Ok, so I’m a 48 y/o cis white guy in a loving hetero partnership who has (uncomfortably) passed as straight for my entire life to this point. I am not straight, though I haven’t figured out a label for myself yet, mostly just going with queer or bi, though neither feel quite right. Maybe labels aren’t necessary, but I feel like I should pick something (important point: my partner is fully aware and supportive of me).
Anyway, this is all preamble to the point of this post. I no longer want to express myself as a generic middle aged white guy. I want to dress more, well, queer. Most men’s clothing is sooooo boring. The problem is I have no idea where to find clothes that will fit me properly that is more, uh, flamboyant I guess than what I currently wear.
I live in Deep South Texas (like, keep driving south another four hours from San Antonio). I feel very limited here and honestly a little fearful of shopping in the “wrong” section of stores (it’s Texas, after all).
I’m slim, just under 6 feet, so not a hard-to-find size for regular men’s clothes anyway. But I no longer want regular men’s clothes. To be clear, I am not feeling gender dysphoric and do identify as male. I just want to be less conformist and more fabulous. I like color!
So, to sum up this rambling post, where can I get fun clothes locally or online that scream out, “I am queer!”?
**EDIT** if this comes across your feed somehow, please reblog it. I have maybe two followers and I really want advice (and a community I can be a part of—struggling a bit here with that).
