Gay male nurse stereotype?

Two of my ex-boyfriends are former U.S. Marines......(Just for the record, I am a gay man).

Can we just get over the straight vs gay thing? I'm straight and have gay friends at work and outside the hospital. The more we postulate on stereo-types, the more we perpetuate them--esp as guys in nursing. I'm really not concerned with what my pts think about my sexuallity, just that I'm giving them the best care I can-and being a brother to all the comrades of my care team.

Dude,

You rock. Thanks for being so genuine and for busting stereotypes. I bet some sensitive female is going to snap you up!
A dude who actually wants to see a chick film! ROCK ON BUDDY!

Wow, how'd you fool them??</p>
LOL j/k - all in good fun...

Stereotypes are based on misconceptions. Be genuine. Be Yourself. Be a Competent Nurse. Nobody will care who you sleep with. If people are curious be flattered..........that means you are important enough to them that they are curious. Life goes by quickly, don't spend it worried about what anyone thinks of you. LIVE YOUR LIFE BOLDLY my friend! People respond to goodness no matter what package it is wrapped in......black, white, yellow, thin, fat, tall, short, straight, gay, male, female, transgendered. We are all people and all of us deserve dignity and respect. Thank you for bringing this topic up my brotha! Now get out there and do good work!

I would PERSONALLY rather have a COMPETENT nurse, I don't care what package he or she comes in!

Remember to love yourself.

I'm actually already married.

And I draw the line at chick flicks. They aren't fit to be considered art.
