What causes gay men?

Gaydar is a compound word of gay and radar. As the name implies, the radar for detecting homosexuality is undoubtedly a very important ability for homosexuals to identify whether the other party is gay or not in social communication. This is not a new term. According to the dictionary, it was used in1980s, but I didn't know this word until I arrived in Taipei last year. I was eating at a roadside stall with a friend. Because I heard some rumors that this friend had homosexual tendencies before, I told him a joke, which made him laugh at my insensitivity to gaydar and helped me learn this interesting new word.

Now gaydar obviously belongs not only to homosexuals, but also to ordinary people. This is of course related to homosexuality becoming an open topic, which is a good thing to some extent. At least it shows that homosexuality is no longer regarded as a taboo that can be discussed and expressed, and there is also a corresponding homosexual culture. But gradually, gaydar seems to be a ubiquitous detection device in entertainment topics, and its density is shocking. With The Lord of the Rings, someone discussed the bitter love that two Hobbits developed along the way; Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" makes people sigh that this master of violent aesthetics, who is famous for expressing loyalty in rivers and lakes, has become romantic, and it is also a romance between men. In the newly released Confucius, the scene of Fage holding Ren Quan is reminiscent of the beginning of the love between teachers and students more than 2,000 years ago.

This may be homosexual allergy, but unconsciously, I'm sure I'm infected, too. See Frodo and Sam watery eye contact, always feel that something is wrong. Seeing the end of "Red Cliff", Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Takeshi Kaneshiro are close to each other, which makes me more convinced that this beautiful model named 040 is unnecessary in this film. During the Spring Festival, the news that writer Han Han and magician Liu Qian became best friends was circulated on the Internet. I wonder why I haven't seen those talented dragons make moves yet. Since there was a sensational "Shanghai lovelorn" in the forum, it is not bad to have a "modest dream" to create more glory. These two people look the same. In the words of the ancestors in A Dream of Red Mansions, it is "a hundred harms and no benefits." Make fun of it, make fun of it and molest it. After all, people in the entertainment circle have to find some places to entertain. I have never felt unclean about it.

What makes me want to write something to regulate or liquidate my gaydar started from watching an old movie not long ago. It was a war movie, and there was this passage:

In the dead of night, the candle shadow was shaking in the hut, the cold wind was whistling outside the window, the commander was still studying the battle plan, and the guards sat alone in the corner, pursed their mouths and made a noise on purpose. The commander looked back at him and told him to wax and go to bed. Instead of doing so, the guard reached out and opened the commander's cuff and looked at his watch. The commander threw himself into the battle map and pushed him away. The guard said flatly:

"It's almost three o'clock."

"Oh, I see. Go to sleep! "

"I don't sleep."

"Why?"

"I won't sleep if you don't sleep."

"Don't worry about me."

The guard turned and muttered, "I fought and marched for several days." I can't eat or sleep well. People are not made of iron. How can I care? "

The commander finally turned his eyes from the papers on the desk to the guards: "What happened to you these two days? Why are you so awkward with me? " Go, go to bed! "

The guard looked at the commander, his chest heaved and he walked to the door in a rage. He turned back and said, "I also said that people are at odds with you, and you and yourself ..."

At that time, the political commissar pushed the door and entered the room. "What's the matter, son? Did the commander make you angry again? "

The doorman quickly said, "No ..."

Then the commander and the political commissar studied the battle plan for one night, and the political commissar didn't leave until the chicken crowed outside the window. The commander lit a new candle, and the guard waited by, coughing on purpose. The commander turned to the guard, hesitated a little, finally closed the file and blew out the candles.

Seeing this, my heart stopped laughing, because the way of gazing at each other, blowing lights and leaving darkness for the audience was once the only expression of sex in a movie of a certain era, which is the same as the principle that the camera turns sharply when the lips of the kissing people are together. This film is called Red Sun, which was completed by 1962. It is said that it was the most expensive film at that time, and it was also an early "epic war film". Zhang Fa, who plays the commander Shen Zhenxin, is tall and slim, and used to be a handsome young man on the stage.

Thinking of the problem of gay from the positive image in the red classics, I can't help but reflect on my own gaydar. Although I also comfort myself, Shen Zhenxin's handsome, tall and straight, resolute, and accent with a slight northern accent are all sexy (there was no such standard in the 1960 s); And the doorman is a young man who is a little "niang". Is it normal for such a combination to make people have some associations today? But soon, another old film review made my guilt rise to an unbearable level.

On that occasion, I revisited the character series "Water Margin" shot by Shandong TV Station in the 1980s. Today, it seems that the production of that version of Water Margin is really rough, and the characterization is too simple and positive, which is far from the original novel. But I like those actors, especially Lu, Lin Chonghe. They are my childhood idols. Reliving old dramas after many years is naturally not as exciting as those years. Strangely, when I saw the scene of the wild pig forest, I suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment that I didn't have in those years. It is clearly written in the novel that Lin Chong was escorted to Cangzhou with Lu. Lu Da inquired that there was no secluded place on the road. Only after parting with Lin Chong in the pine forest and giving the money to his brother did he break the pine tree to relieve the police. This just "dragged the mord and shouted' Brother, take care' and went back". After reading this article, I only feel that a reckless and meticulous, frank and affectionate Lu is coming out. But I don't know why, this farewell scene in the TV series is particularly lengthy. The two big men held hands tightly and shed tears, which was nothing. What I can't stand most is that Lu Da has gone away, and Lin Chong even called "Brother" to chase him out, and finally it was a lingering affair. A fat monk who hates evil and hates enemies broke off diplomatic relations with 800,000 imperial sects like children. I can't help but remember when I look at it.

Then I watched a few episodes in dribs and drabs, and felt that something was wrong with Song Wuhe, Emperoy, Sung River and Huarong, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu. It's absolutely no problem to play "The Water Margin with Broken Arms". Even the black whirlwind made me numb to a "brother" of Sung River. What happened? This is my favorite TV series. In a panic, I turned off my cell phone and faced the wall. There is no doubt that there is something wrong with my gaydar.
