This video of stuff women (and not just women) say to gay men is still just a little too right on. So stop. Please.

“Can you just treat us like anyone else and not put your gay-stereotype assumptions on us?” Maybe that’s why some of the gay guys I know like hanging with the “guys?” We treat them no differently then the straight guys.. they’re just one of the guys. Maybe my circle of friends is different in that to be honest, had these guys not mentioned they had dated guys, we wouldn’t have known. And it’s funny that when they did mention it, I guess they were waiting for some off the wall comment, because they were surprised that it was no big… Read more »
