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

[BlackMamba47]

Well, a little backstory on me. I'm not what many people I know would picture as being gay. I'm not effeminate, I've played sports my whole life (rugby, baseball, track, tennis, football, etc.), and before I got to college, I never laid any hints (or so I believe) that I might be gay, besides the fact I never had a girlfriend. Here's a list from the more notable responses.

Mom: I had originally said I was bi (bunch of bs), her response "So that means you're gay, ok. I still love you, but watch out for AIDS" Now everytime I go home she manages to bring up something about homosexuality, AIDS, and her gay friends at work

Sister: "Get the fuck outta here. You're taking me to the club with you"

Brother: "Look, we can chill anywhere EXCEPT the club"

Nieces (Ages 8, 10, 13, 16): "Uncle Gino?. He can't be gay"

Friend Ben (rugby teammate): "So, are you gay" Me: "Yes Ben, I'm gay" Ben: "Ok. Do you mean gay as in fashionable or gay as in up the butt" Me: "...sigh"

Friend Matt (Ben's brother, rugby teammate): "Ok, I don't believe you. Prove it"

Friend Steve (Rugby teammate): "Hey, I heard that you were gay. I'm glad you're happy and that you can love someone, regardless of gender"

Friend Julian (known him since we were babies): "Damn. You were supposed to be the next black President"

Friend Jorge (was the only out gay guy at my high school): "So you wait until after I move away to come out. God dammit."

My black female friends: "God dammit. Ain't no good black men left in this world. They're either taken, dead, or gay."

My white female friends: "Haha, awesome. Now, who did you think was cute in our class"

My cousin Ponce: "And? You wan't a cookie? It's a goddamn recession, ain't got time to worry about you being gay". Me: "Thanks Ponce"

I'm just thankful no one has stopped being my friend or disowned me lol

"what, really?! oh, actually... yeah"

 

[goodbyemountainman]

Me: What if I'm gay?
Her: Don't joke like that?
Me: So you don't want me to be gay?
Her: I don't want you to spend too much time away from our family. I think that's make you gay...
Me: Being gay is not a lifestyle, it's who you are.
Her: No, I don't think so. But are you gay?
Me: Let's just say "what if"...
Her: Gosh I hope you not gay...
That's my sister who suddenly seems to care about me. And we didn't talk to each other for 3 weeks.

Some of the more memorable ones
"You cant be, youre an athlete!"
"It's about time"
"Well your clothes did always match"
"Cool, no you can help me get girls"
"So i guess youre still an ass man."
And my favorite "Wow man....that takes balls"

I came out to two of my Uncles on a Sunday morning and one said You got me outa bed for that, I thought there was something serious I swear he made me feel so good by saying the second bit.

My Aunt you still.... (yes the tablets didn't work).

 

[Houseboy]

My brother said " I will pray for you"
My mother said "I hope you are not the girl"

 

[breathe]

I can't believe what ignorant and downright objectifying statements some of the things people say are.

I've been lucky... I've got all the questions such as "Are you generally a bottom or top?" etc., but NEVER when I just came out to the person. It's just something that's come up later on, along with all the usual anal sex questions and "What's it like being with another guy?" questions. Girls want to know if we wrestle, and hear about all that masculine stuff that gets them going LOL.

My aunt is really chill so I wasn't hurt when pretty early on she said to me "Ughh... All the good guys ARE gay!". Again, these are not comments that I've heard right when I come out.

When I came out to someone early on it typically went, "Okay. Awwww... I'm glad you knew you could tell me," or they asked who else I had told.

Years later, now that I'm more casual about it and shrug it off as something mid-sentence or casually mention my boyfriend or the guy I was dating at the time, people don't even comment or mind. If you are casual and relaxed about it, it seems other people are too.

Playing Halo 3 with my roommate, Lady Gaga comes on Pandora and I start to sing along.

Him: "Wow dude are you gay?"
Me: "..........."
Him: "Oh.....that's cool. Can we be friends forever?"
Me: "Sure"

Lol...

