Am I Gay?

I spotted this over at Idle Eyes and a Dormy.

You Are 38% Stereotypically Gay

 

You definitely have some stereotypically gay traits. You might set off a person's gaydar now and then. If you are not actually gay, you could be mistaken for gay from time to time. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

How Stereotypically Gay Are You?

The quiz reminded me of my last night in New Orleans. I was walking alone up Bourbon Street, which is practically all bars with a healthy dose of strip clubs and restaurants thrown in. A guy was outside one of the strip-atoriums (don't get me started on how I abhor the mere idea of strip clubs) and he was trying to corral folks into the venue, me included when I reached him on the sidewalk. I had to laugh. At the time I thought that he thought that I was straight. Maybe he didn't even look at the people he approached, I was simply the next warm body walking by. Anyway, he was a total babe. The skanky strippers hanging out and smoking in the entryway, not so much.

I mentioned it to my bff and she said that she figured most of the folks we encountered that weekend thought we were a couple and, by extension, that I was straight.

She'd seen many guys cruising me — of course, I am totally oblivious to that. She's got the benefit of spotting it since she's a third-person observer who isn't on their radar. It's always good to have a second pair of eyes to keep you informed of one's surroundings. Especially if you walk through life with blinders on like me.

Anyway, for good or for bad, in some situations I pass as straight. In the end, I'm just me.
