Do people suspect you're LGBT?

Well, the reactions I got when I first came out were something along the lines of, "But you can't be gay! You're so pretty/feminine! I mean, it just doesn't make sense!" So no, no one has any idea. I feel like people assume guys are gay more than they assume girls are. But maybe that's just the people I know. ^-^

 

Yeah. I don't pass as male very well so everyone assumes I'm a really butch lesbian.

 

Generally speaking, no.

Though there was one friend who said he kinda suspected it. But he only started suspecting it when I told him I was asexual. That was when I was 19, and I've been friends with him since I was 6.

 

I wished they at least suspected, that way I wouldn't need to elaborate the craziest of schemes on " how to come out".
So for the time being to the people who surround me, I'm as straight as Taylor Swift. That's really messed up since I actually never done or said anything that would imply that I'm straight. :dry:

 

Nope, but as soon as I start talking then yeah.

 

Well, at first they didn't. Then the whole having sex with a man thing kind of gave it away somehow.

Seriously though - people largely do not suspect that I am gay. I have to out right tell them 100% of the time. I find this works to my advantage, but also to my own despair. Its hard to find another gay man interested in a generally masculine man. I wish I was more femenine, in fact I make efforts to be so. But I'm a 5.5 on the Kinsey scale, yet I look like a 1. I wear a pride bracelet, dress nicely, and apparently I stand like a girl (lol). But other than that no I'm hard to detect.

 

I'm so obvious, I'm sure people would suspect just by chatting with me that I'm gay.

 

Sort of. At first when I started to come out to people they said that I did not seem gay at all and that I surprised them. Now that I express myself more, people are not that surprised and they actually just go on with the conversation as if they knew.

 

I'm not really sure. I think I am really good at "acting striaght" but, at the same time I'm the only person with a questionable opinion towards things.

I can see why people would maybe suspect me. It's just not very obvious unless, I open up to you on a deep level.

 

When I was in the closet I got asked a lot and most people suspected it. I have always been an advocate for the community even when closeted, so that added to the curiosity. When I came out, no one was surprised. I was expecting a big deal and lots of negativity, but when I came out they were just kind of like "Ah, I always figured."

 

Not at all, which is surprising considering how I have my hair styled and colored. Many people just look at me and go "Aw he let his girlfriend do his hair."

 

Yes, most people kind of assume because I fit some of the sterotypes. MOST of the. In fact I'm flamboyant and my voice and the way I talk I mean I just, idk! Also I'm open with everything so out of what I say people assum. For the sake of example;
Adam(teacher[first name basis]) share something with us about you
Lenys(friend):I'm a cheerleader but Im not stuck up like many of you beleive
Josiah(friend):I like to sing
Me:I like romantic novels
Lenys:wow you're awesome considering I don't kown many guys who would admit that, are you gay?
Me: yes but that has nothing to do with me liking romantic novels!
All:*laugh*

 

Most of the time they don't. Sometimes people suspect I'm gay if I'm with a girl. I've also been hit on by girls before, so I must have at least some gay vibe.

 

Apparently, people have a somewhat hard time telling I'm gay. People are like "Wow, I would have never guessed..." when I come out to them.

 

Eh, if they do, they keep it to themselves. I've heard through the grapevine that people suspect that I am, but, being at a private Christian university, it's too taboo to outwardly ask about, so everything remains rumor. I suppose I'm more often seen as an independent tomboy that's just not interested in relationships.

 

Not at all.

In fact, everyone thinks that I'm just randomly hooking up with women for some reason. :lol:

 

Nope. I'm quite feminine and absolutely everybody I've come out to so far has asked the question, "Really?" and in some cases "are you sure?" So mysterious.

 

I don't have the faintest idea. Some days, I pass as male and others I get misgendered and not sure if anyone has a clue.

 

Eh, as far as I can tell; no. Although I am not too subtle and tend to "jokingly" make remarks about other guys. But I do show attraction to girls and such so maybe people do suspect.

They'd probably suspect I'm gay, but they'd be wrong.
