Quote of the day - Being ourselves, even stereotypically

"We're not actors, we're just guys on a TV show being
ourselves. We don't claim to represent the entire gay
community. There's no way five people could do that.
We do happen to work in fashion and beauty industries
-- that's just who we are as five guys. It's important
though for us to be able to be ourselves. If that
means that in some way we sometimes embody these
stereotypes then so be it, because if it's not OK to
sometimes be stereotypical -- whatever that means --
then it's allowing a fearful straight community to
dictate to me how I should behave.
-- Kyan Douglas
