So me and the transexual who sits next to me at work are talking about his transition and another coworker walks up and goes, "YOU'RE GAY!?". me: umm yup. CW: naawww ME:ya' CW:Really? Me: Yes CW:nawwww Me: Ya' CW: You don't look gay though. ME: Nope, actually 4 out of 5 gay guys don't. It's just a stereotype. CW: Really? so, what makes you gay. ME: Chicks don't turn me on. CW: That's it? ME: Yup' I'm totally not wired for women. After that, everyone within' twenty feet spent the next 15 minutes asking me and my transexual friend all the questions they thought were too taboo to ask. I think straight people walk around with this Idea that we are totally and absolutely against talking about our sexualities. I tried to let everyone there know, I'll talk about it all day long with you, Just please don't judge me for it.
Thats cool! I am glad it came out well. I give you props for being comfortable enough to be this open about you sexuality at work.
Homophobia isn't killed by legislation. It's defeated one person at a time, one misheld notion at a time. Way to go. Lex
This is freaken hilarious :roflmao: Excellent story, I was laughing the whole time reading it! Especially at the 'nawww' parts, because that's something I would say!
I love the random questions that people ask me. I'm glad that people ask questions too. The hardest one I have been asked is what do I find attractive in men. It is very difficult to explain, but we talked about for 45 minutes. The weariest question was what if I was getting it on with a guy and find out he had a vagina. It actually is a good question, just stated in a weird way. My response was if I liked the guy I wouldn't let that stop me. My general rule is that I will answer any question asked, provided that the person is comfortable enough to discuss it.
Wow! That's a masterpiece of taking advantage of an unexpected situation and 'thinking on your feet'. Hat's off to you!!! It should be included in a 'blockbuster' movie somewhere to 'get the message out there'. Kayar, X.
You mean your GAY but you dont ACT GAY?? Well how can you be GAY if you dont act it???? lol - some people are dumb! (or very misinformed!)
Lol! That sounds like a good conversation. The 'naaaaw's' would have made me laugh if I was being asked that face-to-face. I think it takes guts to talk about it in the work-place.
I love when people get to the point where they wanna know things. At first the few people I've told I think try to not make me uncomfortable, but eventually I get the "how did you know?" question. Sometimes if it keeps going and they still don't get it they're asking me via AIM I just say real bluntly "the penis doesn't lie. how do you know you're attracted to the opposite sex?" which sometimes helps. In person I wouldn't be as comfortable saying that though
Somone asked me that, haha. I was still a little nervous after I told them I was gay, so I was like "I knew I didn't see much in chicks...and one day I was like ohh, I'm gay, I get it now!", we both kinda laughed after that.
Thats nice and I'm glad you're so comfortable talking about your sexuality. If you educate people like you did it changes peoples opinions on such matters. Answering questions is the littlest thing, but makes a HUGE difference. kudos.
That was FUNNY! your co workers seem accepting, though. i like the nawww parts too- id have cracked up if i were u!
that's great!!!! was hilarious, but also awsome to find out you work with open minded people well done(Y) ^^
I love good coming out stories. Good job! My attitude is,if someone has the guts to ask,I have the guts to answer.
