The Straight Sign
07.21.04 (12:19 pm)   [edit]
I came upon a this article about men offering some sort of 'secret straight sign' to another man to let him know he's straight. Never really thought that those sort of things really existed.

It reminded me of an experience I had many years ago. And revealed how f'ing naive I can be sometimes.

The radio station threw a party for me to get to know everyone. It was a pretty wild event. They were rubbing pretzel sticks together to get the salt off them to do tequila shots. A guy called "The House Fairy" took me under his "wing" to introduce me to people, etc. He was sweet (in more ways than one). From appearances, I was A LOT more 'clean cut' than everyone else.

The booze was gone, the party was moving on. I was standing by "The House Fairy" and a couple of other people. One woman said that they were going to another club and asked if I'd like to come. I was having fun, so I figured why not... "The House Fairy" said "Don't worry, I'll take care of you." (I'm thinking "huh?")

So I follow them to the club. We go inside. C. asks me if I'd like to dance. I say I'm going to grab a drink - maybe later...

I am at the bar. I order a drink. I see 2 ladies sitting next to me. They are kissing. (First time I'd seen that). Then I kinda looked around. The club was 90% female. LOTS of plaid.

It hit me. C. thought I was lesbian and that's why "The House Fairy" said he'd protect me. He came up to me about then and said that when I was referring to "my girlfriend Julie" that C. thought I was referring to MY GIRLFRIEND.

I laughed. C. laughed. Had fun the rest of the evening. (or was it morning).

So, I tell my mother about the experience. She laughs and says...

"Even I know that's a lesbian club!"

I felt like such a dork.


Here's the link to the inspirational article

LMAO!
Yes, this is entirely true! I used to do this on a regular basis in order to be quite clear to new people that I am NOT gay.

If you are well groomed and well spoken and DO NOT do this people sometimes get the wrong idea.

It happens more often than one would think :)

Do you use the standard "man, she is hot?" or perhaps "I'd like to hit that!"?

Depends on the level of homophobia of the listener:

"Man, shes hot!" is generally good enough but in extreme situations you might have to resort to
"Mmmm MMMM Mmmm, I sure would like to tap that ass!"

You have to be flexible to be effective :)

wow! gay bars are the best, although my experience was in a mostly male gay bar, there were plenty of lesbians to go around, it's amazing how hospitable they are. in my experience, as soon as they figured out i was straight,the gay guys were all trying to take care of me.... awesome place to party!

I've been to a few lesbian clubs and I've always left smiling. The music is always good and nobody grabs your ass on the dance floor!

I've been to oodles of gay bars - in fact, the city of Atlanta is trying to shut down the most popular one...

The lesbian place was more low-key - kind of like a really bad country-western bar. I couldn't tell you what music was played though -I think I had that impression b/c of all the plaid flannel shirts... LOL

I never knew I needed such things. Perhaps I'm just not attractive to my own sex. I've certainly never been into a gay or lesbian bar. I'm sure I would have picked up on that, although I do tend to be fairly oblivious to these things. My buddies wandered into this place in Palm Springs once called the Tool Shed ...

Yeah, that doesn't leave a whole lot to be misinterpreted. Still not as bad as the Tool Shed. They were in there for a while too. The bar actually posted a pic on their website of the look on their faces when 4 Marines discovered they were in a gay bar. It went around on the base email. Way too funny. They were mortified.

Were you one of them, considering your own naivete?
