I can think of an assumption that is still doing the rounds.
So-

As a heterosexual man, do you feel threatened in any way by homosexual men?
What does the phrase 'gay panic' mean to you?
I am a bit uncomfortable around homosexual men. That doesn't necessarily mean I think gay marriage should be illegal or anything, however; it just means that there's this irrational thought in my mind that this gay man may try something physical. That, or any physical contact from me may be sexual.

I KNOW how stupid and irrational that thought is, but it's there.

Why on earth do you like women? I can hardly stand them myself!
I can hardly stand women myself, sometimes. :p

I like women, because to me, they are the most beautiful creatures in existence. Sometimes though, one of those creatures has a beautiful personality to match, and that makes some heteros fall in love.

Are you a part of the heterosexual agenda, if so, why are you trying to force your lifestyle on America?
I myself aren't arent forcing the heterosexual agenda. But growing up, being gay was considered gross and unmanly. So the society I grew up in, as well as the media, sort of molded me into thinking that the hetero-lifestyle is the only way.

I'm concerned that one of my friends may be straight. How should I approach this?

Oh buddy...I don't envy your position. Be careful so that your friend doesn't try to convert you. They are a dangerous breed! Exercise caution my friend!


Btw, I too recieved a large donation of blessings! What a pleasant surprise.

I "three" received a large donation of blessings anonymously. Must be going around. Do you think it is catching? Thank you Anonymous! ;)

Seriously! Who is our masked philanthropist?

I'll be on guard! Wily straight guys, trying to innocuously draw me into their lady-loving horde. I will just have to stand strong and resist!

I do know what you mean- if I'm in a non-specifically gay area, there's always a chance that a straight man is going to hit on me.* And the possibility that having a conversation with a straight man will come across as an indicator of attration. It does make social interaction a bit of a minefield...
This is true for straight women as well.

To any straight men who don't realise how daft their fears are, all I can say is 'Welcome to the female world, dudes!'


*Actually, I got hit on by a straight man on Canal Street (Manchester's gay clubs and bars area) when I was with my girlfriend!

*URGENT*

You will need:

1. Holy Water
2. Star of David
3. Pot

The Star of David should protect you. Pour the holy water on to confuse him again. And as for the rest of it...whatever.

Oh! And I have a question for the straight menz;

When you're out on the town and you see those girls, you know the ones: high heels, teeny dresses, long nails, overdone hair/makeup, etc, what do you really think? And what do you think of straight irls who kiss other girls just for the attention?

And, have you ever been hit on by a gay man? If so, how did you feel? and how did you diffuse the situation?

And, seriously, why do guys have a thing for mullets and rats-tails now?

With so many of us all receiving 2 million blessings each, I have wondered who would have so many to pass out, since normally they come out of the donor's own blessings account. I'm beginning to suspect that it is a Christmas present from the administrators and the site owner.
