But I guess its because I lack makeup and a purse and tend to carry myself more like a boy. Not "manly" but not "feminine" either so I guess people get confused. But its not that Im not acting female...Im just not acting like a "woman."
Same thing's happened to me, and mostly for really stupid reasons too. One time in one of my art classes in high school, another guy asked if I ever wanted to come to one of his weekend parties. I politely declined, to which he went on to describe
in very graphic detail what would have happened to me if I'd taken him up on it. Apparently he forgot to ask me if I was gay because someone else had already confirmed to him that I was gay. And how did that someone else determine that I was gay? Because I was in an art class.
Also, when I was much younger, back in the days when SNES was the best system on the market, I was accused of being gay by multiple individuals because whenever we played
Street Fighter, I always played as Chun-Li. Here's the thing: I always played as Chun-Li because I'd been taught that it was wrong to hit a woman, a belief which I carried over even into video games, so the only way to play the game without having to hit a woman was to play
as the woman.
Makes sense? Well apparently it also makes me gay!
It goes back onto what I said about gay-bashers always desperate to find a victim. I'm not gay, but they couldn't find anyone else to bash, so they all found some stupid reason to declare that I was gay.
It's self-loathing if you ask me. As Ron White said, we're all gay at some level or another. It may not be true that all men engaging in exaggerated displays of manliness are trying to tune out gay thoughts, but it sure is therapeutic to think of them that way.
AHAHAHA! What are the odds?! I'm an artist and I'm not gay, yet people at work thought I was gay. My friends think sometimes I'm gay and my parent disowned me because they thought I was gay! Women who took me to their place after a night out on the town thought I was gay. One even thought I was gay and safe enough to uncover cloths to slip into something more comfortable. Why> Because I'm an artist as a profession and I use live models in a lot of my works. I don't lust after the human body, rather I see it's beauty in all it's flaws and perfections, in MALE AND FEMALE. So, that makes me gay to them.
I also played as Chun Li in Street Fighter. I like her because she literally kicks a**. I thought she was the best fighter in that game because she was the only one I could get 2 perfects with as I was fighting Bison and she was unstoppable when I played with my friends.
What else? I am a feminist. That's right. I'm a man and a feminist. I believe in womens rights, including the ones about fighting in the military. After all, if someone complains that they aren't getting their share they should get the responsibilities that come with it. Right? So, that makes me gay apparently, because I care about women's rights.
Let's see...What else makes me gay? Oh! I grow my hair out. That makes me gay.
I also like keeping clean. So, that makes me gay, because men are supposed to be gritty.
I like listening to soft music, jazz and old R&B. So, that makes me gay.
I find enjoyment in shopping for cloths and pairing up with my girl friends as they shop and we help select each other's wardrobe. So that makes me gay.
I don't howl and stare if I see a woman naked or if they have a awesome looking body. It's impolite to me if people stare at another. I'll look, but not stare. So, that makes me gay.
And yes, heaven forbid you should defend a gay. That makes you gay too.
And of all things if you have friends with gays or lesbians like me, that makes you gay!
So, it doesn't matter about one's sexual orientation. Because if you don't live up to standards, you're gay, meaning you're less than a man. Wow, I'm glad I came out of the closet. I'm a gay that has chosen and will only have a woman as his partner. Now you know.
