Sunday, March 27, 2005 Taylor Hanson is a guy. In high school, I was co-President of Spectrum, a gay-straight-lesbian-you know, like, whatever you want to be club. Discrimination of gays and lesbians makes my hair stand on end. So why did I want the gay guy in my store to leave so badly just now? He was a nice guy. Very polite, even complimented the store - he did nothing wrong. This was only the second time I've seen him in the store, so I'm not bored by him, either. Oddly, the driving force behind my impulse to run and hide was the possibility that I think he was hitting on me. Not overtly, but noticeably. As an enlightened male comfortable with my sexuality, this should be of no consequence (although, it doesn't take much to make me, ezra "(fill in the blank) makes me nervous" selove, uncomfortable about much of anything). Am I not as englightened as I think? I've had gay friends, gay bosses (two of them, in fact), and I have gay family members, so my uneasiness is distressing. I assume it's the result of just never having been hit on by someone of the same sex. How does or should one respond to that? Is it polite to say, "sorry, "I like chicks. A lot", or is that rude? I imagine it is. I suppose it can be likened to being hit on by someone of the opposite sex you have no interest in. You have nothing against them, there's just have no interest. As far as I know as a thick skulled male, this has never happened to me, but I've experienced it from the other side of the coin, so my interpretation is based on what I've reacted to. Then what is wrong with being hit on by a member of the same sex? Now know I have universal appeal. One guy and a couple chicks dig me. That's not so bad, I can live with it. I won't even worry that I 'seem gay.' First, because that doesn't real mean anything unless you are Harvey Fierstein. Second, no gay man is going to be anywhere near as awkard around females as me. For real, I'm about as awkward a hilltop in kansas. Just to prove how comfortable I am though with my sexuality, not that I need to, I want everyone to answer this one question: Who wouldn't wanna do this guy?  Come on, don't lie to yourself. posted by ezruh sellof at 2:14 PM 1 comments |
