Inspired by dcwrestlefan's recent thread "why are you straight?", an interesting twist on the ubiquitous "why are you gay?" and "why are you x%/y%?" threads, I found myself reflecting upon this question that is posed to me all the damn time.
In general I hate repeating myself, so I try to come up with a fresh answer each and every time someone asks me this: "so.... what's up with that 1% gay in your profile???"
I actually revealed the real reason for this a long time ago, shortly after I changed my status from 100% straight to 99%. If someone is willing to do the digging they might be able to find that. I've since referenced this post or made other reasonable explanations in similar threads a few times.
But that's not as much fun as the answers I tend to give people in the chat room or who pm me with the above hopelessly unoriginal question. I get asked this probably twice a week on average so I'm sure I've forgotten many of my responses, but here are some of my favorites that I could recall:
Why am I 1% gay? (most of these are even true)
- I own a Versace shirt
- I can sing from memory more than one showtune
- I'm feeling fabulous
- I once lived within the greater metropolitan area of San Francisco
- I've been to Europe
- when I was a child I thought about being an interior decorator
- I like fucking dudes in the ass
- my favorite shirt is purple
- I own an iPod
- I'm a reasonably good dancer
- I don't watch sports
- I don't drink beer
- I throw tupperware parties
- when I was four I used to cross-dress in my big sister's clothes
- I've thought about working as a flight attendant
- I've cut my own hair
- I own every animated Disney movie on DVD, and the Wizard of Oz
- I saw Titanic in movie theaters 8 times
- the first concert I attended was Debbie Gibson
- I used to sleep in a Strawberry Shortcake nightgown
- I Tivo'd a show on Logo once
Anybody else have any humorous answers to this asinine question?
