I've always wondered: why are gay guys so enamored with actresses/female characters? If you've ever been to a website called The Film Experience, Nathaniel Rogers is obsessed with actresses and a gay friend of mine is the same way.

Well, even though I'm gay, I'm not like that, but I can understand it. Misogyny is one of the core issues at the heart of homophobia - gay men are perceived as more feminine and, by extension, weaker. Strong female characters are empowering for a lot of gay men simply because they fight against the weak=woman (and sissy 'mos) logic a lot of us are exposed to, especially growing up...
