I think I need a sign

[Antisocial_Worker]

...I'm going to need a volunteer

Sorry, but I'm in the process of courting a muscular, hairy-chested, black male nurse with a goatee and a shaved head...

Okey-dokey, it's cold shower time. Toodles.

"How our friend S figured out our friend V was gay"

S's thoughts: Geeze, I can't believe Mr. Kinkoid lets' Kinkoid travel and stuff with V. I mean, he takes her dancing, they go out on overnights together, how on earth can he stand that!?!?!? I mean, no way would I let my wife do that...not unless the guy was...was...oh.

V also took a couple straight male mutual friends of ours out on the town one night and they all ended up in a gay club. These guys appeared to have never figured it out. V later told me he wanted to see just how far he could push it and them never get a clue. Evidently, the answer to that was "pretty far."

These guys...well, I should say the one guy that would have given a damn...was incredibly thick in the head sometimes.

I'd have paid money to see that.

I know, me too. I can't believe I missed all that.

I've been out for three years and my parents still haven't caught on And it's not homophobia, they have no problem with my brother being gay, but they still refer to me as straight. Everyone at school too. It's so irritating.

Not to threadjack my own thread... but I've noticed recently, there are a lot more gay members of CS than I realized... we truly are everywhere

Oh, and RK, that's almost as bad as my coworker who finally figured it out, not because of the pride wristbands, or the fact that I admitted going to San Fran pride, or anything like that... no, what gave me away was the use of the word "ghettotastic"

If you're going to make up words could you not make up crappy ones?

Smiley, some folks never pick up on it until you just simply spell it out in blinking mile high neon lights. My daughter had a boyfriend in Jr High and I told my husband then that I was sure the boy was gay. Here we are with the daughter in college now and her ex boyfriend/current BFF is openly gay (same guy) and she was super shocked when he came out. Everyone else knew. I call him my gay son. He spent the night here last night, crashed in the spare bedroom because he was too trashed to go home.

[NightWatch]

and yes, I know, I'm a bit tubby... I'm working on that

It's been a while since I've seen you, but you do seem a lot trimmer then when I met you. And those glasses with that hair suit you quite nicely.

[Red_Dazes]

All the talk of shirts and Signs reminded me...so ....Had to share... I was very proud of this. I made it for the Alliance club at our College. It went on the front of the shirt and the back said "**CC Alliance. Saving the World One Open Mind at a Time" ^_^ I was thinking about making some more shirts with just "Saving the World One Open Mind at a Time" But I dont have $$ to do so.

smiley!!!

well, I was describing the software at the other hotel I work at... so use of a crappy word is all too appropriate

[Akasa]

I think you're cute Smiley.
I understand working to trim down(as I am doing it myself), but I think you look fine how you are.

The stories in this thread are hilarious. Some dense people out there.

[Jester]

OK... someone here remind me... how long ago did I come out?
Wasn't it, oh, NEW YEARS.
So why is it that I still have friends who are surprised?
How is it possible for a friend to have not heard about it by now?

You would be surprised.

For example, I still have people coming up to me asking me what the latest is with my British fiance. You know....the girl who dumped me SIX YEARS AGO? Yeah, that British fiance.

Admittedly, these are people that are not around me a lot, but still...as you said, you would think they would have heard about it by now, especially in this small town where news travels rather quickly, and I am hardly close-mouthed about what is going on in my life romantically!

So you've been out of the closet, what, seven months now? You can't expect all your friends would just automatically know this. Sure, people talk, but not everyone....some people would probably think that it is not their business to tell other people about your business to others, as it were.

Sure, your friend exhibited some denseness in the conversation with you, but hey, he heard what he wanted to hear, until you had to literally shove the evidence in his face. As someone who is quite often oblivious to what is obvious to others, I can understand his position. At least he wasn't an asshole about it when it finally penetrated his mental fog bank!

seriously, I think the only way to get people to believe me is to have a picture of me sucking a dick in my wallet... and if that's the case, I'm going to need a volunteer

I'll help you with a lot of things....but no. Just no.

Good luck with that, though!

Nightwatch, that is actually a really good idea for a t-shirt

Now here is something I CAN help you with. As you know, I live in Key West, which is pretty much the anti-Salt Lake City. I will, if you would like, go shopping for an appropriate "Hi I'm gay" type t-shirt next time I am downtown. Just let me know your t-shirt size, and if I find something I think you'll like, I'll run it by you before I buy it.
