The "I'm Not Gay, But..." Thread

To all the straight men and straight women I ask this…

For instance if you’re a straight male you might say

“Now I’m not gay, but I do enjoy musical theatre.”

Or if you’re a straight female.

“Now I’m not gay, but I do enjoy dressing up as a lumberjack.”

Disclaimer: This is all in fun :slight_smile:

So straight men and straight women, do you have “gay habits?”

“I’m not gay but I straighten my hair”

and, err…

“I’m not gay but I’d do Johnny Depp”. That count?

I’m not gay but I can catch and clean a fish! And fry it up in a pan, too. :smiley:

I like musicals, theatre, eating at little homey cafes with my Mom & her female friends. When Mom asks me clothes & jewelry advice, I can actually tell her what to wear & give good reasons for it. If Mom & I are going somewhere & we dress in similar colors, we laugh & usually don’t bother to change.

And of course, I’m in my 40’s & live with Mom.

At various points in my life my parents and several of my friends and acquaintance have assumed I’m gay.

But I’m not.

I’m not gay, but I’ve been outted.

The story was told in an MMP long ago, and is now part of my list of fire and rescue tales.

I’m not gay, but…I AM an artist by trade, I don’t get into sports, I’m in charge of cooking, cleaning and laundry, I’m our child’s primary caregiver, I’m very well-mannered, I dress interestingly, and I could easily imagine a scenario wherein I’d kiss Johnny Depp.

OK, I AM gay; I just like sex with women rather then men.

would be willing to be intimate with a man, if we found each other appealing and had a good relationship, (ie no one-night stands or anonymous experiences) and if the wife agreed to bring someone else into the relationship.

I’ve already asked a friend of mine to say this at my funeral:

Kunilou wrote fashion copy, loved musicals and could dish with the best of us. Who would’ve believed he was straight, too?”
