Follow Up 3 – Gayyyyyyyy

I think that this has alot to do with yesterdays post.


I think the logic here goes something like this:


If tagging is an inherently masculine activity, then it must be done by males (or the occasional tomboy, as epitomized by lady pink, the first lady of graff.)


Therefore, when a tagger encounters a work on the street, they can safely assume the creator of it is another male- and any male deviating from manly tagging- even if the deviation is to paint a hot n’ sexy lady- is gay.


Or a fag. A gay fag. It’s a deviation from the hetro-tagging normative. I’m a queer homostencual!
