In the world of stereotypes, there are a few professions where there’s a presumption that if you’re man doing it, you’re gay – such as hairdressing or fashion design. However as you’d expect, while there may be more gay men than the average in those jobs, straight people take them up too.
The documentary ‘Gay Lives of Straight Guys’ takes a look at a selection of straight men who’ve taken on what are often considered gay professions, and now we’ve got a trailer for it. After all, there’s no law that says you’ve got to prefer the same gender to work in gay bar.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘A new generation of men is turning the tables on the catch phrase “That’s so Gay!” feeling free to explore professions, friendships and lifestyles once considered strictly off-limits to the hetero-male. In careers such as hairstyling and fashion design to personal appearance, straight dudes are finding a new freedom to express their true talents in areas often reserved for gay men, making friends for the first time across the sexual divide and discovering a new emotional freedom. “Gay Lives of Straight Guys” is documentary that explores these changing attitudes and more through the compelling and intriguing stories of men brave enough to break down barriers and become pioneers in the melting pot of cultures.
Gay Lives of Straight Guys premieres in the US on Tuesday, June 10th on LOGO TV.
