Most would have a problem fighting their way out of a wet-paper bag. Even if – sent in with written directions….

What ever happened to the cowboy/country-western gay aesthetic? When I first started going to gay bars boots, jeans, and cowboy hats co-existed with the leather biker-gear.
The blond would look better if an older, hirsute gentleman in levi’s and a cowboy hat had an arm draped possessively around his shoulder. 😉

These guys resemble wimpy metrosexuals or gay guys trying to butch it up with no success.

Ted B. (#15) That is a fun duet. Thanks. I recall from stumbling across it months ago that one of the two women versions is somewhat acted out, and is even more funny.

Did it die with Perry King and Colt Studio?
Oh, mais non, mon ami. You just have to go to where it can be found. In the interior west, it’s alive and well. Bars such as Charlie’s in Denver, Phoenix, Chicago, and Las Vegas are locally (and nationally) popular and keep the country/western aesthetic going strong. Other cities outside of the coasts also have primarily C&W clubs which do quite well and cater to those members of the community not into EDM, pop, or lounge music. Similarly, events affiliated with the International Gay Rodeo Association often bring those who are into ‘cowboy drag’ together, at least for an occasional weekend. (If anyone thinks C&W attire or lifestyle is dead in the LGBTQXYZ community, just go to the local country watering hole during a gay rodeo event—there’s often a waiting line on par with a Lady Gaga concert.)
An entire doctoral thesis or two could probably be written on the cultural relevance of subtypes in the publicly visible gay community, but I think you can boil it down to what happens to be “in” and “out” at any given time. The cowboy/C&W archetype, along with the cop/biker and Castro Street Clone archetypes seemed to be a counter to the drag/female impersonator persona which marked the start of the modern gay rights movement and which has lately gained traction again with the heightened awareness of transgender issues. Much as The South Shall Rise Again, so too shall the more masculine archetypes. The more interesting question will be how it will manifest itself, since the primary method in days gone by were via magazines (usually softcore pr0n) available at every newsstand and bookstore. What will be the next Honcho or Stallion?

Oh thank the Lords…. Last time I “gay barred” here on the Clinton Archipelago I nearly drowned in a sea of EMO Pajama Boys, “sexually-fluid” snowflakes, and leather poseurs who thought which side their keys-hung was a fashion-choice.
I am an elementary school teacher and you have no idea how close to real this lumberjack video is!!! Lol
That blond kid is hawt!
The title should be : “If Blue State Millennials Were Lumberjacks”

Handing out bandages and showing the natives how to put a condom on a banana?

And now for something completely different …the Lumberjack Song.

Reminds me of this classic zoolander scene from the coal mine.

Oh yes, I noticed the blond guy immediately.
The blond seems quite fey.
Ah, the past …
The Duet for Two Cats.
