Are you sure your gay?

[gilhooly]

Recently I found myself being questioned about being gay and turning 65.
The woman who asked was 50 and was obviously interested in me to my delight.
I mentioned being gay because I liked her and wanted to keep her as a friend.
She asked me what the word gay meant to me.
I said it means I prefer sex with men.
She said I didn't mean that, I know what homosexuality is.
You don't seem gay.
I know. I turn my gaydar off since it interferes with local cell phones
She then said carefully, what I'm trying to ask
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE GAY? I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY DOUBTS ABOUT IT
.
I laughed out loud and finally asked her how many straight guys did she know who pretend to be gay.
For the record I am an Irish guy born in NYC. People think I am a retired cop. If you have gaydar it has never included me. Not once have I ever been taken for gay. I seem like a bit of a wise guy. I hate people, particularly gays, who feel sorry for themselves.


I may terminate this thread. I am getting only serious thoughtful answers. I wanted to hear a witty way to say Bite me to christian evangelicals like my friend. How do you make it clear to someone if you don't believe only heterosexuals go to heaven. Sin requires you to engage in grievous matter. I have never grieved over gay behavior and don't plan to start. The notion that God created the universe to please the Westboro Baptist Church or anyone else who claims to be infallibe is blasphemy. I have taken comfort my whole life that Jesus was a sinner. Jesus ignored his father's commandment about Thou Shalt Not Kill. He routinely killed fish, animals and vegetables to feed the multitude. He routinely killed germs, Bacteria and cancer cells to cure the ill. He defied his father's admonition against taking his father's name in vain. In the garden before his crucifixion he accused his father of forsaking him. When faced with his immediate death at the hands of Romans he refused to defend himself and participated in his own death. He allowed it to happen. As a kid I knew that if I were God I would have killed the Romans and the Jews rather than allow myself to be crucified. The only possible conclusion I can draw is that God and Jesus loved everyone of us. I would never allow myself to be killed to satisfy the blood lust of homophobes. I consider the entire fundamentalist community on this planet to be blasphemers. They all think God gave them permission to kill anyone who disagrees with them. A awful lot of gay men enjoy being bullies.

Seems like you both were straying from the fact that... as you said..... you prefer sex with men.... ..... ......




Stick a fork in it cuz it's done.

i think she wants you to be confused

[matty7]

she may see u as a challenge , you know your gay mate n so do i...i have many women as great friends but im sure i dont want to be intimate with any one of them - if u dont want to loose her as a freind then just tell here that....i dont think she's got the hint yet - good look though

[interesting]

Maybe she really is attracted to you, and want to see if you can stray. .......... Orrrr, she could be an evangelical christian trying to convert you and think that it's not too late to save your soul.

I'd bet my money on the 1st one though, I think she is geniunely attracted to you and really want to start something, and probably thinks that you are the exception to all other gay men, and there's still a chance she may have with you.

So the question comes to mind: If there is a fire, and you can only save one, would you save the vagina or the penis?

(I don't know where I got this question from, I swear it sounds familiar)

If she doesnt beleive you like men then email her some porn with man on man and say this is what i like and thats that...

Kindest regards

On the matter of this bit, it's easy. You know the old story of Joseph? Fairly popular Bible guy.
Well, nowadays we've learnt the more older brothers you have, the more likely you are to be gay. Joseph had about a dozen. And his claim to fame was wearing a rather flamboyant coat.
If God's anti-gay, why create the rainbow?

Also:

The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. ~Lynn Lavner

@ toomuch45,

I agree with you. Many straight people pat themselves on the back if they can get someone gay to be confused (or depressed so that they will consider suicide). It's a life long joy for them to do that to others. And if you're not aware that people in this world are cruel you could get your feelings hurt. Be aware of people who "claim" they like gay people.....you could be talking to an honest person but sadly the chances are higher that it just ain't so.
