- The reply I will always remember was from a friend I came out to over
- drinks one evening after shopping for a b'day present for his girlfriend.
- His reply was "can we go out sometime?" Which sort of shocked the sox
- off me. I came to find that he is gay but decided to go the marriage
- route just to get his family off his back.
-
- A recent conversation went:
-
- Them Me
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- "You're gay?!?" "yup."
- "Do you have a boyfriend?" "yup."
- "Is he gay too?" "I think so. But I'll check."
