"But you're gay... why do you like sailing and WWE?"
"Well, I feel like both of those are pretty gay considering the reputation the Navy has and WWE being all sweaty men."
"EXPLAIN FIREARMS THEN."
"Shooty go pew."
"WHAT ARE YOU?!"
"Hungry."
Based off of a real conversation I've had.
Sailing and WWE are pretty famously gay
Femme lesbians confuse these dorks but we can identify each other easily enough. I say this as if my fashion choices, as a femme lesbian, don't get me called a dyke on the street fairly often.
"Are you sure you are gay?"
Have been asked that so many times oh my godddddd.
"Yes. I suck dick and I'm damn good at it, Tiffany. Fuck off."
My late brother used to love to bust my balls, so him being the person he was, would introduce me (us) as "he's the gayest straight man you'll ever meet, and I'm the straightest gay man you'll ever meet". He wasn't flamboyant or anything, and I do enjoy antiques and musicals. He also threatened to haunt my left testicle if I kept having raucous sex without bringing someone home for him. Anyway, thanks for reading. I miss that big, proud asshole.
Now I miss him too <3 I'm sorry buddy
I feel like you and I would probably have a lot of good conversations. I don't say that to many people. Thank you for everything you post here, it's part of what keeps me going buddy.
I'm sorry bro. But I must ask. If he haunting your left ball now?
No, thankfully I could see where his humor was coming from. He was quite lonely after we moved to a rural republican area. So I made it a point to not bring girls home for noisy one night stands, and to spend more time with him and our mutual friends. Getting married and having kids probably helped me settle down. I'm very sad he doesn't get to meet his youngest nephew.
Eta: I did laugh at the question, that's why I like to tell these stories.
"I like you. You're gay, but you're normal"
🫠 I always feel like my non flamboyant ass is a betrayal to all gays everywhere.
same here! when I came out to my friends, I actually had to convince them that I'm gay because I "didn't act gay"
Yup. That line stings too, especially when I do not shut up with gay jokes. It's just homophobic as shit nine times out of ten.
Honestly, I've gotten many more "You don't seem bi" from gay men than any other demographic.
I'm not surprised but like... I don't even know what bi is supposed to seem like in the first place? Like okay. Us gays have a stereotype. But like what are y'all expected ot show up like? Hands shoved inside of a woman and a dude at the same time like a pair of kinky oven mitts? The fuck were they expecting lmao
From my experience: they expect us to be over sexual pests with attachment issues and a constant need for mfm threesomes, sadly enough
Well since the only two real sexual orientations are straight and political, they expect the political types to be just as annoying and pushy as the last ones.
…but note that to these people, when something catches their attention and they think about it a bit because it’s different than what they’re used to, they have had your political nature ShOvEd DoWn ThEiR tHrOaTs!!!
Well that's the dumbest thing in the world. Especially when us gays have over sexual pests down pretty good. Same with the attachment issues to be honest.
Seems like sex pest and flighty relationship accusations/reactions are common against anyone with a "different" sexuality, no matter if the observer is hetero or homo :P
I lost my virginity to 30+ men by having my legs up in a sling at a bathhouse.
Sex pest might be accurate for me lol
The will smith meme fits I guess :P
Lol, I meant the one from MiB when he stole a car
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-stole-that-one-but-not-because-im-black
You mean you, a gay man, like things that men like?? Next youll tell me everything you own is NOT pink???????
Being bi blew my mind when I finally came out. Dating women is really fun, but then I met a guy who is like...my best friend and crush? Best of both worlds! We share the same hobbies! And hold hands :)
Very happy to hear that for you :)
Correct.
It's purple.
The better choice
It's also my cats favorite color which I find kinda funny. And yes. Hers. I'll offer a variety of stuff to her and she, without fail, picks the purple options.
What a queen
Not gay myself, but uh, honestly most firing ranges and shooty shoot drill courses are also usually chalk full of sweaty men.
... who are... often enjoying the experience a biiiit too enthusiastically.
But yeah... I've been friends with a good number of gay dudes (one later transitioned), and ... they are some of the most non flamboyant, non dramatic people I've ever known.
I remember back in the early 2010's, a good number of other people I knew just literally not believing me when them being gay would come up in conversation... whole lotta people just error out, does not compute, 'they're not gay, they're normal!'.
'They are gay, and they are normal.'
-blank stare-
Hooray for growing up with a bunch of ignorant white trash hicks.
… who are… often enjoying the experience a biiiit too enthusiastically.
I mean... one of my fantasies is getting railed at a firing range so I can't say I'm surprised.
Hooray for growing up with a bunch of ignorant white trash hicks.
Same here.... Same here...
...
Is 'insert long range drill press joke here' sufficiently meta / self-referential?
lol
You know what, sure. I'm too tired to think of anything otherwise lol
What about WWE wouldn't a gay man love?
The women, but we don't talk about those.
Basically my reaction. You've got giant muscley men who are near naked and sweaty that are rubbing all over each other. Umm... it's just softcore porn. Why wouldn't I like it? Just not enough hairy dudes.
As a straight hairy dude, I'm a little taken aback at hairy being an appealing quality. Error error dies bout compute lol
Oh man, hairy is SUCH an appealing quality and I'm not the only one who thinks that. The gay community is pretty evenly split between dudes who like hair and dudes who don't. Me? Can't deal with smooth dudes. I think it's like 1 in 30 that I'll find attractive. I need a rug to put my hands through. Anything from
[Minor NSFW Warning. Shirtless dudes]
This to this to this. Omnomnomnomnom.
And like they're all hot but that first dude can FUCKING GET IT.
Chest hair I can totally understand, pubic hair too with some attention to grooming, but can't wrap my head around it.
That's awesome though for you that is a positive thing. Enjoy!
What is up with flamboyance anyway? Why is it such a (supposedly) common thing? Is there some sort of link or explanation? Not trying to be offensive, just curious
Some dudes adopt the mannerisms to show that they're gay. Other dudes have the mannerisms from the start. It doesn't make a single lick of sense to me either. People are just people.
From my observation of my gay friends who are more flamboyant, it was a reaction to coming out of the closet and letting their friends and family know they are gay. They had seen others who were gay behave a certain way, and they embraced that life.
also str8 people when they meet a flamboyant straight dude hahaha
Remember when they had to invent a whole ass 'sexuality' just to say "I'm straight but I just like taking care of the way that I look"? Fuckin Metrosexual
Hahahaha whatever happened to that? I feel like that faded away in the ‘10s.
Everything normalized. It became fine to care with how you look :)
Well that’s fuckin dope then
