Why are hipsters so gay

Hipster, that pop cultural pastiche more recently defined by trucker hats, skinny jeans and PBR, has been making headlines recently.

New York magazine offered up an especially fascinating take — in the past tense — that suggests hipsterism is practically dead. It may be more common than you think. Throughout the mid-to-late 20th century in America, hip was generally associated with brooding James Dean types of the Silver Screen who, with one look, could sum up the soul of teen angst.

Many of these hip guys have also faced swirling rumors about their sexuality. South Philly and Northern Liberties also seem to have attracted their share of hipsters and gays interested in, among many other things, craft beer and irony. But what about the gipster specifically?

Is there such a thing? By nature, hipsters tend to be a fairly liberal-minded lot, and among them exists a pantheon of characters, like the vegans, the tweedies they look like Sherlock Holmeslumberjacks real big beardsurban gardeners, stitchers, bitchers, microbrewers and, yes, even gays and lesbians and a whole lot of bisexuals.

What Happened to the Hipsters?

In some ways the hipster scene in Philly, however straight and however white and middle-class it tends to be at times, is also pretty accepting of LGBT people. But how does one describe the gay hipster exactly? Have gays, by being on the fringe of society, naturally integrated into the hipster scene?

And are gay male hipsters different from lesbian ones? Also, statistically either a Taurus or a Gemini. Can speak more than one or two languages. French and Swedish are very common; the former nearly mandatory. The Golden Girls and Roseanne are most common. Librarians in later life; known for sense of fashion.

Sound familiar? By bucking the trends against Nellie queens, muscle Marys or diesel dames and lipstick lesbians, is there something good to be said for what has essentially become the butt of jokes in The Hipster Handbook? And are gay hipsters — gipsters — in their vests and Jeff caps actually almost sort of kind of…cool?
