mattyrusso · 2nd Sep 2008, 03:35 PM

agreed lol
and i cannot wait for that day haha

Miles D · 2nd Sep 2008, 03:37 PM

that's what happened in the musical theater department at my high school. all the guys who weren't gay had to be like "I AM NOT GAY!" because since they were in musical theater it was assumed they were.

-Michael- · 2nd Sep 2008, 03:53 PM

aha i would go around asking people if it came up,

"By the way are you straight?"

It could offend some people but, itd be a laugh.

2nd Sep 2008, 04:45 PM

be completly serious and all!
Umm can i ask u a question (cause this is how it always starts) are you well u kind of act ... Are you straight???

Smiley1123 · 2nd Sep 2008, 06:50 PM

Ahhh that would be really nice!

Swamp56 · 2nd Sep 2008, 07:22 PM

This would happen in a place like Provincetown, MA, where 75% of the population is gay

WOOT
ive probably said this like a billion times already on here.
but one of my fav musicals, everyone is gay, and these 2 are scared to come out as straight.
the guy thinks that his 2 dads will be ashamed of him...

tho i dunno of i would wanna live in a world like that....
guess i would have to try it first.

silentsound · 3rd Sep 2008, 03:24 AM

Well, my brother has had to come out straight more than once, in fact I am a little perplexed as to how I ended up to be the gay one...

That would be nice, but in a 95% straight society, that won't happen for a very long time of ever. *Sigh* Hate to be a downer...

Wander · 3rd Sep 2008, 05:13 AM

Oh wow, you're straight? I...I never would have guessed...I mean, you covered it up pretty well. Are you sure? Maybe we can find someone for you to talk to.

Beth · 3rd Sep 2008, 11:25 AM

silentsound · 3rd Sep 2008, 12:45 PM

"WHAT, your straight?!? Maybe its Just a phase. You'll Grow out of it."

lol @ heterophobia

Noah · 3rd Sep 2008, 08:24 PM

Me: Mom, I have something to tell you
Her: What?
Me: You'd better sit down...I'm straight.
Her: Oh God, where did we go wrong!
Me: You did nothing wrong, it's just who I am
Her: Don't you know that straights get all kinds of diseases, and are child molesters?
Me: I know, but I'm not like that
Her: Well, I know this great gay therapist....

MeskElil · 3rd Sep 2008, 09:00 PM

Okay, all those hypothetical conversations are BRILLIANT. I'm going to use them on a straight friend tomorrow. That's going to be so much fun.

Wander · 3rd Sep 2008, 10:20 PM

Why should we even allow straights to marry? Celebrities like Britney Spears have completely destroyed the original sacred purpose of marriage, and it's only going to harm society in the long run. After all, straight parents are the ones who give birth to gay kids.

When you finally accept what you can not change, and take the contacts out you will be amazed at how much better it feels.
