened, Heinrich? Did you lose your notes. Here's a bit of advice. When you take notes for a story, they should be kept for a good ten years or so.

He also states, "since the beginning of my social existence a large portion of my friends had been older than myself. I had always just assumed that I was mature for my age when in actuality I think most of the gay men I associated with had never mentally passed the age of 25."

Well young man, here's my official response to you, as a non-expert reader of your irrational blog on the matter: A) All your gay friends were much older because nobody your own age could ever take you seriously. B) Older men allowed you into their circle because you had no brains, but you did offer a pretty face to look at. I call this, The Barbie Syndrome (TBS). C) A lot of gay men whom I've actually talked to, have said they have no interest in having children of their own. If you've ever taken the time to read any official studies, you would probably notice that gay men can attribute their wealth/success on the fact that they have no kids. Some gay men are happy with the fact that they have nephews and nieces to spoil. In fact, I know for a fact that I DO NOT want children of my own, and came up with that conclusion many years back.

And finally, Heinrich, I end on this note: Try talking to older men when you go out, and maybe REALLY take notes so that when you decide to respond to my semi-well thought out response to your piece-of-crap blog, you can have some kind of testimonials to back up your shit. Instead of going around telling older gay men to grow up, maybe you should pick up a book, or read a publication every now and then. You might learn some ACTUAL facts.
