Gotta say, it kinda sounds like you are taking it personally.

 

[Takhisis]

no. I'll be stuck with my family in one room for the next 2 months. A small room. A small, warm room. A small, warm room without any sharp weapons.

Winter depression, ahoy!

Cabin fever? I hope you tagged Unarmed, man.

[Hygro]

warpus is gay

 

[JohannaK]

I'm more gay than he'll ever be.

 

[Snerk]

So not dating anyone makes you gay? I'm really really gay then.

 

[choxorn]

Likewise.

 

[JohannaK]

Actually when I came out my parents told me they suspected it. My mom said when she commented the possibility to my dad, he answered that I must be because I didn't bring any girls home. Following this line of thought, I'm probably asexual since I haven't brought any boys home either.

 

[gay_Aleks]

In this case, my mother is probably expecting that whatever children I bring back would be half-goat.

 

[The_J]

I've given up taken offense when someone thinks I'm gay, just happens way too often (dunno, 15 times in the last 3 years?)
Not sure if it's because I wear earrings, but I thought that I'd else give a masculine enough vibe, but apparently not .
Might need to work on that.


EDIT: Unrelated to that, another rant which I forgot: Didn't manage to talk to the cute Turkish girl for the whole damn weekend .

 

[Arakhor]

I have dated precisely once in my entire life. By that metric, that would make me gayer than the hypothetical lovechild of Laurence Olivier and Julian Clary.

 

[Borachio]

There's nothing wrong with being gay of course, but I don't want people's moms thinking that I'm gay. Mainly because, how did this happen? Is it because I've been seen with a man? If so, how? Maybe I have a doppelganger? Maybe I gay sleepwalk? I have questions.

Quite obviously: you're such a closet gay you're in denial from yourself.

Seriously, though, why don't you want people's moms thinking you're gay? What difference does it make to you? And what difference does it make how it came about?

Are you worried that your reputation for being gay will somehow cramp your style with potential bedfellows in the future?

(Bedfellows can be female, btw, in case you think I'm assuming you really are gay. Which I am. But that's besides the point.)

Would you want people thinking you are something you aren't? That's what I think is bothering warpus, not specifically the "gay" thing, but just the idea that people are making assumptions about what he is and isn't behind his back without having all the information to make those assumptions.

 

[JohannaK]

Once my mom asked me if I was gay just after I came from a brony meet-up, to which I barked back than no I wasn't, just because I felt she was associating it to liking My Little Pony, which has nothing to do with it.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

My dad asked me if I was gay once. Well, specifically, he asked if I was making gay pornography. I suppose that, given that I have never been on a date, and my parents are standard American conservatives in many respects, that his question seemed logical to him, but I literally had to do everything I could to maintain my composure at the time, because it was a very serious conversation at hand, and his question seemed out of the blue, as it followed "are you lonely?"

I mean, that was weird.

"Are you lonely? Are you gay, making pornography or something?"

Right-o. GoodEnoughForMe's hot gay porn, come get it now while you can.

Gotta say, it kinda sounds like you are taking it personally.

It was a personal statement directed at me, so of course! I am more amused than anything, and a bit annoyed that just because I don't want to date my friend, all of a sudden my sexuality is being questioned, even if perhaps jokingly.

Spin the situation on its head and imagine my mom calling my friend a lesbian because she doesn't want to date me, and just wants to be friends. That wouldn't be cool either! I'd tell my mom what's what. "This isn't the 60s anymore mom, you can't say crap like that about my friends"

warpus is gay

I'm such a n00b homosexual though, I can't even do the lisp and I'm horrible at fashion. I don't even like penis. None of the stereotypes seem to apply to me, I don't think I'll ever be accepted.

So not dating anyone makes you gay? I'm really really gay then.

Probably a good thing we didn't end up on a boat in the arctic together. Imagine how awkward that would be if we both realized we're gay at the same time.

The thing with most people's moms is that they grew up in a different time. A time when "you're gay" was an insult and not just a fact.

Her mom was essentially saying: "What is wrong with him?"

I haven't had a girlfriend in a while, I don't really date. I'm happy where I am. Her mom is implying that I'm not a "normal heterosexual male" because I'm not jumping at the chance to insert my penis into a vagina at the first possible chance of an opening.

It's a bit sexist, yes? As such I'm going to take the situation, flip it around, and mock it.

Not as awkward as hastily making a man of each other and then realising what a terrible idea that was.

What happens in the arctic, stays in the arctic.

 

[Cutlass]

My friend's mom just asked her if I'm gay for some reason. I'm not sure if she's ignorant of my heterosexuality or just trying to insult me or what. It's possibly because I didn't sleep with her daughter (who reported this to me), but we're just friends for God's sake and for everybody's sake

Anyway, here's my response




There's nothing wrong with being gay of course, but I don't want people's moms thinking that I'm gay. Mainly because, how did this happen? Is it because I've been seen with a man? If so, how? Maybe I have a doppelganger? Maybe I gay sleepwalk? I have questions.

There are some people who will assume a man is gay for no other reason than that he has reached a certain age without getting married, or is not seen to date much. No other evidence is needed for some people.

"Crap like that"? 'scuse me warpus, sir?
