What do you say to someone who asks if you're gay and your closeted atm

Depends on who they are and if they're actually serious.

I would personally just roll my eyes or play it cool, saying stuff like, "Yeah, and I'd like to kiss your face" in a really, really sarcastic tone.

 

I think the most common answer for closeted people when asked if they're gay is: No.


It's only time to come out when you're ready to come out.

 

Yeah exactly. Tell the truth in a sarcastic tone of voice. Then they'll think you're kidding...

 

The rare moments I'm point blank asked, " Are you gay?" or some variation of said question, I usually just ask why they're asking. From experience, it usually comes when I take up for someone. The other time came when I wore a shirt of mine, which says, " throw them rainBOWS ", and the lettering is rainbow. It's a play on getting rowdy, throwing them elbows in a pit or during a dance.

I usually just say, " I like you. You want me to hate you? ", and they usually either laugh and the topic dies, or they'll follow up with, " Like, really? Are you? ", to which I'll respond, " Only for you, hot cheeks. "

Usually this'll end it.

I don't flat out tell people. I really don't think it matters, but I come off as open-minded and accepting, so the idea I could be isn't easy to dismiss. But if it was a serious situation, and the heat of it needed to be divided, sure, I could. It's all about the situation.

 

Depends on who it is

 

I'm technically closeted to most, but if somebody asked and honestly wanted to know with no judgment, I'd tell them. I really want to be more open about it anyway.

 

I'm gonna share a fun story with you guys.

I had this friend who would sometimes drop hints that she suspected I was gay, but I neither confirmed or denied and it wasn't much of an issue. Until one day she decided to force me to answer questions about which men I found attractive and was very, very aggressive about it. Once I was red in the face and almost crying, she decided to ask me if I was gay in front of all our other friends. Remains to be one of the most uncomfortable moments of my life.

Anyway, thanks for giving me some clever responses should anything like this happen again.

 

Been there and I feel like it's some sort of interrogation and I get really nervous and simply say *nervously laughing and sweating* "pffft noooo"

 

Depends on person honestly.

However usually I face it very seriously and ask "Why are you asking this? Even if I am gay it is not wrong or anyone's business, right?"

They usually stammer and blush.

I don't know if it sounds like confirmation or not.

 

I always make a joke maybe even confirm jokingly or something like "why, ur interested wink wink ?"

 

I would usually joke about it and say "yeah, are you interested?"

 

I have just said I'm not gay which is true I'm bi

 

I feel like we should not have to hide. I think that every time we don't hide who we are, we help change society for the better, by being truthful. But, one does have to be careful. If the exchange could have consequences, either personally or professionally, then maybe being evasive or even deceptive, could be the best option. But how I would love to just be honest when asked...we really should not have to hide.

 

What's that over there?! :icon_wink

 

When I was twelve and deep in the closet I said no. Right now no one asks me. I sometimes joke about being gay, but I don't know if think I'm gay or not. I think people that know me are confused about my sexuality and people who don't just think I'm straight.
