Hi all, I haven't been on recently, things have been hectic. For my Creative Writing coursework, we have to do two creative pieces. For one of them, I am planning on writing a play about a guy coming to terms with his sexuality, the start of his coming out process, people's reactions, his thoughts and the real life situations of understanding your sexuality. For this, I realised I had no idea write people's reactions. So I thought of everyone on here. I need some inspiration for the reactions and dialogue, so if you have any interesting, or even completely normal dialogue from when you've come out, when you've generally discussed your sexuality with people, questions you've answered, even the conversations you've had in your head about it, that would be great. If you could make them as close to what was said, it would help even more. Thank you for reading!
Does this guy have a particular sexuality, and if so what is it? (I figure a bunch of responses I had from being pan aren't really going to apply hugely to someone who is gay!)
Okay, I came out to people twice in the past week. 1. At wrestling event Me: (in response to "liking girls") Um.. I'm not really interested in girls. Person1: Oh! You're gay? Me: Yup. Person1: Okay, then! (later on) Wrestler: (uploading video to the computer I'm working on) So who's gonna suck my cock after I'm done with this? Me: Me, probably. Wrestler: Whoah! That was WAY too quick of a response! Me: Okay? I'm the one working the video off of this thing... Wrestler: Then again, who's got my face on their shirt? (referring to the fact that I'm wearing his tag-team shirt) 2. In skype call Person 1: (insert Person2's name), you're gay! Me: No, that would be me. Person 1: WHAAAT?! REALLY?! Me: uh... yeah.. I've told you like 5 times. And now you're freaking out about this? Person 1: Well, I didn't know! Me: But I told you multiple times beforehand..
OK then! I'll just list a bunch of things people said to me and if they aren't any good then I'm sorry I made you read it all xD "So who are these two people then?" - Mum assuming you need to like more than one person at a time to be bisexual. "It's a shame you'll never be able to have a long term relationship" - Mum assuming I'm some sort of insatiable sex pest who must have it all ALL the time. "Are you sure you're not just lonely?" "How would you know!?" "Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me that." - Dad "But can boys like boys? I thought boys liked girls!" - some children I know "LOL. GAAAAAAAAAAY" - my brother. (and my personal favourite reaction ever.)
Best friend after coming out to a large group of people without her knowing " " Me "haha she didn't know untill now" Best friend after enital shock "dem frying pans Hmm" __________________________ Random fb friend "I thought that meant you were attracted to animals" _______________________________ Friend ~ " I've always wanted a gay best friend" Me " You have me" Friend~ " wait seriuosly" __________________ old bf/ bff (confusing story) on fb"-No reply-"
My mum's reaction was kind of unexpected. She told me that she actually thought I was a lesbian (not bi), and to go out and have a great time sleeping with everyone at university and explore my attractions. She attempted to relate with me by saying that she too thought women were beautiful, but she said it kind of awkwardly and I knew she didn't mean it in the way I find women attractive. So yeah, basically she told me to party.
Idiot: I can't believe those fucking homos, getting married and acting like they have a right to do whatever disgusting stuff they like. Me: Dude, I'm gay (I decided against overloading his brain with a concept like pansexuality) Idiot: What? You're a gay? Gays are great man, my sister's friend is gay.
