You know......I'm most definitely straight, but I've had many friends of mine who were gay and lesbian.
Personally? I prefer the gays and lesbians over the straights. Why? Simple.....I've never seen a pushy gay dude. I've had several proposition me over the years, but, whenever I said no, they went on about their business.
Gays are also generally more intelligent than straights.
When I was in Norfolk, I lived as a "beard" for 2 lesbians who were my best friends. Hated it when I had to leave to move to Amarillo.
On my first ship, had a friend of mine named Paul, and I went out partying with him quite a bit......seems straight chicks are attracted to gay dudes, and Paul would make sure that I hooked up with women from whatever port we were in. He'd attract and charm 'em, and then turn them loose on me.
Nope......I definitely like gay people.
"I'm most definitely straight" Oh ya...most definitly.
I had very similar experiences when I lived in Provincetown, Huggy.
Once gays know you're definitely straight, and NOT a homophobe, they're often excellent people to know.
Of course if you are homophobic, that is going to be so apparent to most gays that you'll never know if what AB-Biker and I are telling you is true.
