    I dont think its being sensitive...i feel its 100% attention seeking..which id suggest doesn't help other Gay men,probably just the opposite as people get fed up with the Camp guy screaming for attention and then getting upset when he gets the attention..which he wanted the whole time.

    Trust me I speak from experience. I'm quite a masculine gay man but my ex bf was a drama queen who constantly engineered arguments at work so that he could accuse people of being homophobic toward him. I found it laughable myself.

    Sounds like you have a great attitude to life...:beer:

    I appreciate some straight men can be attention seekers...i never knew Russel Kane (think he is a comedian or something) was straight,nearly choked on my coffee when he mentioned his wife.

    I know its wrong but just assumed from his very camp nature he was Gay...:o

    Thankfully not all gay men a this sensitive. I think where it becomes a problem is when you are so defined by your sexuality that your 'gayness' ends up being all there is to you.

    In my case being gay is only a part of who I am, so I wouldn't bat an eyelid at the scenarios in this topic. I'd love a dildo from santa and it wouldnt be me getting bashed round the head with it lol

    Hey PM me your address and i"ll send you a 6ft dildo..he"s called Jayson and works for me.

    And your more than welcome to do what you will with him...just please dont return him,after all he is for life not just Christmas...:D

    I've met plenty of enormous dildos just like jayson. In fact I have one as a work colleague myself at the moment, well I say that but he's actually more of a huge pr!Ck then anything else :cool:

    Don't assume that a reference to 'wife' or 'husband' means anything. There is a gay female comedian who refers to her female partner as her husband.

    I dont understand the description of being 'outed'. Your sexuality doesnt have any bearing on your ability to do your job or anything else.

    I have never been 'outed' as a heterosexual and dont expect to be any time soon as though its even newsworthy.

    If your being called names or being bullied because of it thats different you should complain to your superiors. Otherwise get on with your life.

    Have you ever been discriminated against, made fun of, or felt uncomfortable about being heterosexual? If not then you don't understand what it means to come out*?

    *And do remember people don't just come out as Gay/Bi once, they do it time and time again.

    Yes good point...should have known that as my sister in law is a lesbian but she is the male role in the relationship.

    I think this guy said she..as in she is a northern girl and as we know they go out wearing very little when its cold...or something similar.
