Do people assume you're gay?

Yup all the time

I mean who wouldn't if you're a worshipper of Kathy Griffin stand up and a lover of Madonna and Kylie Minogue tunage

screw the father, son, holy spirit crap. I've got the trinity of awesomness!

Listen, if you want to know, ask me, and the only reason to ask is because you are interestent, but no matter what my orientation is I have no interest in you, so theirfore you do not need to know. SImple.

A lot of people thought i was gay, and at the start i thought it was you know the manly insult people to be friends with them(which I still haven't really got, but i can give as good as i get and it genrally works...) but now they are really serious about the whole gay thing. I guess its because they know I'm not as good as them at asking woman out and they have never seen me with a woman so they instantly think that because I'm rubbish at it i must like the my own sex. I genrally reply in a gay tone and pretend that I am gay and that I will be working on to them...it usually stops them and makes them go away but i don't think it helps my situation...

Yeah, I find myself in the same situation all the time. At School, not so much. But now that im out in the workforce with a bunch of Macho-insecure men with s**t for brains, I get hassled about it alot. Usually I just ignore it.

They do because I make sure that they know that I am gay.

it happens to me, too. because i am always alone, i have no girlfriend, i don't talk about girls and sex and i take care of my look, i do my hair, i do sport to look good. but it's mostly the fact that i never initiate or join any discussion about girls.

it happens to me and usually i let it slide when people give me crap about it. but just this past weekend, a few of us guys from work had a boys night out and when we were headed home at dawn, we passed a bus stop with an advertisment for men's underwear featuring a half naked male model. one of my 'co-workers' joked, 'hey, hal9000 look there.' then there was an uncomfortable silence in the car and no one laughed. i ignored him but its stuff like that that gets me angry.

just because i'm single and quite good looking, i MUST be gay. i questioned whether i was gay, but i am not sexually attracted to men. i do feel attraction to women but usually its not that strong that i feel i need to act on them. i guess i've got a non-existent sex drive. also, my lack of social skills and fear of rejection get in the way. sometimes i just wanna retreat from all these ignorant people and lock myself up in my comfort zone.

I get that a lot as well....

oh hell yeah....but...CAN YOU BLAME THEM?

XD

It's happened to me maybe once. But anyone can see that I'm straight.

I've had problems with chavs that think I'm gay because of how articulate I am but they don't count for much.

I am pansexual (similar to bi) and my brother knew my sexual orientation before I did. Also, the girl I have a major crush on (she may become my girlfriend, time will tell) made a comment about an advantage to being in a same sex relationship on 19 February (about a month before my brother told me that I like her) and also knew that I liked her before I came out to her. I guess some times people can tell that you like someone even if you like the person without consciously admitting it.

Isn't pansexual you like other species as well as woman and men or am I watching Torchwood to much?

Pansexual is when you like more than two genders bisexual implies a gender binary and pansexual includes male, female, trans, intersex...
Wikipedia has a good article on pansexuality

Ah ok...

I love Kathy Griffin! She can imitate people like no one, like Sharon Stone or Gwyneth Paltrow.

Of course, if you like all three of those women, people might think you're leaning on the other side of the fence.
