Honestly who gives a shit if someone thinks you're gay?

Especially when it's because of something fucking stupid.

I think what this means is that a lot of men out there secretly fear being gay more than anything else.

A few years ago some redneck moron screamed at me from his enormous diesel truck "f*****" when I was walking with the girl I was boning at the time. What I translated it to was "you look physically fit and it angers me that I look much worse than you, especially because I wish I could sleep with a woman who looks like that." It actually was kind of flattering even though they wanted to hurt me.

Exactly. As a gay dude, I'm afraid of being perceived as gay because of violent homophobes. Other guys are afraid of being perceived as gay because they are homophobic. We are not the same.

I hope you realize I'm saying it's sad and pointless for straight dudes to care about this

I'm in a similar situation, but I'm afraid of being perceived as geigh by violent homophones

Can confirm as a pervert whose gone to "adult video stores," a LOT of the people who are loudly and violently anti-gay in public can be found lurking in the dark halls of the booths.
