I was shocked to discover a 3 minute and 36 second video that encapsulates the struggle that Cypher Avenue has had to endure from the stereotypical effeminate gay public. The brilliant sketch comedy show Key & Peele of Comedy Central was able to visually bring to life through comedy the dynamic that exist between loud, attention seeking, flamboyant gay men and masculine gay men.  When many gay men use the word “regular” i.e. “I’m looking for a regular guy” they are referring to the non-flamboyant man in this sketch played by Peele.   It’s hard for the general gay mainstream public to understand, we are not internally homophobic, externally homophobic, or even effemiphobic we are just “phobic” of you.
