14 Things You Should Never Say to a Gay Man

“14 Things You Should Never Say to a Gay Man”

#15. To a gay couple: “Which one of you is the girl?”

#16: “My second cousin from Chicago is gay. Do you know him?”

#17: “So where to you guys meet each other?”

Any more?

18 “It’s so brave of you to defy that ‘all gay men are good looking’ stereotype.”

The only one that ruffles my feathers is when girls or gay guys call each other girls.

But lots… and I mean lots of guy guys refer to each other as “guuurl” and “bitch” and such. It’s ridiculous.

But then they’ll get mad if you ask them “which one of you is the girl?” :stuck_out_tongue:

What is wrong with asking where they met?

#19: So you like to take it up the ass?

“Did y’all meet in Glee Club?”

#20 Why didn’t you come out to me earlier?

Look, it’s not the only aspect of my life. In fact, I find it rather mundane. Moreover, you didn’t come out to me as straight so I guess we’re even. I just had this happen with a new friend.
/Frankly though, most of these questions don’t bother me too much as long as they’re done with good intentions. Outsiders don’t understand the differences and are just curious or try to see how what we do fit in their worldview. And frankly, every gay is different too.

#21. so… what’s it like?

Is it “Where did you guys meet?” Or “where do guys like you meet?” The OP is not clear. The first is ok, the latter, not so much.

Yeah, the ones that bother me are when they’re upset I don’t care to dump my purse out for them to pick through and the ones who get upset when life as my friend does not mirror rom-com movies with a blonde starlet and her sassy gay best friend.

Otherwise I don’t care. And that article annoys me because it bitches about some stereotypes while emphasizing others.

  1. Are you a top or a bottom?

That’s probably the most horrible thing that you could say (well, on this side of the homophobic line). Surprised it’s not in the top 10.

3. “I’m like a gay man trapped inside a woman’s body.”
I’m lucky enough to have only heard this (minus the “like”) from gay transmen. Do straight women really say this?

I knew a woman who probably has; she’s certainly said things very close to it. She hangs her hat on her “fag hag” identity because, IMO, of her extraordinarily bad dating choices; sticking to that lets her avoid any responsibility for her own part in dating. She can be all ‘gay men are so awesome! (but of course they’re unattainable so they’re the perfect date for me)’ and not face up to how her own desperate / overly-clingy / ‘turns into psycho bitch when rejected’ behavior drives off straight men. Think of the stereotypical “men are threatened by strong women!” attitude when she’s also a somewhat mean person, and that’s it. (And this speaking as a woman who wasn’t ever ‘all that.’)

I thought you guys were supposed to be neat.

#23: I’ve always wanted my own gay! Can I be your Fag Hag?

Agreed, not a good question to ask. I have friends, however, who have matching baseball shirts. One says “Pitcher” and one says “catcher”

#24: Sorry, in what Bizarro universe is it even possible for a woman’s vagina to be repellent and a man’s asshole to be attractive?

That’s truly awesome. :smiley:

“Uranus makes me feel uncomfortable”?

Use more lube?
