    Not exactly funny, but an strange response I had.
    My friend, V and I were going out to a gay bar for our gay friend's birthday. It was V's first time in a gay bar and while we were waiting for the bus she said

    V: I'm going to try get a girl to kiss you
    Me: I'm in a relationship.
    V: He won't mind, I'm still gonna try
    Me: Yeah, but its not gonna have the effect you're going for 'cause I'm bi
    V: Really? Oh. Right.
    ME: Surprised?
    V : No. I don't get why you'd be surprised by someone's sexuality. Why would you? It just is.

    She then went of a rant about how it shouldn't be surprising.

    It was the oddest reaction I've had.

    I told a friend who didn't know yet, and it went something like this:

    Me: So, I think it's safe to assume that you've guessed I'm gay. Everyone who doesn't know seems to think so.
    Her: Oh honey, I've known since I met you. I knew [friend] is gay, and I knew you were gay

    I've had 4 people say to me "now I can punch you without feeling bad" which sounds shitty and kind of enforces sexism but it makes me laugh and they're accepting my gender and its kind of validating so I'll take it.

    Well I was in eighth grade and told my friend at the moment I had two crushes and this is how it went down.

    Me: I have two crushes
    Friend: Well the first one is (name) is the second one (name?)
    It went on with her asking until she went through all the boys my age and a little older. Another friend came over

    Friend 2: Is it a girl?

    I smiled in reply to that

    Friend: Is it (name of second crush)?
    Me: Yep I'm Bi
    Friend: Huh? What's that mean
    Friend 2: IT MEANS SHE LIKES PENIS AND VAGINA YOU IDIOT!

    Ahhhh friends

    No, it just means you prefer kielbasa over sliced ham.

    The funniest ever? A friend and I were sitting in our school's music wing. I had my computer and was video chatting with a friend, who said I looked very gay since she could see almost my entire outfit. When I was done with the call, my first friend came up to me with another friend who already knew I was into girls and she asked me how gay I was. After that, they attempted to find out who my crush was, which happened to be on two people. It was pretty funny, because she was really excited about it, though I found it a bit embarrassing.

    A few days ago I reunited with a friend that I haven't seen since I started transitioning.
    Him, taking in the short hair, flat chest and male attire: "Wow, um. That's a change. So you're lesbian?"
    Me: "Nah, man, transgender."
    Him: "Dude! High five! Though that does explain why your mum went from mildly abusive to full on heteronormative crusader during senior year."

    Later.
    Him: "You know, we probably totally look like a gay couple."
    Me: "... Does that bother you?"
    Him: "Me? Not at all. That old couple over there's been giving us the stink eye the whole night though."
    Me: "Want to scandalize a few patrons?"

    The short of it, turns out I made him question his sexual orientation all throughout high-school because he was attracted to me ostensibly as a 'girl' and now we're sort of dating. And we made an elderly couple storm out of a restaurant XD

    Dude. I love you both for this. Nothing better than making old people mad. I'm not out to anyone at home, so when I took my little brother to the movies last week and went to use the girls bathroom I got a death glare from like 10 old ladies.

    Two years ago, while I was helping my step-mom pack stuffs from the house I've lived in between 2005 and 2008, my then-4yo brother saw old pictures of me kissing an ex-girlfriend while browsing through my old school stuffs.
    In a very serious tone, he told me: "I don't like it, Mimi! Her earrings are ugly."
    ... Can't argue with that, bro. :grin:

    I would take bets on one person I know, but there is nobody willing to bet he isn't gay.

    I came out to a friend and she said, "You're not going to be one of those people who have a lot of cats are you?"

    I don't remember if I posted this here, but just in case I didn't...

    I worked UPS for the Christmas season, and was assigned to a guy I've known since he was a teen. He is a tall, fit red-head. While we were working, he would keep trying to set me up with the women customers. I eventually became so tired of telling him to stop it that I ended up telling him to cut it out because I am gay. Then, I told him that I prefer "tall, fit red-heads (present company excluded)". That was the first time I experienced him being speechless. LOL

    Of course he is a true jackass, so he decided to do the deliveries to schools, telling people that I am not allowed in schools. :frowning2:

    When I came out to my mother she said, "Honey if you would have told me a few months ago, I'm not sure what I would have thought. But one night I was praying and God just told me, Barbara, you are just being silly." My mom was my biggest fan and I miss her dearly.(!)(!)(!)
