Except that they won't because it's all about them feeling validated. Every one of these studs needs their maleness hotness validated by attending Camp Boomerang.

Yeah, I know, it's part of the illness. The lengths to which people go for control over others is astonishing. I'm predicting there's going to be a rollout of media campaigns to "re-educate" people about their own sexualities, in the vein of anti-drug school programs, commercials and storylines in television shows. The "Shameless" transman plotline was just that...all of the queer characters had open contempt for the gay character, and the script was written to show him as a clueless, bumbling idiot who had "a lot to learn." The audience was clearly supposed to empathize with the trans character shooting down his reasons for not wanting to hook up, which was surprising considering how unlikeable and condescending the trans character was. From what I've heard from others who watched the show more closely, it was very out of character for him too. He was basically re-written r the purposes that plotline.
