People dont belive that I'm gay...

[HOspitalboy]

I have the same problem, when I came out to my friends, they all told their boyfriends because they (their boyfriends) had a problem with me always hanging around them.

One guy hated me so much, I never saw my friend again, (it's okay, she was a bitch anyway) another guy threatened to kick my ass, but I knew I could beat his, and the other just broke up with my friend. Only because none of them believed I was gay, they all thought I was lying, trying to get closer to my friends so I could be their boyfriends.

Even my brother had trouble, he acts more "gay" than I do, and he had a problem believing me. I laughed so much in my head while telling him because I was waiting for him to say he was gay, but he isn't.

And to the original poster, it's okay if they don't believe you, as long as you are able to face yourself in the mirror and genuinely say to yourself that you are gay, and you love the fact that you are who you are, and a part of you is gay, then that is all the acceptance you will ever need.

Good luck, to all of you, maybe one day this stereotype will be gone, and G-Lexington, that was a swell idea for a shirt, I would totally buy one.

i'm not out yet ... but since i have never had a girlfriend it makes some people question my straightness ...and actually a guy i knew once started talking about me behind my back that I'm gay and everyone i know (friends and people i just meet) started to defend me and they wiped the floor with him.....so i guess what i'm trying to say is apparently i seem very straight....(maybe because i'm a big guy, very strong....and kinda shy...not that flamboyant)......

>>>Looks like every guy on this forum is self described as "straight acting." I've still yet to meet a guy that fits that description.

I've actually met quite a few, but I do object to the term "acting" because they weren't "acting" - they were being themselves. I even told one guy who came on to me, "I didn't think you were gay," and he said, "I didn't think I was gay either, until I found out I liked having sex with men." I've met men while traveling that I would assumer were straight until they made passes at me, and so perhaps it was good that I was a bit more obviously gay. People I meet automatically assume I'm gay, I think, although there have been some rare occasions when people got it wrong - mostly women who were attracted to me. And then I have met European men that I was sure were gay, but as it turned out, they were gay-friendly but very heterosexual.

If you come to L.A., a lot of people will automatically assume your are either gay or at least bisexual. I think bisexual is more the norm here than straight - at least that's what the women I know have told me.
