Are You Gay? Non-gay? or What?




(ACCORDING TO SOME PEOPLE THE ABOVE ALONE WOULD MARK ME GAY LOL)
I enjoy people with a weird(to me) sense
of humor and, luckily, I found quite a few bloggers with just that--one
of the most often asked questions I get from nongay people is, "How do
you know you are gay?"  This is something I posted a year or two ago
that I thought might help you (or not) know the answer to that question.

I may not be gay because;
1. I like women
2. I don't want to be a woman.
3. I hate housework.
4. I am lousy at decorating.
5. Drag queens turn me off.
6. I don't care what the latest fashions are.
7. I can't lip sync
8. I don't work out 90 hours a week.
9. I'm happy with my body.
10. I'm not into 'size'.
11. I like big,  heavy, fast cars.
12. Don't like ballet, classical music or opera.
13. I like jazz.
14. I don't hold my pinky out when I drink anything.
15. Don't like to hear "she", "Mary", "her" or other feminine terms applied to men.
16. I don't 'dish' my friends behind their backs.
17. I can be a couch potato.
18. I am neither thin, blonde or 'fem'.

    

On the other hand I may be gay because I like:

1.Streisand
2.Midler
3. Garland
4. Minelli
5.Show tunes
6 Theatre
7. "A Chorus Line"
8. Bette Davis
9. Joan Crawford
10. Jerry Herman,
11 Maya Angelou
12. Tennessee Williams
13. I Love men and having sex with them.
14. Don't like playing and/or watching football, baseball
15. Like watching ice skaters.
16. Into reading, theatre, movies.
17. Don't like guns, sci-fi, horror movies, hockey
18. I wear my heart on my sleeve

        

Of course there is the gray area:
I don't have a 'type'--short, tall, thin, fat, black, white, etc., as long as they are breathing!
I don't want kids or to adopt them.
I don't want to get married.

Oh, Heck, both gays and non-gays could pick from either category.

I AM GAY BECAUSE I LIKE TO, AND ONLY, HAVE SEX WITH MEN!

And
that's the only difference between gay and non-gay men--we don't have
an 'agenda', a 'life style' nor are we 'different' looking.

WE
ARE EVERYWHERE AND NON-GAYS DON'T EVEN KNOW IT--WE ARE PART OF THEIR
FAMILY, CO-WORKERS, ETC. AND IT IS TIME YOU LET THEM KNOW IT
!

If you like Carmen and La Boheme, you like classical music. You must might need more exposure. Anyway, ot every music lover likes every piece. As for Maya, you didn't push any of her buttons, so she was nice to you. And I understand that Richard Wagner was a virulent anti-semite, yet his Liebestode (from Tristan und Isolde) is one of the most powerful pieces of music I know. Everyone's a mixed bag.

But you didn't answer--does that put you in the 'or what' category???
reply by greatmartin on Dec 6, 2011 8:59 AM ()
All I know is, I'm "straight". I may have a "feminine" side (like I cry easily), but that' not all bad.

I cry at Micky Mouse movies! Don't worry--some of my best friends are nongay--I don't discriminate

Your lists are interesting -- sorry you don't like ballet or classical music -- so I can never play for you (or show you a dance step). Can't stand Liza Minelli (knew her from ballet class). Don't like Maya Angelous -- knew her too. She disliked me instantly when we were introduced. Must have thought I was dating my black friend who introduced us and she didn't like that at all. I think she is racist and doesn't even know it. From that moment, I thought of her as phony.

I liked the young Liza--can't stand her 'singing' today--I wasn't 'exposed' to ballet or classical music as a kid which I think has something to do with it--I like "Carmen", "La Boheme"--the more popular operas.
Regarding Maya--I met her twice and she couldn't have been nicer but more than that her writing is powerful!

All those show tunes! That's how I knew.
comment by troutbend on Dec 5, 2011 8:33 PM ()
Yep that does it though I know few nongays who love show tunes too!
