Reblogged from standupforwomen :

While we would usually steer clear of homohelp - they tend to pander to stereotype and push the edges of offensive (suggesting you can tell a girl is gay because she listens to Tegan and Sara, for example); as well as being exclusive to those outside the stereotype-fulfilling gay male - sometimes they get something right. (That is to say, there is nothing wrong with fulfilling a stereotype, but you cannot claim to want to include everyone and help everyone, then go and make insinuations and blanket statements at those who do not fulfil your opinion of their identity).