Awwwwwwwww

 

[theeroopable]

Me: I'm gay.

Her: No you're not..

Me: Yes, I am..

Her: But you're tall...

Apparently height has something to do with sexuality.. (I'm 6'5")

It's amazing to see the polarisation between peoples mothers on here, i laughed out loud so much in this thread, and y blood boiled.

Mum outed me, we got drunk she met my guy on the same night and blah blah all is well...she did say "When you going to adopt or get a surrogate?!" >.> she already has five grandkids ! :'( i thought i was exempt :'(

 

[gen3ric]

I went down by the riverside with my best friend to tell her, and she came out first and told me she was bi! Then i told her i was gay and she said "I knew you were going to say you were gay. That or profess your undying love to me, and if you did I would have told you to get the hellllllll out. But that's awesome that you're gay."

hahaha. Hopefully there will be more of these stories coming soon!

 

[MentalFirewall]

One of my best female friends gave me a "YAAAAAAY!!!" :3

 

[MollyontheShore]

Me: I'm gay.

My sister: No you're not. You don't even know what gay is.

Me:

 

[notalentchance]

I've come out to very, very few people. Some good, some not so good, one hilarious:

Me: Look, we need to talk about something...
Him: Oh, um...ok?
Me: I'm kinda gay...
Him: "Kinda gay"? So you're bisexual, then.
Me: No, I'm gay. Just gay. Really gay. I like the men-folk.
Him: Really? That's cool, just as long as you don't start hitting on me.
Me: Relax, you're not my type. I'm not attracted to you at all.
Him: WHY THE FUCK NOT?!

My favorite (on AIM):

me: did tom tell you that i told him that im gay?
friend: yea, and he also told me you havent hooked up yet. hurry up and get some bitch! now lets play madden

 

[justjoshing]

When I was sixteen, I began the process of telling my friends that I was gay. After telling one of my good friends, she reacted fine and told me that she always figured I was.
The next day she came into class with a present for me. Inside was the first season of Will and Grace, a "Boyfriends 101" book, and bunch of condoms inside of a Chinese food to-go box, some rainbow pins, and a Ken doll.
When I asked her why she gave me this, she said my coming out should be celebrated like Sweet Sixteen.
When I asked her why she gave me a Ken doll, she said, "Just in case the book doesn't work."

 

[snclas]

So mine doesn't actually sound funny but here goes

(responses after me coming out)

Ian: that explains why you always dressed really proper and I did notice that you never tried to steal my gf (wtf?)

Fernanda: OMG YOU SURE? so I was right when I told everyone that you were a total mo (another wtf?)

Monica: .....So do you have a bf?
Me: Yeah
Her: Who?
Me: Eugene T.
Her: Oh HELL NO, I don't think your parents would approve of that
Me: sorry?
Her: It must be awkward, it's like dating your cousin (she was referring to the fact that both my bf and I were eurasian)
Me: I think that's the least they're gonna worry about

 

[miyakko]

Haha and she's made twice as cool by defying what I hear constantly that Asians don't want out gay children and only care about family honor, etc. Your mom has it totally right by comparing it to eye color

And I wish I had some 'card' to pull if I ever get pulled over haha

I know it's been a while, but figured I would add to this comment.

So my partner and I have been living together for a couple of years. My mom continues to tell me how much she likes him. . . She then noticed I had a couple of "bruises" on my face and starts to freak out and gets my dad involved. He takes one look and tells my mom to cool it, it's just some old pigment discoloration that hasn't faded yet. (any scratch or bruise leaves a very dark pigment in my skin that takes YEARS to fade, my sister, father, and myself all have this fyi).

She just grunts, and then drops a big bombshell.

"You know, in Oklahoma, 2 man can adopt baby. When you adopt baby?"

WTF. I'm 25, turning 26 on sunday, and she' bugging us for grandchildren.

 

[theeroopable]

^ Lol. I swear these stories should go into a JustUsBoys book and be sold. That's hilarious.
