Does it amuse you when people assume you're straight?

I don't find it amusing. I hate it.
But sometimes I don't like to say anything so I have to live with it.

 

I love it when they make a fool of themselves talking about queerness like it's an abstract concept with no practical reality, then find out that someone queer is with them and listening to their stupidity.

 

Most people don't think I'm straight. XD

 

Well, I've only had a couple of friends suspect I was gay (and it was only because I would never talk about "hot girls" and would sometimes catch me looking at "hot guys" in the college food court :lol. Most others just assume I'm straight or don't even bring private life into the conversation.

Does it amuse me that many view and treat me as a straight guy? Not really, though it is interesting to hear them spew borderline homophobic comments in front of me assuming I'm just another straight guy and having them backpedal once I come out to them (best friends loved making homophobic remarks but have toned it down quite a bit after I came out). Maybe I should start wearing a rainbow tshirt :lol:.

 

I find it amusing when my extended family talks with me about my future husband, next to my parents who know I'm into girls

 

Happens all the time. I just blow it off and carry on. It is at times slightly amusing.

 

Eh, it can do, especially if I am with other people who I am out to we'll laugh about it.

But mostly no, just reminds me how much I wish I could be open about it with whoever is saying it. And when people make homophobic comments thinking I'll go along with it because I'm masculine looking or something, no it's not funny.

 

When I was younger I was more concerned of people thinking I'm gay because they used to make fun of me. Now that I am older there have been girls from school having a crush on me which I am truly flattered but they all end up hating me because I get really cold and ignore them.

 

I don't think it really amuses me, nor, to be honest, does it really bother me. The only real instances of this I encounter are clients where it hasn't yet come up and it tends to be questions about my wife, etc. For the most part they are well meaning. I don't really encounter much homophobia in my day-to-day life.

 

I would let them talk about it for as long as they want to while I turn aside and laugh to myself.

 

Its only amusing when others who know you are gay here people mentioning hooking me up with girls.

Apart from that it is not amusing, To some people I have never given an indication that I was gay so there's nothing wrong with them assuming I am straight.

 

Yes because I feel safer about people who shouldn't know what's case. It means I'm doing a good job at hiding from people who'd use this information to potentially ruin my life. I'm not going to try to convince them that "Oh I'm gay please accept it." Some people just can't be convinced.

 

Sometimes, but it depends on the situation. Most of the time I'm fairly indifferent to what others may assume about me.

Very much so.

Although I don't care for it at the same time, so it's more like a contemptuous amusement.

 

It doesn't really bother me. When people say something about me having a girlfriend, I just casually inform them that I like men. If they keep going on, however, I get irritated. Much sass may ensue.

 

I find it amusing when my family describes my future husband..... I just think to myself, "why can't I have a future wife?"

 

Yeah, though I seem to encounter a comparable amount of people who assume I'm gay, or at least queer. Probably few of them assume I love wearing pretty dresses and heels.

 

Unfortunately you're right in that people do seem to assume I'm straight. I don't find it very amusing though. Especially as I'm not out, I feel quite awkward when someone puts me on the spot about a good looking girl.

I don't really want to out myself there and then, but I don't want to give an opinion how a girl looks then regret it later when I do come out and be seen as dishonest.

 

I dunno, I feel uncomfortable when people assume I'm straight in conversation. Like if they talk about boyfriends and stuff. Even my mom will now and again, even though I told her I only like guys physically, not romantically.
