I may be spending too much time on Youtube, I know. I do love the shows available there though, from geek haven The Guild, to wacky Japanese talent shows. The sheer volume of content online means you can find queer-friendly content (or plenty more videos not related to sexuality). 

Right now, I have two videos I find hilarious, about people who are adamantly not gay.

This is a song by Ukulady, called “If I was gay”, written specially for (her Myspace friend?) Bridget McManus on her show. I think plenty of lesbians have been through some of these (or will be!) and can laugh at the cliches that get thrown in here.

If I was gay I’d totally make out with you

I’d touch your cooter and your boobies through your clothes

By the second date I might go below your skirt

But first we’d show each other photos of our cats

We’ll get matching tribal tattoos on our backs

And you’ll show me how to strap on that equipment

And we’ll giggle about my late gay development

(want to hear that second verse?)

 

If I was gay I’d totally make out with you

I’d make you mixed cds and text you all the time

And we’ll drink expensive wine and I’ll move in within a week

And all the lesbians will warn you that I’m straight

But we’ll ignore them because the sex will be great

And we’ll argue about adoption or the turkey baster

And my gay men will be so jealous

And my boyfriend will want to watch us 

 

If I was gay I’d totally make out with you

But since I’m not let’s just be best girlfriends

And I’ll hold your hair back when you barf on New Years Eve

And I’ll set you up with dykes that I keep up my sleeve

And there’ll always be a bit of sexual tension

Cause both of us love the extra attention

(cause we’re comedy whores)

Extra bolded sentences are from me, yes. *whistles*.

The next one is a series on Youtube. It’s brought to you by C Spot (also responsible for the awesome Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine show. I’ve just started watching it, so I can’t comment too much - this is what the website says:

Gaytown - great for gays, sucks for Owen. As a straight man living in a town where gay is normal, how can Owen fit in? He’s quest for acceptance begins in this first episode

Looks promising so far. To produce content like this, and the Ukulady’s song, you need a fair bit of exposure to some of the queer community’s quirks (and I talk as if we’re so different and share One Queer Hive Mind, my bad, I know).

Can you see why I’m on Youtube too much?
