<\/div>\nFrom Bothell, Washington (a suburb of Seattle): “Why do gays wear black boots?”<\/p>\n
I can tell that it was written by someone who is not well educated and who is straight — the pejorative term “gays” is a give-away to both conclusions.<\/p>\n
Now, to address the question. Well, there is no answer for stupid assumptions. Honestly, where do some people come up with this garbage?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\nMost men’s boots come in black or brown, and you’ll find cowboy boots with more colors — the most common besides black and brown is black cherry, cognac (orange-burnished), tan, and there are also men’s boots that have inlays or accents of blue, red, white, and other colors.<\/p>\n
So, ding-dong from Bothell, hear this:<\/p>\n
Not all men’s boots are black.<\/p>\n Not all gay men wear boots.<\/em><\/p>\n Granted, most motorcycle boots are black — but then again, I would venture to say that the vast majority of bikers who wear black boots are not gay.<\/p>\n Gay men who wear boots wear more colors of boots than only black. Sheesh — look at my cowboy boot<\/a> and motorcyle boot<\/a> collections. I have boots of all colors. And I’m gay. So what?<\/p>\n Get an education, friend. Wise up and then go speak with some gay men. You may be surprised to learn that they’re people too, much like you — and me!<\/p>\n Disclaimer: I have been to Bothell, Washington, and know that most of the people there are fine, upstanding, well-educated people. There are exceptions everywhere, so this post was not meant to take a swipe at everyone who lives or works in Bothell. I betcha you can find some equally ignorant people near where I live, too. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Life is short: stop looking for stereotypes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This stuff drives me nuts, but honestly, I don’t pay much attention and do not let it bother me because I do not suffer fools well.
