Gay Vs. Straight: Are You a Flaunter?

[@arielle]

You go Davey!

[@aragornthebrave]

This video is too clever for most people to understand (see comments below.) It's the same reason people don't get Family Guy. By pointing out the contradictions and double-standards of society thru humour, you actually have a bigger impact than simply saying it. But then I think, so many people don't get it, is it worth it... Well, I liked it :)

[@thedogisaneldritchgod491]

aragornthebrave Satire IS humor for the intelligent after all. :D

[@aragornthebrave]

Johnny Nguyen One might say... ;)

[@NFournaridis]

I am a straight male, in my early 20's. All I have to say is, good for you! I'm glad you are able to live your life being comfortable and happy with who you are. Nothing makes me angrier than people who try to bury and hide who they really are - just because, they think "society" or, the people around them, will look down upon it. This applies to any situation, not explicitly homosexuality. I hope you always continue to be secure, confident and happy with yourself, as you should be.

[@StevieMosh]

You are fantastic, and you make awesome points. All the love for Davey Wavey, all the love.

[@stuyone]

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant! My favorite of all your postings Davey

[@ReflxStudios]

Never saw these videos before, I'm not gay but I have major respect for this guy. He has so much to say and it's so meaningful :) Keep it up!

[@Dark6x6]

Very good point Davey. This video should be on a video billboard in Time Square!

[@hamishpets]

I'm straight, but your show is hilarious and I love the fact that you help guys and girls across the world realise it's ok to express their true self!

[@Iflip4starkid]

[@intheraeyne]

Davey is known for being extremely sarcastic, playing hard on stereotypes and should never be taken seriously. Well; should usually not be taken seriously. But he is approaching a serious topic in a goofy manner. It doesn't matter that he's talking about specifically; he's tackling the subject of double-standards in general.

[@KiRAWRa]

(2/2) The best explanation I can give for why you hear more about straight couples than gay couples is simply the fact that being straight is far more accepted than being gay. You never know what kind of drama will be stirred up when the subject of homosexuality comes up, so most people would just prefer to not talk about it at all.

[@bblivid]

Very true. A lot of people have told me, "I don't have anything against gay people, but I don't like the ones that flaunt it." They've told me that they're talking about the ones with lisps, and are exaggerated in a "gay way." The fact that you have that caveat is an excuse to be hateful. And it is super hypocritical when they don't hate on pulchritudinous women for being voluptuous or buff men for wearing shirts that show muscle. It's a part of who some people are. Normal is subjective.

[@NotYowBusiness]

I expected the CSI "YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" after you put on your glasses again. You disappoint me, Davey.

[@itsjustmetv]

Amen! Amen! Amen! I love this video message. Well done. OMG. this was AMAZING. and the end was freakin hilarious! !

[@emiliabedelia4]

whats wrong with wearing wedding rings? my parents always have and I dont think of it as them "flaunting their straightness" its showing love and dedication to your significant other (whether you be straight or gay). and sure PDA can get annoying when its way over the top... but if your married and your holding hands while you take a walk, theres nothing wrong with that

[@suracs]

He's not wining about straight couples showing affection, that's why he said he was being facetious. He merely said they were being held to a different standard.

[@KismetLizard]

I'm straight and LOVED that awesome parody section. It was spot on, Davey! I really hate people who use that "I don't hate gays-"and you can hear the 'but' before they say it (but lol gay pun) in high school I shouted down a classroom because some of my peers said such a thing (group discussion was gay marriage) and I TORE into them as they kept digging "I don't mean it's bad but it's not natural" Well sweetie neither is that weave but you have no problem shoving it our collective faces.

[@jessiescloset]

Hey Davey! Did you hear about California and Prop 8 getting overturned?

[@StyrathiX]

I love your video's, and I just have to say that your logo is beautiful (:

[@DaibhiW]

Whoa, I didn't expect that ending. Good thing I didn't have any food in my stomach. BTW, while you were talking the wind was blowing the hell out of that big tree behind you. It's like the tree was all stirred up about your topic.

[@mickeytenn7]

you just said all i've been thinking about lately, it makes me feel so repressed when people say this kind of things or act accordingly, thanks :)

[@plackersmilkymilknes]

i agree! im straight, but its so annoying when people talk about that stuff. anyone - gay, straight, lesbian, or bi dont need to flaunt in public. i love you davey (:

[@xAngelWingsxx]

It's not that they are flaunting their sexuality, they're flaunting the fact that they have a special someone. It's the truth for many couples, whether gay or straight.

