Guy Love

www.youtube.com/watch

I was listening to my musicals playlist (yet, I have a playlist dedicated to musicals) and the music from the musical episode of Scrubs popped up. "Guy Love" is one of the better songs from the episode, but it made me think of the use of the expression "no homo." Why do men have to hide their love for each other? Why do they have to qualify their love for one another as non-sexual? Yes, the video is funny and in some ways is challenging the idea that men can't "love" one another, but the fact that it's all meant to be a joke shows how uncomfortable men can be when challenging mainstream ideas of masculinity.
