An intriguing question about Fagland is why so many fags lean to the political left – in other words, some local variation of “socialist”, “democrat” or “liberal”.

1.  What The Fags Say

Their answers can be summarized as follows:

*Fag points to the local fag rag, itself heavily left leaning, and trots out the party line.

*Fag vilifies any party perceived as aligning too closely with the perceived right, or right of centre, or conservative, because they represent “the corporate elite”, “the developers”, “the fascists”, “those fucked up Christians” etc

*Fag makes some vague reference to the erosion of human rights (a.k.a. his right to toke and snort)

*Fag claims that funding for social programs would be reduced or terminated and they have to keep lobbying for them.

*Some peculiarly micro-fag issue that wild ghetto speculation has inflated into something ominous e.g. “You know they’re gonna ban G-strings on the Pride Float” or “You know they’re gonna shut down Thursday male stripper nite” or “You know they’re gonna put undercover cops in that cruisy toilet at the mall”

Just who “they” are is never defined, though it appears to be any candidate or institution deemed not politically pink enough.


2.   FuelMix’s Theory Of Fagland

1.   We have said elsewhere in this blog that Fagland can be a geographical area or a state of mind, or both.  In this post, Fagland refers to the geographically identifiable gay ghetto.

2.   Fagland is economically unsound. Large chunks of its population are in questionable health whether from sex, drugs, drink or all three. Their health issues are the result of their lifestyle choices. That affects their earning power.

3.   With few exceptions, (the sector catering to luxury gay tourism) large chunks of Fagland’s population are low to mid-level service industry types:

• tiny law firms specializing in tenancy issues, immigration, crime and wills; 
• tiny accountants and bookeeping firms;
• retail sales staff;
• bank clerks;
• hair stylists;
• flight attendants;
• hotel and tourism front desk staff;
• admin personnel;
• IT contract workers;
• Bar and restaurant staff;
• Freelancers;
• college students

4.   A fag might hold two or more low level or mid level jobs at the same time

5.  The low or mid level service industry jobs may be seasonal or transient. A fag may have to flit from job to job, or a series of rotating potentially dead-end jobs which they hold for years as it’s the only job security they can get.

6.   At first glance, Fagland’s purchasing power appears phenomenal. Everybody sings about The Pink Dollar. There’s no shortage of places to spend the cash: bars, cafes, restaurants, dance parties, after-parties, saunas, drugs, gay cruises and vacations, body hugging T-shirts, jeans, gym, underwear, cockrings, lube, toys, porn, organic groceries, lattes, speed dating evenings…..

7.   The reality is that the ghetto fag lives pay check to pay check. The money runs out before the month does and their spending habits are typically those of the Poor – money comes in and blows right out again on rent, groceries, gym, sex, drugs and doodah – with nothing to fall back on.

8.  A steady stream of outside fags comes to Fagland for “the lifestyle”. Often they are young, or students, or just starting out. In either case, they don’t have much earning power or much of a work history. They’ll take any job they can get preferably within easy or walking distance from Fagland so they can start spending on “the lifestyle”. What may start off as experimentation quickly becomes a financially draining addiction. Their whole world revolves around Fagland – and Fagland is only too happy to take their money. With the pressure of school, an unsteady part time job, rent and that after-party he’s been dying to go to, part time prostitution and a toe in the porn industry looks quite attractive.

8.  Of necessity, there is heavy flat sharing with constant shifting of roommates caused by unstable earning power, job relocation or personal concerns. It hardly contributes to a sense of community, but it certainly contributes to a sense of outrage. Fags have horror stories of their roommate from hell, who stole money from whom, who borrowed cash and never paid it back, who’s dealing, who trashed Jason’s 34” flat screen TV, who passed out with their head in the toilet.
