Gay Conversation

Jabz's Bloggin': March 2006

I haven't had that many gay men as friends, though I wish I did. There were 2 cool ones I used to work with back in 99-00 in a group home for developmentally disabled adults. Brian and Oscar, they were a couple. Brian and I were promoted to "Facilitators", a fancy term for manager, of 2 of the homes, respectively. Brian, we called, "Jack" after Will and Grace. As he always said, he didn't walk across the room, he "sacheted". (excuse the spelling!). One day we were talking and I told him I was glad I was a woman and a lesbian because I could not be a gay man and do "those" things. He said in his Jack-like voice, "oh honey, I know, cuz I could not do those things you women do, that is SO disgusting!" I know they live in Denver somewhere now and I miss them both! What fun! Maybe someday I will find them!

The Gay Test

No, it's not the test you think, but instead my own personal one that happened to come along. I lived in Wyoming for 6 years, due to moving there for a woman(go figure!). Well, I left said woman after about a year. During the time I was with her, she had a friend, James(I will call him), who was married but visited us quite often. I somehow assumed(my bad), that he understood that I was gay and that we were a couple. He drove for UPS and came to visit me after I'd left my gf. So here we are chatting, sitting on my couch and me, with the assumption that he knew I was a lesbian. Wrong. He began to touch my leg several times and then I got up nervously off the couch making up some lame excuse of things I had to do, places I needed to be. This was my test. Lordy, I felt so disgusted I took 2 showers! I told my gay friend Brian later that day at work...."You know, every once and awhile, you need a test to let you know just how gay you really are. Now I know, I AM SOOO GAY!" It makes me laugh that I've had more men hit on me since I've come out than when I thought I was straight. It's just a little reminder.
