Are these people gay?
THEN:
A few years ago, I was out at a restaurant/bar with three guys. It was early in the evening, the bar hadn’t really gotten started, and we just wanted some food.
We could have sat in these sort of high stool-chairs, very close to blaring speakers near an empty dance floor.
But that seemed uncomfortable and impractical, so I steered us to a booth. It was a big booth, but a booth all the same.
My buddies practically revolted. Apparently, these guys don’t sit in a booth together. What if our legs touched or something?
I didn’t realize it, but sitting on the same side of a booth as another guy is just one step short of anonymous homosexual release at a truck stop.
NOW:
Today, a guy and I were talking about going to a movie. I mentioned the animated movie, Up.
Now, some people don’t want to see animated movies, so I was prepared for him to say no thanks. He didn’t.
He said that he’d be happy to see an animated movie as part of a group of people, or with a girl. But he wouldn’t see it with just one other guy.
As it happened, there were other people coming along, so he’s ok with it.
Anyway, I obviously missed the whole class on “Everyday nonsexual things that you have to watch out for because apparently some people think that doing these things implies that you’re gay, and God knows you don’t want that or everything will explode.”
