Or would you be glad that you're not so obviously gay? Would it be a greater insult if someone thought you were a "flaming homosexual"?

I kinda think it's funny.

many variations of the "are fems evil and do you get embarrassed by them" thread have been done on RJ

I'm a little offended only because of my own paranoia. I probably assume they mean I appear boring or stiff...uptight and unable to let my hair down. So I wonder if I am coming across that way.

Plus, it hooks into another issue........the one about feeling disconnected from "mainstream gay communty".

But my reactions really have nothing to do with them and more to do with how I feel about myself and only I have control over that.

nahhhhh......happens all the time.

but the looks on their faces, when my bf and I kiss in public, is priceless.

Neither of us particularly like being thought of as straight. It happens too often and gets tiresome explaining to people that we're not brothers. For Pete's sake we wear wedding rings and have 'Just Married' still pasted up in the truck window!

Funniest so far: hetero couple pulled up beside us in their truck and asked through the window which one of us got married. I said both of us. She says,
"Where are the the wives? Making dinner?"

Bill took his hands off the wheel and made an encompassing gesture of us two. lol, you could see the wheels turning in their heads then coming to an abrupt and comical halt.

They got it.

Not at all. Living in the closet, in a country where homosexuality is a crime, I am use of pretending to be straight. However , when I cross over to Thailand and some pimp try to get a prostitute (girls of course),for me, than we have a problem.

Yep.

nah, I wouldn't get offended.

I'd slap them in the face with my Cher doll

I'm glad when it happens to me because it changes people's perceptions of the gay stereotype they've come to know.

I think it's a good thing because, like it or not, straight men are more afraid of men being feminine than what you do with your penis.

what he said

Absolutely! I would be terribly OFFENDED! I put in a lot of time and effort to be the perfect Gay! What a retarded question.

Once, right after boot camp, I went into a gay bar in DC, and after a few moments of sitting at the bar, the bartender said to me "You do realize that this is a gay bar, right?" I know this is very politically incorrect, but it was the most flattering thing anyone had ever said to me. I was a BIG OL' GIRL as a teenager, you see...

I don't know why anyone would get offended. I get asked if I'm gay in gay bars all the time...and I've never been asked if I am any other time. My partner refers to me as his "straight boyfriend", and he's fairly fem which I don't care about either. Seems like there are more important things to get offended at.

Really? Who are these people? Are these people blind?

not at all. it's really a non-issue.

the funniest "i thought you were str8" moment so far happened a few weeks ago. the barista at the starbucks i normally go to is interested in my best friend, Leanna, who incidentally has a 5-year old kid. the barista asked some of our mutual friends if i was the baby's daddy! LOL!

I rarely care what people assume about me. Unless they're goign to come after me with a bat for it, they can take their assumptions and shove them up their ass.

Not offended at all. Its rather cool to break preconceived stereotypes. I'm about just being yourself without any put on behaviors.

On a deeper level of thought, this could push the buttons of one's own insecurities about being perceived as gay - as if that's a bad thing.

Ps. I don't care for musicals and Cher is not an Icon for me - go ahead, take away my gay card.

It is funny that a lot of straight people think it is a compliment.

Too (forgive me- I hate this word) cute. She is so my type.
Very few men think I'm straight.... only some women. I would not take it as a compliment or otherwise. Just as a comment. I'm not flamboyant or anything of that sort... *shurg*

Everyone thinks I'm straight.
So I wouldn't be surprised.



If someone thought I was a flaming homosexual...

I honestly don't know how I'd react.

It seems completely irrelevant to me. It's as if I would be offended if someone assumed I was wearing cotton socks. I'm neither proud nor ashamed of it since its a simple fact.

If someone thought I was a "flaming homosexual", I would assume that they were blind or had no conception of what 'flaming' was.

I'd want to know what planet they were raised on. i'm pretty obvious
