I am constantly surprised at how many of us are almost militant about not being thought of as gay. You would think that of all people, WE would be a little less quick to point fingers or throw stones. I myself suffer from this a bit I suppose, as it is the reason I told my older brother. After a visit home my mother told me that he asked her if I was gay. I prefered he know the truth and so I spoke to him and explained what I was, all because I didn't want him to think I may be gay.
These days I suppose my ego is a bit stronger than that and I really am not too concerned with what someone may think.
