I know it's stereotyping, but I find it amazing that there are so many thin gay people.

That's stereotyping.. Not nice!

Speaking for myself, I had the mixed blessing of being born skinny. But we'll see how long that continues as I age and my metabolism slows down. :\
We also tend to have a somewhat higher incidence of smoking than average, which can also promote thinness, so that may have something to do with it, too.
In addition, we experience many of the same pressures as heterosexual women, in that we want to appear attractive to men. So we do tend to invest considerably more effort into our appearance than our straight counterparts (e.g., watching what we eat, working out, etc.), at least before the whole "metrosexual" trend started. These days you can't tell if a fellow is gay just because he's well-groomed and in-shape!
But, like everyone else, gay people come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. And not everyone finds thinness attractive; many gay men prefer chubbier partners. Nothing wrong with that.

Yes it is stereotyping. I am gay. I am not thin. There are quite a few gay men who are not thin. Sometimes we might want to be thinner. Sometimes we want to gain weight or encourage others to gain weight. Gay men come in all shapes and sizes with all different kinds of size acceptances.

Hmm I wonder why, and no it is not that they are sick. Public likes thin, look at most of the bag of bones in hollywood, oops I mean celebs. Think about it most people are attractive to thinner people in general. Bigger people are not that appealing. Ya they may be sick, but not from aides, from not eating or puking, it does lose the pounds fast, but it also looses your body color. Most gay that I have seen are not, umm healthy. They are super skinny, but not healthy. Come on how many gay ares have huge guns, not many. I have never seen one, and not many go to the gym, when a finger down the throat does the same trick, right!!!

I have loads of gay men for friends. I don't know about the whole gay population, but I know my friends seem to take an interest in fashion and looks unlike straight men I know. I wish my boyfriend would get a clue on how to dress!

If you're not thin, then you're not gay. Only stupid straight people are fat. Also, AIDS is now more of a heterosexal thing than a homosexual issue, since more turds and hoes are carrying the virus. I wouldn't be surprised if they invented AIDS as a way to get rid of all the good guys left on Earth.
