Not telling the truth

[I-heart-U]

One of my good friends at work has been telling quite a few lies about her life and it's all blown up in her face. She told a lot of people that she may be pregnant because she is very happily loved up with her boyfriend. She also said that she is looking to get married soon but I recently found out that her boyfriend moved out of her house. There were a few other things as well and everyone is giving her awful looks now. What troubles me is that I've kind of done the same thing, many times when friends have asked me if I had a girlfriend I've said that I just have meet any girls that have the qualities I'm looking for (like chest hair and a penis :biggrin.

The point I'm trying to make is do you think that when my friends and colleagues find out that I'm gay (some of them already suspect) they will give me odd looks? I have told lies about being straight every time I have been challenged by someone and sometimes I've tried to be quite vocal about it which has made me look like a complete fraud. Although to be honest I don't care what some of those people think because they should know that if I don't tell them that I'm gay it's probably because I don't want them to know. When people ask you if you're gay what do you say and how does it make you feel?
