There is even a heartthrob: Taylor Lautner. I’m not claiming he’s gay; there’s just something about him. No matter how hard-bodied and abstinent the Twilight franchise tries to make him, it cannot repress the ascending megastar’s yearning sweetness or his droves of swooning boy-fans.

Or his droves of swooning middle-aged gay male fans? ;)
Be still, my beating heart!!

I'm Team Edward, but Taylor does have great teeth.
Is it finally okay to be a 13-year-old sissy?
But it seems that, in our world of niche-entertainment marketing, gay boys are becoming a viable demographic, up there with tween girls and security moms.
Call them Twinkles: preteen boys who may not know they are gay yet, or may not want to say they are gay yet, but who have a gleam in their eye and a definite sensibility.
Twinkles proudly prance, unashamedly emote, high-kick, jazz-hand, belt out “Paparazzi” with piano — everything a gay kid used to do in his bedroom with the door shut.
Maybe the most significant sign of the times is piano-playing sixth grader Greyson Chance, who belted out Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” at his high-school talent show and got a record deal a month later. (I’m not saying he is gay either — but he sure is twinkly.)
"In the last year or so, we’re seeing a proliferation of merchandise targeting young men — clothing and also things like skincare, lotion, and hair products aimed at 12- and 13-year-old boys. We’re also seeing young boys buying things that cross traditional gender lines."
I think the typographic punctuation here should read:
I'm Team Edward, but Taylor does have great....teeth.
:D ;D
Only on TV.
I think the writer makes an excellent case that greater acceptability on TV reflects a real change in popular attitudes and the culture at large.

And to reassure them that they are far from alone.
Happily, no. At least in New York, all five boroughs (and nearly all neighborhoods) are now pretty much Sissy-tolerant.
"I'm gay, she's black. We create culture." ;D
Ain't my heart that needs to be still! :laugh:
(I can say that now that he's turned 18, can't I?)
