body positive zone: Gay Men and Body Image →
withquestionablewit:
Think of the first ten gay men you’ve seen portrayed by the media. How many are thin? How many are fat? If you can think of more than two fat gay men who were more than side characters, you’re already doing better than I am.

EDIT: iwilnotshavemyvaginamerelysaid this to me in a reiteration of hat she saw someone else say on tumblr. I never heard it before and thought it was cool, so credit is due where it's due--I just like the concept. :D
