Depending on the person it normally makes me a little uncomfortable at first, because I don't know how they're going to react to it, or what their real feelings about it are. I've had people ask me in a really kinda upfront way that has been a bit scary, as opposed to someone enquiring kinda carefully; it's very much a circumstantial thing for me.
I'm ashamed to say I've been fake-straight at work a few times now because of the jobs I've done, and I never felt proud of myself for it but I felt I would have problems otherwise, been gossiped about. But then last time I was out at a club with friends I was getting some attention from girls we were with and I just told them straight up while my mates were there; they were surprised but it wasn't a big deal. I think I'm oneof these straight acting gay guys *sighs* ah well...
