The final say on the "Gay" issue!

[Valeria]

When asked if you are gay (and you aren't), simply look at them and say...

Yes, I'm a lesbian/gay man (for our handsome FTM).

That should shut them up long enough for you to have a chuckle at their expense.

I know that you and Lex have already discussed this, and I know that you mean well, and I agree completely with the spirit of your post.

But FWIW, I'm not certain I'd be pleased with people who don't share my orientation (or possibly even my gender) coopting part of my identity for a "prank" - even when they've been provoked with a question they find tiresome.
