I gathered it was a distinct attribute, but my question suggested that you could in theory go from one to the other, thus (as you put it) downgrade, as surely all flaming gays start of as just gays do they not?

No, all men start out as females...

Did you know your dick was actually a vagina that grew?

no. i know flaming straight guys, and of the flaming gay guys i know, they were never non-flaming. some of them tried to hide it, but they've always been that way.

The flaming guys can be a little bit annoying when they go out of their way to let you know they're gay. Otherwise, I could care less.

Srsly. Flamers have a personality that would be annoying no matter what their sexual orientation was. Insecure attention whores of all stripes are high profile annoying.

I've never seen the attraction to lesbians, don't get me wrong what they get up to is awesome to watch, but it's part of the sexual experience we (men) will never be involved in..?

Spectator sports are highly attended in the US. The spectators often feel deeply involved.

Coming off the bench from your ringside seat as a possession receiver late in the contest when both defenses are worn down would be awesome.

^^^^ Oops. Obscure for you American football references. Think impossibly large and sweaty men in tights and fashion forward shoulder pads, where the action begins each play with one guy putting his hands up into another guy's taint while that second guy is bent completely over.

Coaches rewards good plays by slapping you on the butt. And after the game, everyone takes a shower together!

I don't care if anyone's gay. I don't want people to think I'm gay.

The second is true mostly because my chances with available females are too slim already to survive any such false rumors.

I can definitely see the appeal

i think flaming queens are by and large a direct reaction to how they felt about themselves. ie spent a long time thinking they are crap for being homosexual and then when they are able to express themselves they just go bonkers. just imo of course.

No, I do not care if people are straight or gay or whatever
I am gay, used to care what people thought of it, stopped caring about it a few years ago

I don't understand the preoccupation with what other consenting adults do.

One of my best male friends is gay. He just came out a year ago.

When he first told me while extremely drunk, I was taken aback, but aside from some friendly ragging, me no give a shit. Although, I think I may be his type (physically at least), so ya... No, I don't swing that way.

Never been bothered by homosexuality, and don't think I'll ever be. If you want to be gay, go for it. It's no business of mine, and if you makes you happy... all the better.

I really don't understand why so many people are worried about other people's sexuality. There are a lot of gay/lesbian/transgender people at my work and I can't believe how many people won't even talk to them just because of their orientation. Some of the gay dudes are the funniest people I have ever met. The TG's are fun because they just don't give a f*ck.

And then there's ATOT...

It seems like a lot of people here treat our gay members (slight pun intended) like lower class posters. I don't understand this. How can you be intimidated by someone across the country from you? Its not like they are going to play sneak the sausage when you aren't looking.

And then there's me...

I am comfortable enough in my sexuality that I can joke around about homosexual stuff. I don't care what kind of crazy notions people have about me. I know I'm straight.

So how do you feel? Do you care if someone is gay? Do you care if someone thinks you're gay?


No and No

I'm going to try to articulate this best I can. I have been drinking and I took a bunch of benadryl.

I think a lot of the problems I have don't stem with whether someone is gay or straight. Its the reaction people have. We as a society that's mostly straight seem to react to every major gay event in society as if we all just witnessed man discover fire.

I think there are better more worthwhile things to worry about. Its a disservice to gay people to point out everything they do, and I think it detracts for them getting "accepted" whatever that means. If people just let them do their thing and have the same rights I'm pretty sure things will be ok.

I care, though not necessarily in a negative way.

it's nice knowing who I can flirt with and who can flirt with me.

it's always annoyed me a little that I don't really come across as gay if you only know me in a superficial manner, because I feel like it limits my options as far as where I can meet people.

I don't care that you're gay.

^^^
Nailed it with the first post.


I don't care if people are gay/religious/Rams fans/whatever. I only begin to care when they make their business my business. Keep it to yourself and don't make it cost me money.

As for how people think about me, I do care that people do not think that I am something that I am not IRL (see partial list above). On the internet, feh.

i say i don't care, but i probably do. i don't know. i have nothing against people's sexual orientation but i don't really care for people that are super ultra flaming gay. it's like ok, your entire persona is based on the fact that you want the world to know that you prefer people of the same sex. that's worse than being fake... it's faker than fake. i hate lispers. there, you got two cents out of me on it.
