Things NOT to Ask a Gay Person
The video isn't graphic but maybe don't watch it if you don't like hearing words like "dick" or "penis".
I'm just going to add on a couple of questions I have been asked or things I have been told regarding me being a lesbian that are either amusing or piss me off:
1. Are you gay because you can't get a boyfriend?
No. I'm pretty confident that if I wanted a boyfriend, I could find one. I have dated guys in the past. It has nothing to do with me deciding women are more "available", especially in this town (How many out gay girls are there, really? And I think I've only met one other full lesbian). I'm just not attracted to guys, thanks.
2. So if you like girls, does that mean you want to be a boy?
No. I like being a girl, thanks, and I also like being a girl who likes girls. I have never in my life seriously thought "I wish I was a boy". There is a difference between sexuality and gender identity.
3. So you're a lesbian? I could change that.
Ahahahahaha no you can't. Don't bother.
4. You and (insert name here) should like, dyke out in front of me.
No joke, last weekend at a party, some drunk guy started hitting on me and upon learning that I'm a lesbian, requested that I "dyke out" with his "dyke friend" in front of him. I'm not gay for the entertainment of straight men, and I'm sure there are plenty of drunk straight girls who will make out in front of you because you think it's hot, kthx :)
5. How can you be gay, I remember you having boyfriends...?
It's called denial. There are plenty of gay individuals who date the opposite gender before realizing it's just not gonna work, even gay people who go on to get married and have kids before realizing it.
6. You can't know you're a lesbian for sure because you haven't experimented enough yet, you're too young.
a) How do you know I haven't experimented? Since when are the details of a person's sex life etched on our faces? It's none of your business what I have and haven't done in order to come to the obvious conclusion that I'm gay.
b) Do I have to sleep with a guy to be sure? I mean really, do you have to sleep with a member of the same sex to be sure you're straight? I don't think so.
7. So do you think I'm attractive? Do you have a crush on me?
Rule #1 that I live by: don't chase straight girls. There's a little thing called gaydar that lets me know when it is and isn't safe to crush on a girl. If you're straight then chances are I haven't looked twice at you. Also, I am not attracted to every girl on the planet, the same way you are not attracted to every guy on the planet. So please don't flatter yourself.
