Hello, I'm Gay

[Nyoibo]

"I hate you because you're an asshole, not because you shove your dick in them."

I have got to remember that one.

[rts]

I had to double check where you're from, AdvancedFlea. Because for a moment there I though you had a run in with my brother! That is what he comes out with anytime he doesn't get his way.

The last time I was around for him tossing a fit and trotting out the whole 'you're discriminating against me because I'm gay' I just about killed myself laughing. The guy he said it to turned around and said, "I hate you because you're an asshole, not because you shove your dick in them."

My brother was very pissed off when I didn't back him up. I was too busy holding onto the edge of the counter because I was laughing hard enough to almost fall down!

Now that is hilarious!!!! I'll have to store that line away for future reference!!!

If I go to a gay bar, can I play the straight card and demand a discount?

I'm straight. I live in a town with several gay bars and a very open gay population.

You can, of course, go to a gay bar, play the straight card, and demand a discount.

You won't, however, GET one. What you will get is a whole shitload of dirty looks and angry stares from staff and patrons.

I know this not from doing it myself (I'll drink wherever there's cold beer, gay bar or straight bar, I care not), but from seeing people try similar stunts, or basically making their "straightness" an issue by making sure everyone knows that, yes, this is a gay bar, but THEY are straight.

Generally speaking, most of the rest of the people in the gay bar that hear or see this shit, whether they are gay or straight, could care less about the speakers's sexual orientation....they just think he is a raging prick.

You know, I gotta try something similar. You know, walk into a place and state "I'm an asshole."

I often do something vaguely similar.

When I know I am clueless about something I need (more often than you would think), I walk up to the nearest staffer at the store in question and politely say, "Hi, I'm an idiot. Can you help me find [whatever]?"

It's amazing how great the service and help is when I use this particular line. That is, when they finish laughing.

There's a few gay bars around here. I know a straight guy who works in one. He tells me that he gets it a lot. he says when he hears "I'm straight" from a customer he usually replies with "So am I. I couldn't give a damn"

Wouldn't that make him Bi?

Depends on what you're defining "it" as. Might not be that. Might be the other.

I would probably say something along the lines of, "And your point?" while looking at them like they are idiots. Which, of course, they are.

SC: I’m a homosexual

My response would ahve been less polite... and more along the lines of "um, who cares?" or "dude, i don't give a flying fuck what you do at home"

mostly cos... yeah i'm conservative but ... all i care about is whether or not the sex wakes me up (and that goes for straight sex too). i hate people waking me up with teh sex noise.


but i suspect he just wanted to be a bitch and pretend his gayness was making him suffer so he could go around and whine about it. He sounds more whiney than gay.


besides, a lot of gay men don't actually look gay... so if he hadn't said a damn thing you wouldn't have known anyway.

Therefore I suspect he just brought it up to be a whiney bitch and play the "oh society is hard on me, cry cry cry, all the straight people want to make me suffer for my choice"

i mean wtf, get over yourself dude.
and grow a set of balls. (yes gay men have them too... but yours have apparently been misplaced!)

[AdvancedFlea]

oh god, tell me about it.

I have seen people who use the "I'm gay, socitity hates me" card before now...this usually ends up in me punching them one because I HATE people like that.

Honestly, I'm gay but I can't STAND the type of gay guy who act really...well...like that guy I had to deal with. They give us a bad reputation!

"I'm gay."

"Huh, I always thought Gay was a girl's name."

My aunt's name is Gaye and sometimes she forgets to say 'my name is' when she's introducing herself.

"oh society is hard on me, cry cry cry, all the straight people want to make me suffer for my choice"

No gay person thinks that.

[Broomjockey]

No gay person thinks that.

Nope. Just emos.

[RetailWorkhorse]

Nope. Just emos.

Emos taste good dipped in peanut butter. A little bit salt, a little bit sweet, a whole lotta creamy. Well, unless you use the chunky, but then there's peanut stuck in weird places.

I definitely suggest the creamy.

[Nyoibo]

I prefer Emu.

I am not gay and won't pretend to understand what gay people have gone through.

I am, however, Jewish, and am sickened by the Jews who use that same basic card. "Oh, we've been persecuted for 5000 years, woe is us, blah blah blah gefilte fish-cakes blah."

Generally speaking, this sentiment comes out of middle or upper-class Jews who personally have never had to struggle for diddly shit. My response to them is often along the lines of, "You think you have it bad? Talk to a black person in this country. Or a Native American. Or better yet, look at our own history and read up on the Holacaust." That usually leaves them wide-eyed and slack-jawed and blissfully silent.

And no, I am not looking to start a debate or cause any issues....was merely stating my own annoyance with my fellow Jews who pull this nonsense. Please, no hate mail. Send it to the Pharaoh.

No gay person thinks that.

If only that were true, but every group in society has some unpleasant members, and just as there are Jews and blacks and Hispanics who play the persecution card without merit, I guarantee you there are gays who do the same.

Okay, I'm gonna shut up now before I get myself in even more trouble.
