The 'is it common for straight men to own cats as a pet' question got me thinking. What other ridiculous questions/claims of this nature have you heard?

Am I gay if:

I enjoy romantic comedies, musicals.etc

I cry during movies

I wear pink or purple

pink is my favourite colour

I wear short shorts

I wear speedos to the beach

I sit a certain way, cross my legs a certain way

I pronounce my 't's'

I lisp too much

I don't enjoy lesbian porn - strangely ironic in a way

I'm not always in the mood for sex

I hug my male friends when my team doesn't win the championship

I have mainly female friends

I enjoy arts and crafts

none of my hobbies are 'male'

I express admiration for other guys

I keep cats/certain breeds of dogs


I could go on and on...

If being gay is not such a big deal even if that person WAS gay why would it matter. Obviously it generally isn't...

The most ridiculous one I thnk I've ever heard was, and I QUOTE,

"Is it more 'gay' to be the pitcher or the receiver?"

Not sure what the answer to that would be, but I'm sure that homosexually-oriented people would probably have been extremely offended by it if they heard it.

I'm not gay. . . . . .


However, my guy friends make "gay" jokes all of the time when referring to me and citing "gay" things about me - and it gets really annoying after awhile.

For example:

I go tanning. Usually medium pressure but occasionally Mystic Spray

I drive a Jeep

I have nipple piercings

My preferred cologne is Chrome by Azzaro (I'm still not sure why that is considered "gay")

I have a purebred Maltese dog (He roxx, and has the heart and courage of a lion - I don't care if it makes me seem "gay")

I drink Chambord Kamikazes (I'm still like, WTF. . . how is that "gay")

I paint my girlfriend's toenails, (Lancombe Passion Pink) although I still don't think that is "gay".

When they go through the CD collection at my house, they think it's "gay" that I have albums from Poison, Cinderella and White Lion.

I don't use toilet paper, but leave some available at my house for guests. I keep a supply of Huggie's Baby Wipes for that process everytime and they are in the bathroom at my house. I'm still confused about why my buddies giggle and laugh about that - like seriously, is a guy "gay" for wanting to stay extra clean around that part. I just don't get it.

And I guess I didn't help the situation, when on my last skydiving road trip to a drop zone in California, I stopped overnight in a town called Redding and the closest bar to the motel was called "Monroe's" and I went in to have a few beers and rock some karaoke, and wow - it turned out to be a gay bar. I didn't realize it until I went to use the restroom and looked at two doors. One of them said "Ladies" and the other one said "Queens".

I still haven't lived that one down yet.

I can see where your friends are coming from. As for the nail polish, it's quite interesting that you remember the exact name of the color and feel necessary to mention it.

One question though - if you don't use toilet paper, what do you do when you go to the bathroom?

He uses Huggies baby wipes.

Skydive: the defining question is: "Are you a Cher fan???". That'll clinch the gay deal LOL.

No.

And despite the Poison, Cinderella and White Lion CDs in my collection - I have the entire back catalogue of bands like Slayer, Megadeth and Iron Maiden.

Although, I'm still accused of being "gay" because of my Judas Priest CDs.

Like seriously, I didn't even know Rob Halford was gay until 1997.

It doesn't have to just be Cher. "Judy, Liza, Barbra, Bette, these are names I shant forget".

Nothing in your list stands out at me as gay stereotypical, except maybe the pink nailpolish.
