Passing

I passed for straight last Friday night! I was totally excited! I'm not the gayest of the gays, but still its nice to know that I can pass if I have to. Hmmm... actually that sounds wrong. I can pass if I WANT to. I'm over people caring one way or the other, but sometimes it's just easier if you pretend to be who other people want you to be. There are less questions to answer, less awkward stares, and less talking in general.

Case in point, I was in Chicago for a trade show last December. I was chatting was a nice but very drunk guy and he started talking about some of the women at the conference. I felt uncomfortable so I played straight. I went along with his conversation and once I felt he offended enough people, I said my goodbye and walked to the open bar for another cocktail. Sure, I could've said I'm queer and that I'd didn't want to "tap that," but it was way easier to play along.

Tee-hee! He looked so uncomfortable. I got a good giggle out of it.
