well, in murica, this is joke, mate

I hate that word " Murica"

No one gives a shit, about what you like

That's a super common joke to make though. And my sister makes bi jokes about all the time but my dad (who doesn't know) assumes she's being annoying. We also make the same jokes about my brother (with his girlfriend).

literally everyone in my family and circle have made some sort of gay joke about me, the best way to curve a joke is to jokingly go along with it. usually I Just wink at them though. (then again I do go both sides so it doesn't effect me anyways)

Honestly, I'd reply with " We all know that " and then wink. My family makes gay jokes all of the time, and it's easy to go along with.

#4 True but OP could have played it off like they were poking fun at eachother.

Could have just been an accident. OP might have come out to just her brother or something years ago and it slipped

I agree with 22. This is a very common joke and op could've just played it off as if the brother was just joking around. There's also a possibility your brother meant it as a joke forgetting that you're gay and the implications/repercussions of saying it. If he said it on purpose to be mean, than that's a different story and you should talk to him about it, but I imagine he was joking around and did it by accident.

The LGBT community is a corrupt bunch of fuckmunchs.

That one chick, what freaky is saying is that's just something some brothers say. Regardless of whether the OP is gay or not. Brothers will call each other names, gay being one of them. Now you can argue that societally we should move past that, but we haven't, and if the OP would've joked back or laughed it off it wouldn't be outing him.

For me, at least, it wasn't that easy when I wasn't out. My brother would make jokes like that, and it would make me freeze like a deer in headlights. My body got cold and my breathing stopped. People typically aren't out because of fear, coming close to that can make people freeze up in fear and stop them from brushing it off smoothly to avoid suspicion.

I love it how people say "non-LGBT" like straight people are the ones that aren't normal.

They definitely aren't.

But it's a common joke to say to straight people as well. He could have just went along with it like it was purely a joke.

Please tell me this was not your attempt at a car pun. please :)

It was. I'm sorry.

You have to be car(e)ful around here. These people dont understand humour.

#42 had an even worse pun... so dont feel bad
