Marke & Richard sells slutty T-shirts targeted at gay guys. The shirts might get the wearers laid faster, but unfortunately they reinforce age-old prejudices about homosexuals being sex-crazed degenerates unfit to be around children or to manage responsibility. (May I remind you of the Boy Scout's ban on gay scoutmasters, or the CEO of Barilla Pasta's disapproval of gay people adopting children because the child is helpless against it).
Sadly, too many gay men I know are swishy glitterati who snub anyone without enough muscles, get distracted easily by anyone taking selfies with an iPhone, and tend to call out from work whenever they're hungover or get a spontaneous booty-call. They cancel plans last-minute on their friends, they bail when needed, their frazzled dramatics rarely help a situation, they can't avoid sex talk in public (always with faux lisp and hiss), and too many can't help but always be "on".
They wonder why our gay culture isn't taken seriously. Walking in high heels, having a limp wrist, acting like 14-year-old boys (while usually keeping company of immature girls), and partying like animals doesn't help.

So, when they proudly/defiantly don such clothing, it doesn't send an encouraging message to the outside community. Why do they insist on pricking social niceties to live up to such a stereotype? Why are these "in your face" clothes so wildly popular?
Evidently, those clothes go along with gay culture's body shaming phenomenon--with peer pressure to ignore people who look different... as well as those who don't act high-pitched or down-and-dirty enough.
As I've said before, whenever you search online for a Gay Bar, you'll undoubtedly find sexual images/warnings. Truly, "gay bar culture" is more of a groping basement-party striptease than a cocktail lounge or cozy pub. Guys dress and behave purely sexually... on substance-abuse overdrive.
The average "gay scene" is a bit like Caligula's palace of trysts.
It all marks a stigma upon future generations of homosexuals to deal with, while having few upstanding role models.
Gay youth wonder why they're expected to behave that way?
