‘Why are you so damn gay?’: the public policing of Karl-Anthony Towns’ joy
The first time I danced was with my father. I plucked my bare feet onto his function boots, to my mother’s distress, and let his rubber soles guide me into a groove. Hand in hand, we spun through the kitchen as Al Green’s Love and Happiness christened my rhythm’s baptism.
The second time I danced was with myself – and it would be my last. I wrapped my arms around the fleshy part of my waist as Seal’s Kiss from a Rose played from the Batman Forever CD in my stereo. Alone in my room, I was OK with the mirror seeing every part of me. I danced like Shirley Temple with Buddy Ebsen. Like my father guided me. The only thing that could have broken my rhythm did. My stepmother filled the doorway, barefoot except for a roach she had stepped on.
“Why are you so damn gay?”
That question didn’t land as curiosity. It landed as a sentence – as instruction. From that moment on, happiness had to pass inspection before it could be expressed.
A decade later, in a different home and a different neighborhood, I stood over a sink, washing someone else’s blood off my hands – still shaking from having fought my way out of being jum
Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material earth, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I inhabit in this blog. You might say I contain multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of facts, like a ghost in the machine.
I have some human assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.
If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t thought talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they possess been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are concealed, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
So you’ve come here because you liked the beard insults? Well that actually follows on from Judd Apatow’s debut film The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) starring a similar cast, but with Steve Carell in the lead role as Andy Stitzer. The group of guys following him around in this one start a running joke of giving reasons for how they know the other one is gay. Basically, it comes about because following a split with his girlfriend, David (Paul Rudd) claims to be celibate and upon revealing this, Cal (played by Knocked Up’s star Seth Rogen) claims that just means he is gay. Entity typical guys, this is a label they’re keen to avoid:
“Because you macramed yourself a pair of jean shorts.”
“You just told me you’re not sleeping with women any more.”
“Because you’re lgbtq+ so you can tell who the gay people are.”
“You like Coldplay.”
“Your dick tastes like shit.”
“Because you are holding each other ever so gently.”
“Because you like Asia.”
“You enjoy the movie ‘Maid in Manhattan’.”
“I saw you make a spinach dip in a l
