When new friends or new people in general assume you are straight, do you just go with it or do you tell them/correct them? Let's say someone who is your friend and you're acquainted with but you are not super close with and don't see that often?

Asking for a friend

never experienced it but I say it just depends on the person. Try to get a read on them and think about how they'll react. If they seem chill you can tell them upfront but if you're iffy you can just save it for later.

I correct them then and there. It's such a great opportunity to come out to them in a blasé/matter-of-fact way.

See this girl I met told us how a guy came out to her and she was happy for him, so I could've told her but it would've come off as attention seeking, I don't know. Then when I told her I was the only guy who took French literature classes she was like 'you're so lucky to be with all the girls'

Well if you tell them to buy Prism on iTunes, its basically coming out anyway and you get to promote your fave. win-win

When you are out with friends that are girls and the server hands you the bill

I'm not paying for all the ****s lol

I go with it or joke around with it. There's nothing more awkward than saying "No I am ___"

Only oblivious old people think im straight

I tell them ofc

I keep quiet, but inside I'm like this:

I'm bisexual so they're half right. If I don't have a girlfriend, then I don't feel the need to let them know that I also like the same sex. Ain't none of their business

They are partially right

Depends on who I'm talking to. If it's some random dude in one of my classes I'm playing along. I hate having those awkward moments where they just stop talking because they don't have any idea what to say.

Otherwise I come out in a witty manner.

I tell them

I've even brought it up myself sometimes. I find it to be a great way to know if the person you're talking to is a cool guy/girl or a homophobe. The sooner you know, the better.

I just go along with it, lol. Too awkward and time consuming to come out to EVERYONE.

None of their business anyway.

I once had a (relative) stranger ask me upfront tho. I was like."....heh uh....... Yeah... I'm gay..."

Lmfao, I'm pretty gay, or at least I think so. So I'm usually pretty confused when people ask about me having a girlfriend.
Like honey! I typically just go along with it though. Depending on who it is

I just go with it
I'm what the gay community calls "str8 acting" but its not acting.

Just go with it, usually there comes a natural point in the conversation where I can put it out there, like when discussing hot celebrities or relationships or whatever. But I don't go out of my way to clarify it, that's awkward. If it doesn't come up it's not a problem. The longer you're out of the closet the less you think about who knows and who doesn't and whether it matters.

I invite them to my drag show
