Not telling the truth

[marshlander]

... 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.

That is hilarious :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?

Any odd looks you get are probably going to come from the lies you've told. It seems to me that to many people another person's orientation is no cause for concern and they have a problem working out why some of us need to lie in these times.

If someone asks me if I'm gay I'm generally pleased to own up and am delighted that they've noticed. However, most people don't need to ask. After a few minutes conversation it is usually blatantly obvious
