Weirdest thing someone said to you when you told them you were gay.

[StudboySeth]

Mine is 'Good for you! I'm so happy for you!' about 20 times after a girl asked me why her secret santa gift was wrapped in black tissue paper and I told her that just because I'm gay doesn't mean I have wrapping paper all over my house.

Another is "but you read maxim"

and another is "but your locker is so messy" to the girl with the locker next to mine at school

 

[Runewell]

Yep, I've gotten that "how long have you known?"

My brother said "I already know"

I told like six or seven of my friends at once, and they all just clapped.

One guy just kept slapping his forehead when I told him... Like he should have known?

One of my friends just laughed and said "I figured that! I knew it"

The reactions are all so diverse. It gets kinda fun when you get used to it.

My favourite reaction was when I told my best friend on my birthday last year.

She burst into tears and exclaimed "Oh my God! We're actually Will and Grace... you've made all my dreams come true!"

Best.

A good friiend, "You can believe that about yourself if you like, but god told me you're not."

Okay, not a knock on religion or anything but doesn't that strike you as a bit odd? does God really go around telling people about the sexuality of their friends...

"Psst, Peter, it's God. Just wanted to let you know that Joe is definitely straight. Yep, straight as an arrow. Just thought you'd like to know. See ya... oh wait, one more thing. Your other friend Bobby? Total mo. Okay, ciao."

I had a friend whom I kept in touch with from Pittsburgh for a while after I moved to LA. She went from being a total slut in college to being "born again". So after a few months in LA I started dating this guy and she says to me on the phone "I'm glad you're dating someone but please don't have sex with him, I don't want you to go to Hell".

That was the last time we spoke.

lol sorry guys my computer crapped out and posted the first little bit here goes again:

ive had two funny ones,

I told my one and only ex girlfriend (from years ago as a teenage boy) that I needed to tell her something and asked to meet for coffee. When I got there she looked really anxious or nervous after I told her she said "oh thank god i thought you were gonna tell me you had a new girlfriend, that would have been so much worse"

The other one was a good friend he went kinda quiet after I told him and asked lots of curious questions like "how do you know for sure" and when did you work it out" eventually he kind of mumbled " yeh i think i am too". I was pretty surprised, ive had my suspicions about him on and off but he definitely wasnt ready to come out cause hes since backtracked and said he was just thrown by what id told him. I'm not sure if he is gay but i feel kind of bad that i triggered a self outing.

"I thought you were just shy..." - Megan had known me to be a shy person when she first met me...

"But you were just mucking/joking around..." - She was talking about me "pretending" to find out if this guy we know at uni is gay or not. I told her I was going to sit next to him during a lecture and talk to him...

 

[countrylovinguy]

"You don't look like one"

"We can get you some help"

 

[Mprov]

After coming out to two of my friends, I found out that they had a bet going to see if I was gay or not. After I told them, one of them said, "Oh I knew you were, I was just waiting on you to tell me." Later on in the conversation the same friend asked, "So are you the pitcher or the catcher?"

Excellent topic...and some responses that made me laugh and cry!

My weirdest was when I had just had lunch with a friend of mine--friend A--and A's boyfriend. Not to long afterwards I saw my straight friend B. B asked what I had been up to, and I told him about eating lunch with A and A's boyfriend, then B, completely shocked, said "He's gay?! I had no idea! I mean, not even the slightest. Wow... My gaydar sucks!" Then he looked at me, and suddenly something clicked, and he said, "Wait, are YOU gay?" I said, "yep." And he said, "For crying out loud! I suck at this!" We had a good laugh about it.

Ironically, a few months later, B was feeling really depressed--about his love life, career, etc. He said, "Maybe life is trying to tell me something. Maybe I'm actually gay or something and just have no idea." I told him, "I think you'd have a pretty good idea by now." Poor guy, though I found it mildly insulting, though also understandable, that he associated male depression with being gay. Fortunately, things started to go right for him, and he felt much better. I still tease him about the "maybe I'm gay" idea. Yeah, even my gaydar may not be perfect, but I'd probably fall off my chair if he turned out to be gay!

From my father........"I wouldn't want to hear about you and little boys"
I didn't let that comment go.......turned into a heated argument. What can I say my father is and always was an asshole. He also said "I hope you're going to keep this quiet so as not to embarrass me" Funny, today he's an embarrassment ......he's a silly,demented drunk old man.

 

[drhladnjak]

My friends mother said "How can you be gay? You've got posters of Madonna on your wall!"

Wow, the ignorance of some straight people simply boggles the mind!

 

[vamp]

Ummmm.... I'm bi and I still don't get it. Madonna is a girl right? So what do you mean?

Madonna is a gay icon. Read all about it (below) -

I think straight guys like to go for a confidence boost...this particular best friend was a girl, but her bf was just as enthusiastic about heading to the gay bar. He just loves the idea of guys and gals thinking he's hot (and I assure you, he is!).

this is so funny ahahha... 2 people I know one was a lesbian and the other was a strait guy and they were arguing over whos been to more gay bars.

"Okay...so..how about that breakfast then?" Str8 best friend who I had fallen in love with Freshmen year at college after I told him I was gay and had a huge crush on him..We actually had a great conversation over some diner food and we are still friends to this day. He is the 1st person I had come out to.

My mother:

"Oh you're gay. We thought you were a moody bitch because you were on drugs. But you're gay? Thats alright then, lets go decorate the christmas tree"

 

[Ninja108]

My best friend- More girls for me
Parents- Just keep your grades up

 

[bimmrboy]

Not weird, but not what I expected either:

me: I can't believe we were both there (this was the Justin Timberlake concert and didn't know the other was going)
him: oh yeah, we were sooooooo cool
me: whatever, I admit it, I'm gay
him: finally the truth comes out
me: yep
him: what's new? (besides coming out of closet )
him:anything on the job front

 

[keinetic]

Me : Oh man. He is cute and he got a sexy voice.
Friend : Are you gay?
Me : Yes, I am.
Friend : I don't believe it.
Me : Why?
Friend : Dunno... Just don't feel that you are. Ok topic closed.
Me : ...
