| The fluctuator Regular Member  Gender: Male Orientation: Mutant and proud Out Status: All except work and extended family. Location: I fly as much as Superman Age: 24 Posts: 619 Join Date: Apr 2011 |  Statements being misconstrued by straight friends I was just wondering if anyone else here has "worried" about things they say to their straight friends being misconstrued. Worried is in quotes since that's too strong a word, but still fits. For example, telling a friend that a state/college/etc. hasn't been the same without them. Things that I would normally say before, but now unsure if they'll read more into it than intended. Anyone else here go through similar situations? |

| SIC EGO SVM Regular Member  Gender: Female Orientation: Lesbian Out Status: 3 people Location: Near NYC Age: 18 Posts: 30 Join Date: Jun 2011 | Re: Statements being misconstrued by straight friends Since I'm closeted, not really an issue for me. But the other day at dance practice, I actually said to one of my friends: "we're gonna totally lick the competition next year and I can't wait!" If they knew I was gay, they'd think I was a real slut
