^^Platform shoes and a wig.

If he has some sparkly spectacles, he could double as Dame Elton John.

I work at a gym and i just found out that people think im gay!! Maybe I am but I want to come across as straight. I didnt think i acted gay, it must be thinks I do unconciously.?

What can I do to appear straight?

Need serious advise.

Your gay, get over it, you'll soon find that other people dont actualy give a shit (there too wrapped up in there own lives)

^That made me soooo glad I'm a big ol' queen. Mixed martial arts? Whiskey? Drab colors? How effing dreary.

Maybe where you live being gay is more accepted, but for this guy, he obviously doesnt want others to know. If someone knows youre gay you can risk your job, your friends, your family, everything. It all depends on where you live and what kind of people you associate with. Not everyone has the option to be open about it.

I live in the U.S., where gay people live happily and also die for being gay. Prejudice and discrimination against gay people exists nearly everywhere in this world. You can either live a life of deceit or choose to hope that others will accept you they way you are. A friend or family member who does not accept someone because of their sexual orientation is neither friend nor family, and there are laws for discrimination by employers. Your life is what you make of it.

The issue of generational gaps when it comes to being gay are a different story, and I agree with you on that one. Choosing not to disclose your homosexuality to your devout Christian aunt is one thing, but trying to act "butch" at the gym because you don't want people to "think" you're gay is way another. I responded to Surfboy18's comment on my original response to this thread because I felt, based on peanut1's request for tips on how to act straight, he is using potential homophobia as an excuse to hide his sexuality. Pretty much the difference between a "white lie" and a bad one, IMHO. And as far as being petty, I don't think you are. You are being tolerant, which is what we would like all of society as gay people to be.

First of all, we welcome you to JUB with open arms!

Now, you "must" get over your feelings of guilt over being looked upon as being Gay.......

........But you are Blanche, you are!!! lol (could NOT help myself!)

Let's see.........YOU are Gay right?

What's so terribly wrong with people thinking of you as being gay?

I bet ALL the Gay clientel to the club are really attracted to you too aren't they (and maybe a LOT of straight men as well)! lol

What harm is it going to cause by you being considered to be Gay there?

I see NONE!

So, enjoy the FREE attention you're getting and who knows, I bet you will get hit on a lot and get lots of dates! lol

Stop acting. Just be yourself. You'll live longer.

Well, if you are gay....You can follow these nifty pointers to appear straight:


1. Completely eliminate: Pink, Purple, Mauve, Fuschia, and any other light colours from your wardrobe.

2. Stop using words like: honey, sugar, sweety, baby, darling, fabulous, FAB-U-LOUS, and O My God!

3. This is the most important one: Stop having sex with men, that really makes people think you're gay.


And now for something completely different....The serious side.

I don't understand why people are so afraid of this sort of behaviour.

Not all gay men are effiminate, some are...Some aren't.

How you act is only partly your choice. It's just like changing your voice, you can do it for a bit...But eventually, your throat gets sore and you start talking like your old self again.

I say, be happy with who you are, and don't worry about changing yourself just to please the perception of those around you.

5. Have a convenient excuse why you don't date very often. My personal fave is..."my ex-fiancee left me for my best friend...I have trust issues."

'Trust issues'? Dude, that sounds so gay! Never ever say you don't date very often. If you don't have sex with a girl at least four times a week, you automatically become gay. That's the way it is.

Okay, now I'll try to step off the sarcasm box and take a little more serious tone. The only problem is that I can't say it any better than the eloquent people before me:
There's no need to hide your sexuality. Not just that, it's also impossible. Believe me, I tried! Acting won't get you anywhere, since you will always be suppressing something so much a part of you.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't let your sexuality run your life. That goes for becoming the quintessential, stereotypical homo simply because 'that is how gay men should behave' (for whatever reason), but also for putting it away and trying to live your life as something you're definitely not. In both cases, homosexuality will control and eventually ruin your life and you don't want that to happen.

1. Stop wearing body glitter to the gym.
2. Next time there's a power outage, please refrain from using that glow stick in your bag.
3. the next time a hunk comes into the shower please refrain from immediately dropping the soap while yelling "Oops!".
4. You shouldn't wear that 'Catcher' T shirt too often.
5. Put that wig back on the shelf!
