Why do people instantly think...

[Sammy777]

Just because a dude says he's attracted to dudes doesn't mean he's gay.
Sheesh, can't a man just make sweet love to another man without people thinking he's gay?

Dude! That was awesome, you totally rocked my world, can we cuddle? Oh and uh, "No Homo"

Sorry, couldn't resist. :D

Seriously thought, sure its a misconception and yes many people may have the wrong picture about "All CD'ers must be Gay".
But let's get real here for a second, being thought of or seen as Gay/Homosexual is not an exclusive problem of CD'ers.

I know I've told this story on here before, but here goes again.
[This took place many years ago before being out (TS) even to myself, and still thought/considered myself a "Straight - Guy"]
I had a best friend "Bob". Real short version: My whole family loved him and considered him "one of the family".

So, one day I'm with my Aunt and her B/F "John" (Was also "one of the family", someone I'd known pretty much my whole life.)
At this point in time I, my family and "John" had known my friend "Bob" for about 10+ years now.

(its been a long time, so a bit of paraphrasing going on here)
So me and "John" are talking and he asks me where "Bob" is? Home.
So how are things going with you and "Bob" Fine...? Why you ask?
Just expected to see him here, you two have known each other for how long now? IDk 10yrs?

That's a long time to be with someone. HUH?? What do you mean?
Well you two are together right? I mean he's your B/F right?

****Shocked pause**** You mean "Bob"? Uh no, he's just my friend.
(I wasn't mad or upset or pissed. It was just something I wasn't expecting to hear.)

Well he's always around, I just thought you two were a couple. Uh nope. LOL.

So you really thought we were a couple? Yes.
So this whole time ... You thought I was Gay? Yes I did. That's funny!
** Conversation continues normally **

So, My reaction to finding this out? Had a good laugh about it with "John" and was not the least bit offended by it.
This person I grew up around (thought of as family) had thought for at least the last 10+ years that I was legitimately Gay.

In closing, Regular folk get mistaken for "Gay" all the time too for a lot of different reasons.
So, Don't get your panties all up in a bunch because someone (you don't even like) thinks you're "probably" Gay for CD'ing.
