I’m never really one to make a big deal about sexuality… I mean, supposedly I have license to splash it around and make sure that the whole world knows; people actually expect you to tell them, and some feel offended when you don’t.
A friend of mine posted a link to this video, and I have to say, I think that it’s a good’un. Whilst I’m always happy and open to chat about topics such as sexuality, I do sometimes wish that it would be in an appropriate environment, and not when I’m out drinking and random people start questioning the whole thing…
The video clip does highlight, quite nicely and with a fab humour to it I thought, how invasive some of the drunken questions can be, and how silly one or two of them come across.
Whilst I don’t want the whole ‘gay’ thing to become taboo and not be openly discussed (in fact, I’d like the opposite!), I do think that it would be better if such dialogues were held openly/properly when people are in a better mind frame to construct worthwhile and eloquently phrased questions and not just quietly babbling over six or seven pints in the evening and when one of you is no doubt tired, and one or both of you won’t remember a word of it in the morning.
I hasten to add that this post is not in response to any specific conversations that I have had in the past, more my thoughts on the video that I’ve just posted.
Me being me, I adore any interest that people show in me and my life as it’s really flattering that people want to try and understand me and to know more about me. At the same time though, my sexuality does not define me – though it’s definitely a quirk, along with my fascination of llamas, my ability to roll my tongue and my strange thing of never drinking out of a mug!