[@terrywilkins281]

O.O omg.... My eyes are opened. You are so right.... Thank you Davey, I Love You

[@09yulstube]

emm I have a question: I'm using this video on a biology work (to talk about society's taboos and double standards) but my mates don't speak english -I'm from Argentina- so I need to put subs on it. I hat to admit it but that word you said "Look it up", I tried to, but I don't know how to spell it and I don't know the meaning. PLEASE HELP!!

[@bshaq1512]

Thank you! I told my dad that straight people flaunt their relationships way more than gay men. I think because society shuns gay men flaunting their relationships. But flaunt it! Love shouldn't have a standard

[@xPandaPatchx]

You need to finish your description :) your link to your blog is cut off :)

[@SamvanStrien]

This is completely, completely true. I've told this to my straight friends and they are completely confused about the idea, with straight people being outwardly 'i like football, lesbians' blahblah... while gay people get accused of acting a certain way of they don't follow there lifestyle!

[@dr4m4g33k]

I agree. Double-standards are awful. I think gay couples showing affection in public is every bit as adorable as straight couples. If not, more so because I commend their bravery.

[@mano4488]

Great video! I should it to several of my friends and they all laughed. Its funny to show straight people how it feels to be on the opposite end of a conversation like this.

[@joeyjose727]

Davey you are one of my biggest inspirations

[@congrego]

Where are you in this video? The background is so pretty! Let your flame burn Davey!!

[@RealVampiresBurn]

My grandmother told me once that she "didn't hate gay people but didn't want them flaunting it by getting married or holding hands in public". -.-

[@ollS2llo]

@RandomlyAnimated Of course... If they think gay marriage is wrong why should I think regular marriage is right?

[@Shmiddler]

I'm glad you acknowledged you were being faciscious (probably mispelled), you are a very mature gay man

[@CrazyCanadianEhh]

"they wear their wedding rings" im pretty sure anyone would wear their wedding ring if they were married...

[@Spiqen]

I love how my recommendations is a cat video, trailer for sekai ichi hatsukoi and another daveywavey video! XD

[@TheBassHeavy]

Great message and great ending!

[@asena123]

lol - the end grossed me out Davey!!! Wrong'en!

[@biba1baba2buba3]

actually... as you say flaunting is just living our life, I honestly don't care what sex you prefer or what you do

[@mapledork729]

lol the wind in the background was perfect! :) lol gave the perfect effect

[@pbandjmurphy]

This is a great video, and something I hadn't really considered before.

[@DarkW0lverine]

As a straightie, there's nothing I hate more than seeing couples being affectionate in public

[@OLDS98]

Point taken. Yes, that is pretty much what is being said.. Hide who you are. You have every right in this day and age to express your feelings for your loved one and not be made to feel left out or awkward.

[@Tigatron08]

What heterosexuals can't understand I'm guessing is that we don't live our lives based on our sexuality. It doesn't define us, but it is a part of who we are just like your heterosexuality is a part of who you are. We're exactly the same. Sad that people can't see that.

[@musicismylove92]

wow, so many people are hating on you for flaunting your sexuality...when your entire point seems to be that flaunting is perfectly normal and okay, but that everyone sees straight flaunting as fine, and gay flaunting as not...which is uncool...

[@Solonneysa]

Annee who are you talking to? I don't think you watched the whole video. He was being sarcastic (aka facetious as he said around 1:09 in the video).

[@fergieestaenlacasa]

What about you? Your whole life is also based on being straight. Or do you not talk about you crush/girlfriend/wife/kids at all, and have never in your life?

[@MarioMatt19]

@Koolkid736 Well actually, I'm a girl who let her friend choose her user name (bad idea) so she dicided on Matt from Death Note! And now I dont know how to change it! I'm sorry for the confusion!

[@bluetooth333123]

[@RenatusTlachcoteca]

Last year in Mexico when we were debating about gay marriage in Mexico City it happened there was a peer of couples making out in the subway. One was straight and the other one was gay. Then it came this guy and started annoying the gay ones and police said nothing about that. So my friend decided to do the same with the straigth couple and police asked him to stop bother them. Now gay marriage is legal in Mexico City, but i think is the same with authorities.

