I work with plenty of gay men. A few of them are some of the best indivduals I know… but I don’t fall for them.

I’ve fallen for female co-workers, but never a gay male co-worker.

I guess I think of my gay co-workers and friends as brothers. Great people but not interested in them sexually.

Well, I must add here that the one or two gay men I fell for, I didn’t _know_ they were gay till it was Too Late! Then we became good friends, after a suitable time of me swanning around being tragic like Susan Hayward in _Back Street_.

Of course, I’ve fallen for straight men, too—but that’s never worked out, either.

Maybe my friend and I should pretend to be gay to capitalize on this phenomenon…

Never been in love with a gay man, but my roommate was and still is in love with J. Almost 20 years now, she never married, hasn’t dated as far as I know, is still a technical virgin and is still maintains contact with him.
