Although we all assume that sexuality is just a small part of our entire personality, it seems that most of our friends view our coming out as an unwelcome metamorphosis. Like a huge pink neon sign screaming Homo has been branded irrevocably on our foreheads. Most true friends readily adjust to that novel fact with few assumptions - but there will always be a prejudiced few who would make a quick desertion.
Supposed friends who suddenly fall off the face of the earth.
So when I impulsively came out to Honest Harold a week back only to be answered with a cold impenetrable silence, I figured that's one friend lost.
Eh, wonder if that's Harold pinging me again?
Did him a disservice though. Shouldn't have underestimated the fellow since he came back with a curious vengeance, full of the usual twenty questions straight dudes love to find out from the homos.
Rapidly followed by the inevitable witchhunt. Playing Who's the Fag.
Harold : You really are gay?
Paul : Yes, I really am. You need pictures? Videos? Signed affidavits?
Harold : Umm. No!
Paul : I really am.
Harold : Is Tom gay?
Paul : No.
Harold : Is Dick gay?
Paul : No.
Harold : Is Harry gay?
Paul : No!
Harold : You don't know?
Paul : Do you think they hand us a list of nearest gay men when we receive the pink passport? It's not Grindr.
Harold : Uh. Maybe?
Paul : And even if there are flamers amongst us, I shouldn't be the one to tell you.
And God knows, Harold can never keep a secret.
He sounded awfuly worried though. Wonder if the straight boys really believe that homosexuality is an infectious disease.

It's a risk, but sometimes it does pay off in spades. *hugs*
You've done your part.
Imagine. Just give him a touch on the arm, grip playfully at his biceps.
Then over the course of the next few weeks casually mention how much snappier he's dressing, is he using some sort of cosmetic, his skin is definitely taking a turn for the better, hey, look, that guy's checking you out.
If he freaks out, tell him it's the homosexoil that's permeated the ground he's walking on. :P
It was kinda fun though, life :) Think I must have shocked him, william.
Janvier, unfortunately can't play those games! He's in Batam!
P
Like it or not, gay is here to stay...
