My gay friend came out straight.

The BBQ Pit

Not really a pit rant, but it is really really wierd.

For two years I have been friends with this guy Mark. Mark is awesome. He’s funny, nerotic, a total neat freak and remarkably good at “your mom” jokes. For two years, so we thought, Mark was gay.

A couple days, Mark’s roomate asked Mark if he was really just a closet straight. Mark said yes. Mark is straight.

Mark is straight.

That is so wierd.

It’s not a bad thing, really, it is just a wierd change. We would always flirt with Mark and tease him (and wrestle with him)…but now it’s kind of…different. I can’t imagine Mark scoping out chicks. I can’t wrap my mind around it. Crazy stuff.

Has he told his parents yet? I hope they accept him for who he is.

How do you know one (or both) of them isn’t A) lying or B) joking?:slight_smile:

4

Don’t worry. It’s just a phase he’s going through.

5

I’m a closet asexual, posing as a bisexual. Now that’s weird.

My husband and I were just talking about this the other day: these days, being asexual might just be the Sexual Orientation Most Likely To Leave You Feeling Like a Freak. We use sex so much in our ads, and in those things the media play between the ads, to prime us for hte ads, that anyone who dosen’t want to have sex all the time, anywhere, with anything is left feeling like there must be something wrong with them. And, of course, there is a product avalible to fix that problem.

That is truly a strange situation. Had he previously confirmed he was gay in some way that he could actually “come out?” Your OP suggests that it was more of an impression which he didn’t deny…

Otto: :smiley: Nice.

8

Being straight doesn’t mean he scopes out chicks. It just means he doesn’t like guys that way.

Hey SPOOFE, I thought I was the only closet asexual around here! :smiley:

10

hey, at least he’s not budding.

11

Exactly. (This board really needs a thumbs-up smiley.)

12

This thread just inspired my new signature.

13

Is he flagrant? As long as he’s not flagrant. I hate it when they’re flagrant. Flouting and flaunting all over the place. Cor!

It’s all right in the privacy of his own room, just not…uh, flagrant.

I just want to say for the record that if any of the men I have converted to homosexuality turn out to be heterosexual, I am NOT giving back the free toaster I earned! :slight_smile:

15

I know that this is the Pit and not really the appropriate place for a serious question, but I don’t quite understand the distinction.

Why does homosexual and heterosexual have to be an either/or choice?

16

Maybe he hasn’t met the right man yet.

Homebrew, people require a label so they know what shoebox to put people into. Without the labels, it gets kinda messy and you trip over things a lot, and the next thing you know you’re standing there, late for work, trying to find the black shoes you wear with the…

Okay, I’m leaving now.

Maybe he found Jesus. I found him myself once, he was hiding in my closet, but I caught him by the wrist and forced him to lead me to his pot of gold.

[sub]I’m kidding of course, not about the gold, that part is true, but I don’t want to give the impression I’m in favor of these ‘ex-gay’ ministries[/sub]

You know, there’s a test…

Speaking of which, where do I sign up to apply for the job of administering said test (in general, not just to sven’s friend)? :smiley:
