Today, the kid next to me asked me, in all seriousness, if gay people have feelings like regular people. I'm gay, and I have to sit next to this barnacle until June. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, a coworker was telling me he was lonely and needed someone special in his life. I replied, "Why don't you find yourself a girlfriend?" He looked at me weird and said, "I'm gay." FML
Today, I learned that the girl I love thinks I'm gay. To be honest, I'm having doubts too. FML
Today, after three weeks of putting it off, I decided to ask out the girl I've had a major crush on since third grade. When I told her, she smiled, but then quickly said, "But aren't you gay?" FML
Today, I found out that my entire school differentiates me from another girl in my grade with the same name by saying, "No, she's the lesbian one." I'm straight. FML
Today, my sister gently asked me if I was gay. Turns out I've been without a boyfriend for so long that the whole family believes I secretly have a girlfriend. FML
Today, I talked to a girl I like. I tried to make her jealous by telling her I had a "thing" going with another girl. She looked deeply into my eyes and said, "Wait, aren't you gay?" FML
Today, my daughter was telling everyone at her elementry school about my gay partner. Yes, I have a gay partner. He is my work partner and he happens to be gay. FML
Today, I found out the reason my crush has been talking so openly to me. Not because she likes me back, but because she thinks I'm gay. FML
Today, I learned why a guy at work hates me when he drunkenly confessed it at a work retreat. Apparently I look like a gay teenager he had a horrible awkward one-night stand with, and every time he sees me he gets mad at himself. I could have gone my whole life without knowing that. FML
Today, while I was babysitting my nephews, the 7 year old boy walked up to me and asked if I was a lesbian. I laughed it off. An argument ensued about my sexuality for a good two hours. I lost. FML

Okay, I can see how some people can not understand if its a choice or not (I've been told by 2 gay friends that they chose to be gay and others have said it wasn't their choice...) Idc either way I accept them. This guy is just an ignorant ass. Sorry you had to deal with such stupidity, OP.

I'm unsure how old this person is, which would change the nature of my response. If this person is still in their teens/still living at home, they probably have a very "sheltered," prejudiced upbringing that is contributing to their ignorance. Without getting too preachy and weird, you can show them just how ridiculous those beliefs are and help them get a better sense of what people who are different from them are really like. I mean, you don't need to go all Mister Rogers on them, just be, you know, normal and hopefully they'll get the idea.

So many people are ignorant because of their surroundings. If he's asking that it's that he was taught like this. Either ignore it and further his ignorance... Or do something about ut

Tell him you think he's cute. That should be fun for him for the remainder of your time together. ;)

as a lesbian, I can't tell you how much people ask me how I have sex or if my life is any different than that of a straight woman. it used to really hurt my feelings, but now I laugh it off. some people were genuinely raised wrong. you're perfectly normal OP, don't worry :)

its really rude for people to ask about your sex life no matter what your orientation is

And in fairness, you life is different that straight people. Gay culture is different from hetero culture. There are things that straight people take for granted that you and other gay have to deal with. Whether it's peoples attitudes or assumptions, etc. There is a difference.

There's a difference between being raised wrong and never having been exposed. You can't go around telling everyone they've been raised wrong just because they don't know how lesbians have sex. That's not a normal thing to talk to children about.

when you reach the age to actually consider these things though you kinda put two and two together. its not that much of a stretch. still it is rude to ask a stranger how they go about sex. either your gay and you will find out first hand or you are straight and you dont really need to know.

Hey OP, on the bright side you can explain him, he's a kid after all. Don't be disappointed we all have some kind of prejudices.
