No, of course not, and thier sexual orrientation is none of my business unless I would like to date them.
-
it is NUNYA - nunya business
-
How would you define "clearly gay"? I've have multiple guy friends that I thought were gay but are not.
-
I don't understand how it could be any of my business. There may also be a difference between what you see as clearly gay and the reality of the situation.
-
yes it does! just be confident with your sexual preference.
-
How does one really know unless you catch them having sex? Following stereotypes doesn't make it so - I know some really femmy guys who are straight, and some real butch gays. I don't care whether someone is out or not. They have to live their own life, and make their own decisions.
-
NO. why should it? let them do what they want, when they want. it shouldn't be any concern of yours. unless you are romantically interested.
-
No, coming out is a very hard thing. Until they are ready don't push it.
-
No. I don't tie my calm to my ability to categorize people.
-
No. I think that some people arn't ready to open up and come out to everyone they see. It is their decsion. And hey, you might never know. They might just be striaght after all.
-
No, it's none of my damned business.
-
It is actually kind of nice when someone keeps their sexuality to themselves.
-
No - its not my business. If they want to tell me, they will. I have many close friends whom I love because of who they are, not if they're gay or straight.
-
Meh, not really. They can do whatever they want.
-
Unless he's my boyfriend, I don't care. Not my business.
-
no, it makes me upset when people insist someone must be gay dispite the fact that they aren't.
-
None of my business.
-
Why would I be upset? It's none of my business... doesn't impact my life one way or the other. I don't care if he/she is/isn't and whether or not he/she does/doesn't come out of the closet! Happy Tuesday!
-
It used to, but not any more. Especially if they are very young. Coming out is a rite of passage we have to go through. Its not my place to interfere. I might feel sorry for somebody who is older and living in a heterosexual relationship, but again, that's upto them how they deal with the situation. I'm not gonna be the one to spoil everything for the people involved. I've been out for about 5 years now, and I'm not shouting it from the rooftops. Why should I need too? I'm just living my life like everyone else.
-
No. It is absolutely none of my business.
-
No. I could care less what someone's sexual orientation is. If they wont admit it, thats their right, stupid or not.
-
Nope.
-
No! Thats their own business and if they aren't ready then I just let them be. Doesn't matter to me one way or the other.
-
Not at all. Would it make you feel better if they did?
-
No, unless I am seriously into her, and want to be more than friends, and her not admitting she is gay is standing in the way of that. :)
-
No. It's none of my business. I could care less!
-
Doesnt matter to me. Something like that is up to them and none of my business, but because they are my friend I would support them in whatever their choice.
-
Only when its clay gaykin for some strange reason?
-
No. It's their business whether they want to make it known or not.
-
How does their "admitting it" even come up? In all my years of living I don't believe I've ever been asked or had to "admit" to my sexual preference.
-
no. i dont get upset by other people unless theyre malicious or mean. just curious ~ what exactly do you mean by "clearly gay"? maybe the person isnt as sure as you are that theyre gay. anyhow, i respect peoples reasons for not disclosing their sexual orientation, regardless. they may have a fear of discrimination by their employer, ridicule by their peers, shunning by friends, disowning by their family, excommunication by their church, etc. there are many, many reasons why people choose not to share this information. but i dont think anyone should feel compelled to announce their sexual orientation to others. thats their own business whether they choose to or not. its not easy being gay in a world that can sometimes be judgmental, disciminatory, and even hateful. personally, i believe it is best to not live in fear or shame. coming out of the closet is empowering and freeing. i am bisexual, and have made a conscious decision to be open about my orientation ~ but thats just my personal choice. i respect theirs as well. it is my hope that by being open about my sexual orientation, im helping make it a less "taboo" topic of discussion. being gay should not have the stigma it does in todays society ~ thats a travesty.
-
nah. it's not my business
-
No, I just feel sad for them that they don't have enough courage and confidence to just BE WHO THEY ARE. It must be difficult living a lie and pretending you're something you're not.
-
We all come out in our own sweet time. Live and let live.
-
each to their own
-
It doesn't upset me. It's their problem if they're in denial, unless, of course, they're intimately involved with me, in that case, it's also my problem in more ways than one
-
No...unless I was also gay and had a crush on them.
-
no what one person eats doesn't make me shi*
-
Do you wanna buy a t-shirt?
-
No....the world is full of prejudiced people and some communities hate gays to the levels of murder. So I don't get upset...I understand!!!!
-
1. It is none of my business, 2. It is their life not mine and 3. Everyone is free to do and say as they please to a certain extent
-
Nope. I don't care if they are or aren't.
-
Nope. That is their business and no one has the right to force someone out of the closet.
-
Not at all. I don't give other people that kind of power over my emotions.
-
Why should it? All in all, if it doesn't effect your relationship with them, let them be what they want to be. If it's a problem, move on.
-
nope
-
Yes, it makes me visibly upset. I once yelled at my gym teacher in highschool for refusing to come out of the closet. I have been told that, on occasion, my face turns red with rage when I am in the presence of in-closet homosexuals.
-
What makes me upset is if I can see someone make themselves ill over it. One of my childhood friends couldn't admit it and on top of it thought he had AIDS and made himself so ill the wound wouldn't heal on his leg. I have never felt so badly for anyone. It ruined his life.
-
Of course not. It's their business. What annoys me is when people either talk VERY openly about their sexuality period. It's their business and nobody wants to hear all the dirty details.
-
No. Why would that upset me?
-
Why should they admit it.
-
It doesn't upset me I guess. But it's obvious that they are gay. They should come out whenever they want.
-
Think i have better things to get upset about.
-
A person's sexuality is a very private matter and they may have a million reasons for not admitting it inlcuding the fact that they just don't want to discuss their private life in that way. It is no business of yours what their sexual orientation is.
-
everyone is free to be as gay-ish as they whant! i am not upset by gay guys that pretend to be hetero as long as they dont buttrape people they have all my support the only one to be upset is their wife that obviuosly has a suprise coming in the future also feel bad for the kids but we people seriously need to stop judging we need to focus on ourselfes now ask yourself aree u as gay/hetero/etc as you always thought? maybe not maybe you are gay but in the last time u had a boner everytime u seen that hot lady from work? in that case i would say go and admit to yourself u arent that gay as you thought it aint a shame as long as u are happy its ok to sleep with women and sayme goes the other way round
-
Generally speaking, I don't like to see anybody who is clearly deceiving themselves about what or who they really are, because I usually see this as a hindrance to being happy. In terms of being gay, then I accept that this can be a huge thing to deal with for some people, especially if they are brought up in a strong Christian environment (I came across somebody on AB who thinks all gays should be locked up, away from the rest of society!), and so they may not want to admit it.
