 Russell Tovey is a successful British actor I admire and whose career I follow. He is openly gay, also. Here he is pictured with his older brother Daniel at a charity fund raising event in which they took part. Russell Tovey may be gay, but as he commented recently, he is masculine and happily so. Good for him. I am gay, masculine and happily so too. I am masculine, but not what you would call a "man's man." I was called "fairy," "faggot," "pansy," "queer" among other things over the years, because I prefer classical music and theatre to sports. However, that said, I do not like show tunes, drag and have no use for Judy Garland. I am an amateur actor and play heterosexual characters on stage. I once played a homophobic Catholic priest in a play called "Strange Gods." I am a gun owner and hunter and have a black belt in taekwondo. I dress conservatively and have what is called a "straight appearance." Effeminate men, whether they are gay or straight, do not bother me. Why is it an issue that Russell Tovey and any other number of gay men like me are happily masculine and not ashamed of it?
