21 Most Ridiculous Responses to a Gay Man Coming Out

12.

Not me, but a friend back in college was talking with this guy at a party and just casually/ drunkenly said he was gay. The guy he was talking to told him he was disgusting. Allegedly he then went up to a big dude and was like “hey, that guy over there is a fag. Let’s rough him up a bit to show him they’re not welcome here” or something. Of course, big bodybuilder dude was another friend of mine who happened to be the gay friend’s boyfriend, and therefore was also of the homosexual variety. Guess who got punched?

I don’t read as gay, and I don’t have ‘the accent’, so the reaction I get the most is some version of “Wow, I never would have guessed.” or “Really? Because you don’t seem that gay.”

The way to mess with your friends when I was in high school was to steal their phone and text everyone that they’re gay. So when I came out to my friends via text, they didn’t believe me.

Friend of mine grabbed a hot dog out of the fridge, wiggled it in front of my face and said in a Borat-like voice “this is what you like!”

I’ll give a straight woman’s reaction… She’d been working with me for several months and we never actually broached the subject of relationships. She came from a sheltered, highly conservative, religious environment like I did. A coworker asked in front of her how my boyfriend was. After answering, this other girl looked shocked and asked me point blank: “What!? You have a BOYFRIEND! Does that mean you’re gay!?”… “REALLY!?! SO DOES THAT MEAN YOU, LIKE, HAVE SEX AND STUFF!?”
