According to stupid people, the worst thing a man can be is feminine. WE know that's BULLSHIT! Nelly men are AWESOME!

I started this tribe as a small step toward countering all the negative crap nelly men and boys, indeed all queer men, have to endure just to be ourselves.

Are you tired of all that self-hating "straight-acting, straight-appearing" nonsense? Sick of "real men," gay or straight, who think there's only one narrow, frightened way to be a man, and who perpetuate all that hateful old homophobic bullshit? It takes a hell of a lot more guts to live your life as an out and proud sissy man than as an uptight macho dork.

This is a tribe for celebrating the hotness of gay-acting, gay-appearing men and for us butchier guys who love 'em. You don't have to be a nelly man to join, just nelly-positive*. I'm kind of a big butch lug, myself, and I started this group. In my case, opposites definitely attract!

This is a tribe for queer men who love being men and who aren't afraid to be their fabulous gay-acting, gay-appearing selves. It's for men who can't "pass" as straight and don't want to! It's a tribe for applauding their strength and their softness, their courage and their grace. It's about that amazing, sexy blend of butch and femme in a yummy male package. And it's for all fags, wherever you fall on the butch/femme scale, to appreciate and celebrate your inner and/or outer queen.

We say, "FLAME ON!!"

*Girls who adore sissy boys are welcome, too :)
