I'm confused...what makes you gay?
So far a few friends of mine have this list:

soy (read that today)
showtunes
pink
purple teletubbie
Brokeback Mountain
we're debating if Starsky & Hutch will make you gay
swatches
quiche


I gotta know this stuff. Hubby does soy sometimes, likes the musical 'Chicago', I've got pink pillows on the couch, we both like Brokeback Mountain, I watch Starsky and Hutch (he'll watch, too) and once every six months or so we have quiche when we're in the mood.

By the RW christian nutjobs standards my hubby should already be shacking up with his best friend. Maybe the Nascar and John Wayne movies cancels all that other out.

Another thing is...didn't God create soy? If God didn't want gay people around...just sayin'.

I'm so confused now. :rofl:

1. Evidence suggests being a RW Christian makes you gay
or at least bi-curious...

11. naw, we were talking about the original series...
They were called the 'prime time homos' in the 70's.

a couple of girlfriends were over earlier tonight and we were laughing it up over the soy bit. Then we started listing all those things the RW nutjobs list as making someone gay. They had a lot more, but the alcohol is interfering with my brain function right now.

13. Oooooo Noooooo
I just ate an overly large and tasty slice of quiche!! No wonder I found my eyes settled lovingly on our black cat (he's the only other male in this 8 person-pet household). Eewwww. Need to find a place to spit up this eggy gay pie, gotta go, GOTTA GO RIGHT NOW!!
:puke:

Ah, um. That's better...

Wait, it's been a few decades, but when I was a kid playing with my GI Joe doll I liked watching the John Wayne movie, The Green Berets. Must repeat to myself slowly, I'm gonna be OK, I'm gonna be OK, I'm gonna be OK...

14. Charlton Heston in Ben Hur
You don't have to be sexually attracted to men to see that ol' Chuck sure was one tasty slice of beefcake in a loincloth. Elvis, too. Lots of straight guys would do the young Elvis, I mean, c'mon, look at him.

It's all about the recruiting incentives, I figure. I mean, I'm a straight guy, average looking, not rich. If I was to switch teams, who would I be shagging? Other average-looking guys with no money. Who needs it? If we ever want to get this gay thing off the ground, fellas, some of the hot, rich gay guys are just going to have to put out for straight schlubs.

17. pretty much
the fact that i like to see a hairy, hot man in bed next to me when I wake up every morning. Everytime I try to fight it I fail. Seeing him next to me makes my heart flutter (among other things)

19. Soy makes you gay?
Oh dear. We're both eating it since my husband has high cholesterol. Between that and our love of showtunes it seems we'll both be in same-gender relationships before the year is out.

What's the word on egg substitutes and bran?

33. Actually, men do need to take it easy on the soy.
Too much of it really can mess up their hormonal balance and turn them into girly men. Dear husband had a little run in with that and his unexplainable symptoms disappeared when he cut back just a bit on the soy.

34. Seriously?
What's too much? He has some every day for a snack, but main meals are veggies, fish, and fiber. Mostly we're just wiping out the trans fats wherever we can. Thanks for the heads up!

40. Now
he stays under 1 cup of soy protein a week plus 1/2 cup of soy milk every other day. More than that and he starts getting those unexplainable symptoms again.

Every body is unique though.

20. I thought they were all recruited?
You know, like a Navy recruiter recruits young men for the service? :shrug: That's what I've always heard anyway, that gay men recruit young boys into the "lifestyle". I know a few gay men but I've never asked them what "turned" them gay. I'll get on the phone, get some answers and get back to you on this, OK? ;)

22. Seeing two gay married guys almost made me gay
My girlfriend and I were at a a committed gay couple's house for dinner. All I could think was how cool it would be to be married to a guy. If it wasn't for that damn gay marriage, I could be secure in my hetero lifestyle. Now I'm worried I might choose to be gay like all the other gay people did.

24. Really? It just makes me want to divorce
My sister-in-law married her girlfriend, and ever since, I've just thought my marriage was ruined. It's just a hollow sham if same-sex couples can do it. Them and their lifetime commitment of love ::shudder:: it's just kinda icky, you know?

26. gay central committee does not comment on
our successes of either turning the general population gay or on what we control.

however -- i see a re-education camp in your future with multiple viewings of starky and hutch on the menu.

please pack a tasteful duffle bag for imminent departure.

27. No one knows for sure.
I know you're probably not shopping for a serious answer,
but I guess I'm just an unrepentent pedant. ;)

No one knows for sure (and anyone who claims to know
for sure islying to you).

Could be any combination of:

o Nature (your genetics)

o Nurture (your general family life growing up)

o Reaction to abuse

o Environmental estrogens, either in utero or
during early development (so don't dismiss "soy"
out of hand)

o Environmental androgens...

o A certain amount of personal preference

Research continues, but don't be surprised if the
final answer is: "All of the above, in varying mixes".

31. breastfeeding!
When my daughter was born my mom told me that if I breastfed her, she'd be a lesbian.

Then she told my sister-in-law that if she breastfed my nephew, he'd be gay.

I'm not sure of the logic behind that.

35. Letting boys play with Barbies
Edited on Thu Dec-14-06 01:33 AM by Horse with no Name
Funny story.
My brother is a Nascar he-man.
My sis-in-law is a school teacher.
Their son LOVED Scooby Doo.
His favorite character was Velma.
His mom found him a Velma doll.
My brother almost blew a gasket because his SON was playing with a doll.
However...my SIL put her foot down and was not going to take it away.
Soooo....my brother started calling it a Velma action figure.
