I am gay, does it matter?
If your entire life revolves around that, then it matters because most of us in the real world don't give an intercourse about such matters. If you are a Man that happens to be homosexual but lives a well rounded life otherwise, fine.
The friends that I have had that are homosexual do not ever "hit" on me and they tell their gay friends not to do so either. When I meet someone the first thing I say to them is not, "I'm HETEROSEXUAL!" Years ago I went to a friends home and there was another guy there and my friend introduced me to him and he said to me "...this is my new boyfriend. And (fill in name I cannot recall LOL!) do not hit on Scott because he is not gay and I would appreciate it if you respect both him and myself." I had no idea of his sexuality but it is his home and this was a more than reasonable way of letting me know. A good man.
My private life does not need to be broadcast to the world. We have one young man at work that walks around with his "Pride" hat or shirt on and he gets miffed because few people want to talk to him because he's is all about his "pride". Fuck it. I don't wear a "Straight" shirt and I NEVER wear hats. Not even a MAGA hat and I am one Conservative Man.
I've had a few lesbians announce to me their choice is women. As a reply/test I have told each of them that I like to eat boogers and so they had better respect that even if I want to be nosy around them. Of course I don't eat snot, but neither do I NEEEEEED to know about their private choices in life. They got the point.
