Questions of Sexuality

Firstly - sorry for not posting as regularly as I should be. I've been slack and life has been kinda uneventful. Thanks for all the comments I've received recently they are greatly appreciated. I get some well thought and encouraging comments and I actually listen and put your ideas into action.

Tonight's post is about questions of sexuality.

It's funny that people won't directly ask me what my sexual orientation is. I don't know if they don't want to offend me if I was straight, whether its inappropriate to directly ask someone or whether it's all in my head. Either way there is definitely some questions which are directed towards me and my sexual oreintation.

Examples of these questions are as follows:
  • Where do you go clubbing?
  • Do you ever go to (inset common gay club here) ?
  • Do you think (insert females name here) is attractive?
  • She has a nice ass. What do you think?
  • Do you have a partner? (Note the use of the politically correct term 'patner')
  • Do you like penis? (Lol that one is just a joke)
I really think I have people on their toes. I think its fun to play with their minds a bit. For example "do you ever go to 'gay club/?" my answer would be something confusing like "I've been there a few times, do you know its a gay club?". It's fun to keep people guessing. It's also my decision to let people know what my orientation is and to be honest alot of the time its no ones business. I also think its unfair to be out to random strangers when I am closeted some friends/family.

I can't remember the last time I was directly asked if I was gay. It would have to be years ago when I struggled with the thought. If I was directly asked today and didn't want this person to know I think I would honestly struggle to deny it. I think thats a great thing though. I'm comfortable with myself and who I am and don't want to label myself as straight and have to correct this in future. I also hate having to reject girls without a honest answer.

Thats my little story of the day. Inspired by someone who said "they were trying to figure me out". They didn't get too far... well today anyway.

Thanks to all my new followers .. wait... all my followers! I have 30 special followers. I appreciate every one of you!

The real question is one I wouldn't ask you Andrew, or anyone else I thought of as a friend.

And I'm not at all sure I'd want to answer it myself anyway. But I suppose I'd have to say something like yes, but it's largely irrelevant coz I have a partner.

Now who's talking in riddles? (he he)

I hate lying, and I hate lying to my parents and those I call my friends, but each time they ask, I always lie. It's cool you may tell your parents, I really want to know how it goes.

So, do you like ass or pussy (friend asked my gay friend that, haha)?

lolz.... love yr attitude. It means you are so very comfy with who you are.

I have a lot of it too - the questions.. My favourite though, is once a str8 guy finds out you gay, the stoopid questions that follow. I make a point of answering so honestly, it's enough to scare them off haha!

Gotta love those little mind games and word games people play to skirt around the issue.

(sigh)

In my coming out to people, I've found that the younger folks that I tell typically end up asking "20 questions" about anything and everything, including, but not limited to, "So who do you like... Brad Pitt, or Matt Damon?" or the even more basic "Would you go to Hooters?"

It's been fun answering such questions honestly!

(royally late catching up here)
