That may have been YOUR attraction to the Who. It was not completely mine. My attraction to the Who has always been because they were a "thinking man's" rock band. Pete Townshend is the poster child for the Nerd Who Rocks. That always rang true with me.
Quote: It sounds like you're uncomfortable to the culture to which you belong.
I'm not comfortable with that aspect of the gay culture (though, frankly, I feel it's a small part) because of the stereotypes it maintains. Being gay isn't about you and your buddies painting yourself like a rainbow flag, wearing speedos to show off your cocks, and parading down High St. in Columbus. It isn't about a drag softball game. I don't feel pride watching these things, I feel pity, that these men and women engage in this behavior and think it displays to the world how proud they are of being gay.
