Gay men who insist they are straight.

Trololol?

 

If someone says they're straight, they're straight.
I don't think it's right to tell other people what their orientation is.

 

The only obvious indicator that someone is gay is that they want to have sex with someone of the same sex. Any other "obvious" indicators are, for the most part, stereotypes, which mean jack shit in indicating someone's sexuality.

Edit:

Agreed. Telling other people what their orientation is says, "I know what's going on in your head better than you do," which is extremely presumptuous.

 

I've known many camp straight guys. Just because they have a feminine voice or aren't interested in sports or are very fashionable does not mean that they are gay.

 

I'm friends with one guy and everyone says he's gay or asks him if he's gay and men are always hitting on him, but I don't think he's really gay and he knows he's straight so I believe him. They think he's gay just because he's short, very meticulous with his appearance, and had a bromance.

I never want to assume someone's gay, because you can't judge by stereotypes. Everyone's different with different preferences. Plus, I've had "bramances" so I don't judge bromances. In fact I think everyone should experience a bramance or bromance.

 

^^

I now plenty of straight guys who are more camp than me.

Does that make them gay acting straight guys or does that make me a straight acting gay guy? Or maybe someone's sexuality is irrelevant to the way they act and the gay stereotype is about as dumb and incorrect as most other stereotypes?

 

^This.
I have a friend who has a very feminine voice, mannerisms and 'typically gay' clothing style.
Still he's straight as an arrow.

I still have a bromance thing going on with my best friend.

 

^Then you, sir, are awesome.

 

:icon_redf I can't really take credit for that. It helps to have such a wonderful person to be close friends with.
For example whenever we see each other after a long time (we live in different cities), we usually embrace each other in a hug for a few minutes.
Now if I can only find a wonderful girl or boy like that, that I can actually fall in love with I'd be set for live.

 

I have never heard of 'bramances' before. I officially approve of this term and deem you awesome.

 

I swear to you, about 5 years ago, wearing pink was a fashion thing for straight guys.
The ammount of straight guys with pink, purple and baby blue V-necks was staggering.

What happened to your bramance if you don't mind my asking?

 

i insist that i am straight to everyone cause i cant say that i am gay i am in the closet still :/ if thats what u mean ...
or if you mean people that are gay but they dont accept it or they havent figured out yet ! i think these guys are very homophobic!

 

it still is here :lol:
& i think this thread is a joke guys [please say it's a joke]

 

Haha Why thank you! *takes humble bow*

Well for most of them we just kinda went our separate ways but the girl I fell for and I had a bramance too and even though I told her I love her she still doesn't push me away when we cuddle when I stay the night. We don't mention the fact I subtly cuddle up to her in bed. :lol:

 

This is just like my best friend. Everyone thinks he's gay, and ask him. He often acts a little gay on purpose which leads me to believe he is 100% straight. I know when I was hiding my sexuality the last thing I would want is people asking and I would have probably argued the fact that I was straight. My friend just shrugs it off and doesn't give a shit.

Me and him have a bromance and I'm pretty sure he's straight, even if he is a little camp. I agree that you can never guess a persons sexuality simply because of the way they act.

 

Not that I'm saying that this is any way indicative of your friend but when I was getting close to coming out I started to act a bit 'gay', ostensibly just as a joke so nobody took it seriously but secretly I was also doing it to test the waters a bit and get comfortable with the idea myself before I told anyone.

 

In my poker group, we have a nurse that is somewhat effeminate, and doesn't like sports. He's straight. We have a truck driver that is a football fanatic, and very macho. He's gay. Stereotypes fail.
