Unclear on the Concept

[Hyena Dandy]

Alright. I am, as you may and may not know, a gay guy. A very gay guy. I'm as gay as springtime. I'm as flaming as napalm. I make Liberacce look subtle.

That said, I had to have a discussion with a family friend recently, who's about 21 or so and in the military... Who, while a fairly liberal fellow and quite approving of gay marriage and all that... Was REALLY unclear on the concept. He approached me via facebook recently, and there was this wonderful conversation.


FF: Not a superhero team led by Reed Richards, but the family friend.
HD: Not a particularly advanced television set, but me.

FF: "So... You're gay."
HD: "Yes?"
FF: "That means... You don't like girls?"
HD: "Yes..."
FF: "Okay. So you like guys?"
HD: "That's right."
FF: "Oh. Er... How do you like guys?"
HD: "Same way you like girls."
FF: "I mean, like, romantically, or sexually, or...?"
HD: "Its pretty much being straight but with more penis."
FF: "Oh... So you like guys."
HD: "Yes."
FF: "Ah... What do you do with them?"

What do I do with them?

WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM?

What, do you want DETAILS? A specific list of activities I partake in?

Just look up sodomy. You'll get an education.

So, uh, I guess there's no point in my hitting on you, right?

I enjoy a good flirt, but its not going anywhere unless you get a sex change.

[fireheart]

at the whole conversation.

He reminds me of that girl that someone posted in brain burps a while ago....the girl basically went "So if a gay man wanted to have sex with me...."

Otherwise, I take it he's never seen Bruno then?

to quote Jayne, I could stand to hear a little more

then again, Hyena, I feel your pain... I've still got friends in denial that I'm gay and no longer Mormon... even though my facebook has photos from gay pride parades, I've before worn shirts that say things like 'wink if you're gay' and my car has a bumper sticker that says 'gay geeks are sexy'

How in the heck can someone not understand that Gay means unstraight? Doesn't like the opposite sex?

It's kind of like wondering how someone cannot understand the concept of Absolute Value.

Well, I'm in Massachusetts. But my boyfriend might object...

Gay AND a different religion? Sheesh, let's not tax his brain too much.

[BaristaTrav]

Your friend there.. seems a little too curious if you ask me. Keep your eye on that one.

[Sheldonrs]

Perhaps he's just trying to get a promotion and wants your help in how to polish someone brass. ;-)

I'm telling my age on this one, but way back before the word "gay" was in common use, I once had a college roommate who asked me (no, I don't know why she was asking ME) "what queers do with each other." I said that I thought they had oral sex. She looked mystified and said, "But kissing isn't satisfying."

I kid you not.
