Gay guys think im straight but I'm gay too?

Pretty much means you're gay .

 

A) They didn't want to hurt your ego
B) The straight macho guys you know are closet cases
C) You are overthinking this

 

Or what I said ...

 

That applies regardless.

BONUS OPTIONS!
D) Everybody knows you're gay
E) All of the above

 

That you might be straight in comparison. Straight guys are more aware/sensitive of what's gay than gay guys are. Because in the gay world there is a lot of 'this does not have to mean masculine or feminine' or 'let's break stereotypes'.

Straight guys especially 'jocks' are the opposite they want the lines very clear and they want to annihilate anything feminine within themselves and it is not acceptable to accept that part of your self, you condoning anything like that indicates gayness.

It's all due to social pressures/perceptions in my opinion...wither gay or straight.

 

Wow, I didn't know that @arkemdis

 

I agree with this one. I know a lot of openly gay guys in my area and none of them weren't able to say that I was gay but I guess it also has to do with how gay people are seen here since what is masculine always equal to being straight.

 

When I came out, just about everyone I told was absolutely floored and dumbfounded. I was even asked repeatedly "are you sure?". I think I had quite a stealth shell from any Gaydar. Might have been something to do with watching the movie "In & Out" when I was a kid and going out of my way to make sure I acted "straight".

Now that I am out, people now say "oh, yeh, I should have known"

 

I don't act like the stereotypical gay guy. I don't talk, dress, or act feminine at all which is what fooled my parents when I told then I wasn't exactly straight.

 

Let me just throw one other thought in the mix. If I am correct in assuming that you are not out to the gay guys you speak of and that they are out, well, then let me just say there is sort of an unwritten code. As an out gay man (I presume person, but I don't have a lot of experience with this on the lesbian front) if someone whom you perceive to be gay but who is not out asks you if they seem gay--the answer is no, full stop, just no. I don't care if they are in full drag with rainbows shooting out their ass. The answer is no. This has happened to me on multiple occasions and the fact is, if the person is not out, no good can come from an affirmative response--none whatsoever. Most gay guys know how uncomfortable the closet can be and will do what they can to prevent adding fuel to the fire for a future "family" member. On the other hand I've also had straight guys ask me if they seem gay--and I always find at least a couple characteristics to site in saying yes.:lol:

 

Haha most people think I'm straight but once they find out I'm not they totally see it XD

 

Some gay guys are polite and more sensitive to the issue and try not to drag people out of the closet. Though there are some who are a little more cruel.

 

Well I always seemed straight to people and you can't really tell that I am attracted to men but that's because it's more emotional attraction and that is so much more harder to tell than sexual attraction, so no one in the world would be able to tell if I am gay or straight, the only people who could tell aren't interested in sex themselves. Asexual people.
