[Maryjane]

Both my boys wait tables for a living. Sometimes the younger one gets hit on by young gay men. He's a bit unsure how to handle the situation. "Mom, What is it about me that makes them think I'm gay?"

Well, you are nice looking and you have a great personality. Can you blame them? How do they know you aren't interested unless they flirt? Just be yourself and politely decline the offer if the advances aren't wanted. Would it be any different if it was anyone else flirting with you and you weren't interested?

My other son takes it all in stride. He's the one that's always had the gifted sense of social skills. He's an equal opportunity employer when it comes to an ego boost. And if kidding around will increase his tips, he's all over it.
Just as I suspected. It's human nature, not some diabolical plan to destroy all of humanity.:)

Tex,
What's sad about this thread is yout transparent thinking. I make the suggestion that being gay is a choice in a sarcastic manner and you start a thread on it. You have yet to come up with a sensible argument why gays should not be allowed to marry.

I suspect you had a sexual encounter in your youth and you are still feeling "icky" about it. Am I correct in my thinking?

My dad confided that the reason he could not watch the movie Broke Back Mountain was because of an encounter in his past. He too is prejudiced against homosexuals. I had to explain that what happened to him was not a homosexual encounter. What happened was the act of a pedophile. An 18 year old man trying to take advantage of an 11 year old boy and he should not confuse the two.

Even if you did have a gay experience, so what? No one is judging you. Least of all us.