[@jaggass]

Whats wrong with a straight couple kissing?

[@TukaihaHithlec]

I think people showing affection for each other is perfectly fine. I don't see what's wrong with holding hands in public. Kissing I can kinda see but it's not that bad, is it? They don't do it to flaunt it or obsess or brag about it. they're just showing their feelings for each other.

[@EdNortonisMineLol]

I absolutely love this video - you've got a really good point :)

[@Rayvontae]

AWESOME video dude!

[@TEnoch29]

I HAVE THOSE GLASSES! haha LOVE THEM! ...you got them from a street vender in NYC, didn't you?? :D

[@darkhunga]

Did you borrow Scotty Dynamos glasses?

[@hannahjhonson8524]

i actually can't tell if this video is meant as a joke or not..? what do you mean flaunting? why can't people who are in a relationship just hold hands/kiss/whatever in public without people getting all offended. that isn't a question of gay v.s. straight its a question of please calm down and let that couple do what they want. yes i am speaking as a straight female but honestly i don't see how thats flaunting. just why can't we all get along and let people do their own thing and shut up

[@Reyendo]

I suppose it's stupid, but I just don't like overly-affectionate couples, whatever their sexual preference. It makes them seem like they need validation from an external source, or like they're trying to fool themselves into believing their relationship is better than it is.

[@hppotclotrluver]

I completely agree Davey Wavey!!!! You're awesome!!!!!!

[@LollyWalesATL]

I think u got the wrong idea about flaunting pictures of your kids and talking about weddings, engagements, etc... People are just proud/ happy/ excited about these topics and just want to share the happiness with other people! Sp

[@matthewjay660]

Facetious AND satirical, Davey. Keep going.

[@TheChildfreeCurlyGirl]

Am I the only straight female who is a HUGE fan of Davey??

[@navronin13]

I love the content and the delivery. One question, why aren't you clothed?

[@katlinhua]

XD So true. Meh, I'm a straight girl that "flaunts" too, I guess. But I Really Don't give a crap if your gay or straight, I just see it as showing your love for your loved one. I actually find it really cute and brave seeing a gay couple so their affection in public without caring about being judged.

[@AnneeRSilver]

(In my opinion): Sexuality is sexuality. If it shouldn't matter your sexual orientation as a gay male, then why should mine as a straight female? And if you fight for your rights to get married as a gay couple (which I am not adverse to) or show affection to your partner, why is it an issue when a straight couple does the same? I think you're facetted upon the idea of your own sexuality and what people think of it (b/c of the differentiation between straight and gay) you see it as showing off.

[@will1gtz]

HAHAHA your parents at the end!!! that was the best!!!

[@JKwiatkowski94]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT. omg. i never thought about it.

[@Rishro29]

I'm straight and I hate when I see ANY people smooching around nastily in public and when someone constantly is talking about their gf/bf. But holding hands in public and wearing wedding rings isn't flaunting. When I'm holding my BF's hand in public I'm not like "OMGLOOKATMEAND MYBOYFRIIIENNDD". I don't agree with people hating on gays at all but a lot of what you say on this video is stereotypical against straights. It's like me saying all gays wear super bright clothes. Both are untrue.

[@CapnCrunch_Esports]

Where'd you get those Wayfarers?

[@patricializet2011]

@TheGreatAlastor I wish I remembered I actually had a professor give us an article for my soc class but I'm sure if you google it and look for medical journals you can find it, it also states that sometimes people who are gay have far more estrogen than testosterone and vise-versa for women whom are more attracted to females.

[@cutewitch772]

This is my favorite argument EVER. I give people this SAME speech all the time. I never thought about the showing pictures of children thing, though lol. I am so glad this video exists today. I needed a laugh. EW at the ending. Did not know that was happening.

[@depga]

nice to see that you now have corporate sponsorship with the "ad" at the beginning of the video. Enjoy the money.

[@Kelabete]

I was freaking out at first. I was like "Davey!!!!" and then I felt better! For the record, everytime I hear the phrase "Double standard" I will be inclined to refer to your Double Standard (Rainbow) reference.

[@granolabarone]

So true. I love the double rainbow joke at the end. My friends have had so much fun with that video!

