Ah, the things that you listed off would give one the idea that you were gay by perceiving you as gay. Therefore, you do those things because you're not afraid of being seen as gay for following stereotypes.
Not by my friends, no, because they KNOW me. Therefore, they are not going to perceive me as gay. It's not like I'd go walking down the street in a dress. Stereotypes, ha. Did you mean gay stereotypes? I'm more the sk8ter boy stereotype, I always thought drag was a weird juxtaposition, actually.
BUT. When it is up in the air as to whether or not you ARE gay, you become very defensive (as of right now).
It's not up in the air. I'm not gay. It was up in the air several weeks ago, didja miss it? I wasn't getting annoyed with people then, because whatever people had to say about being bi was legitimate for that situation.
No, this is still about perception.
And - ahem - this isn't defensive, this is pissed off. Sorry for making the start of this post, I was mainly kidding around. The second part is what I wanted feedback on, if I got any, and it annoys me we're still stuck at this part.
I will admit, if that's what you want, that I overreacted a bit on the last post. But I didn't want a huge misunderstanding going on about this.
Oh and the joking? That could be a defense mechinism.
I haven't the foggiest what you mean. Trying to burn down a gay bar is denial, but humour is healthy, nu?
