Queers in the Hospital



Now, I have not taken an official poll or read any statistics, but it seems like there are a large number of homosexual/bisexual persons working as in semi-skilled and skilled positions in the hospital.

There's always been the "gay male nurse" stereotype and the joke about big butch "Helga" who is going to give you a bath.

But beyond stereotypes, just looking around at the hospitals I rotate there are quite a few persons who register a bleep on my gaydar. (Being queer myself I usually have a fairly accurate gaydar).

Maybe the hospital environment, with its traditionally feminine, nurturing nursing environment, has been safer than other job sites for persons to come out of the closet.

Any ideas from my dear readers?

My favorite queer is an Asian man in his early 20's. This man defines the word flaming. He is also gorgeous, six feet tall, broad chest, tiny waist, tight bubble butt and a handsome face.

He was hot and he knows it. And he lets all of us know he knows it.

Flamer doesn't walk around the unit- he prances. I love the guy.

One time my teacher and I passed him in the hall, prancing his best and sashaying his hiney. After we walked by, my instructor giggled, "He reminds me of a Prize Rooster, just strutting his stuff!"

We stifled out laughs in our jackets until we could make it to the elevator.
