| Love.Live.Life. A day at a time Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: 4.38 Out Status: Out. but not shouting it from the rooftops. Age: 21 Posts: 355 Join Date: Sep 2008 | I was hanging out with this girl that I came out to, about a month ago, earlier today. We picked up some lunch afterschool and were sitting on her back porch... I don't know how the subject came up, but she said I was "too straight" to be gay. I don't know if I would've been offended had she not been one of my closest friends but I can't see her justification of the comment... Just because I'm not feminine doesn't mean I'm not gay. Anyone else been accused of being too straight? ![]() At least it's good to see my straight side could fool people... ahaha

| Well Known Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: My Mom, and most friends Location: wisconsin Age: 23 Posts: 190 Join Date: Apr 2008 | Yeah when one of my str8 friends found out that I was gay, he was so surprised, if not shocked. Later he asked " How could you be gay, your so staight acting?" I told him I am not a flaming queen (no offense to anyone that is), I only add in some now and then. I totally agree with you in that you don't have to be feminine to be gay. Stereotypes and the media really encourage it, but who am I to follow what everyone else thinks?

| Member Regular Member Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Some people Location: Austin, Texas / Charlotte, North Carolina Age: 21 Posts: 67 Join Date: Apr 2008 | I'm usually the one to get small jokes made towards me in class or something about being gay, and then someone will says "Don't worry Keith, we know you're not gay" in a very serious tone. Then there are times when I hang out a girl, and often times I put my arm around them and stuff and people automatically think we're dating. On campus now, according to rumors, I have several girlfriends. If only they knew I liked guys. Haha. ![]() My friend is currently accusing me of having a fling with her roommate. If only it were true.

However, I don't think I've ever gotten more than one or two "I think he's gay" suspicions tossed my way. |

| Well Known Full Member ![]() Gender: Female Orientation: More gay than bi Out Status: All important people. Do ask, Do tell. Location: VA Age: 24 Posts: 199 Join Date: Jul 2008 | Well, I'm not completely out. But the first person I told was pretty surprised and said he never would have guessed. I did have one person (my boss) ask me if I was a lesbian... which is odd. I reckon I blend in with the crowd. |

| Notoriously Homosexual Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Most people Location: Ames, Iowa Age: 20 Posts: 3,875 Join Date: Oct 2007 | I think people tend to think the same way with me. My sexuality has never been an issue, never something people talk about(at least around me)....Aside from one time when Katie asked if I was gay...Oh what could have been....

No matter who I tell, someone who's know me for years, or a compete stranger, they always say "Really, I couldn't tell". It happens every time. |