[@fridaloktu856]

It would be soo awesome if you were my best friend! not because you're gay(cuz sexuality doesnt matter), but because you are the most awesome, funny and honest person on all of KZbin!

[@youcantstealmyname]

you are so right, in the beginning i was confused, but youre soo right.

[@RaiShaunaMartin97]

I agree with you so much. It just isn't fair that EVERYONE can't show their love to their partner out in public with out it being crime not caring who you like or what you like. I wouldn't that gay people should be able to walk around kissing and holding hands un-judged because I mean everyone is always going to have their own opinion. I just mean that if you have something to say keep it in your head or tell one of friends what you think. Don't ruin their spark ,

[@DenTehMan]

I myself am a straight male, and don't flaunt it in public. Sure I show my girlfriend that I love her as many times as possible, but I know what feelings it could cause to other people if we would just flaunt it... Anyway, I know for a fact that some gay people flaunt it just as frequently as straight people. It's a matter of individual difference and freedom - not of sexual preference.

[@cnr200220062011]

i personally wish everyone would leave their personal ish private. No one needs to see your love life on display. Everyone stop flaunting your ish.... it doesn't mean you love each other any more than the people that keep it private, regardless of sexuality.

[@cookeemunsterful]

At first, I COMPLETELY objected this video, until you said that when gays do it, it's different. To an extent, that's true. But, just to throw this out there, just because straight people kiss in public, doesn't mean that they're flaunting it, it just means that they want to be close to the person they're dating because they're not afraid to show that they love each other, or simply care in public. It's more confidence then showing off.

[@efrisina]

you kind of remind me of the kid from the sixth sense.. love the vids :) i watch all of the time!

[@idunno22909]

100% in agreement :P Even though I'm not a queen or even a moderate flamer (everyone was completely astounded I was gay before I started dating), I think that if thats who you are, then go for it.

[@blueeyesaf]

My dad thinks I'm gay but I'm not. Does anyone have any advise for me? I don't care if others think I'm gay but I don't want my dad to think I'm gay. My uncle is gay so I have no problem with gays but I don't want my dad to think I'm gay cuz, well he'ss my dad, is there any other reason needed? I act kind of flamboyant and I frolick but I am straight, despite what a few people believe. I don't care what others think of me but I do care about what my parents think of me. HELP!!!

[@dumblittlefox]

fucking thank you I hate how society is so obsessed with the idea of having to be right one way or the other, when in reality if all we want is happiness why don't we just shut up and judge each other based on things like personality and how we treat others rather than someones sexuality

[@nellyfurtado4lyfe]

I saw a gay couple together once, I didn't know if I should go upto them and say "you two are sooo cute" or not. (I really wanted to though) I just thought they'd get mad or something. >.

[@Jai452]

when you've seen one child you've seen them all

[@RandomlyAnimated]

@ollS2llo Ok so when i get older and decide to settle down and maybe consider marrying my long time girlfriend it's wrong ? wow that's just straight up WRONG.

[@CaptnJack]

@Jrto66 But you missed his point. He is saying this about straight people because that is what straight people say about gay people.

[@MeanKno]

@valerakukatov You do realize he was trying to make a point and wasn't actually saying that straight people flaunt their straightness right?

[@capedpunkster]

bwhahaha I loved the part... well i loved the whole thing BUT, when you interjected with "Look it up"

[@thereyahaveit8808]

i for one am 100% comfortable with both gay and straight people talking about their sexuality. but i do get a bit uncomfortable when i see people like making out in front of me and stuff. i don't care if it's a gay couple or a straight couple, i just don't like that.

[@Onewingedangel1000]

Personally regardless of any sexual orientation I get annoyed by any couple at times :P and again regardless of sexual orientation we all are capable of "flaunting" so its not just one in particular.

[@DieselWhits]

What wrong with being obsessed with being straight not being mean but

[@JRit69]

he's saying he feels that it should be ok for gay people to do that...

[@jimisru]

Look up the heterosexual questionnaire online.

[@aperilousfixation]

Why do you feel that you must do all of your vids without a shirt on? Are you trying to make a statement?

[@roxylover444]

what if they just want to show their affections.? their not trying to rub it in ur face

[@kujientourage]

wow, he actually put on a shirt (sort of) when talking to his parents!
