My Friend Justin on Living with a Gay Man


“...I may have to come sleep on your couch sometimes.”

“Why? You’re afraid he’s going to hit on you?”

“Well, yea.”

“Justin, you have a girlfriend.”

“I know. It’s just…”

“I’m not afraid my lesbian friends are going to hit on me.”

“Maybe it’s a guy thing.”

“Maybe…”

Maybe it’s not. My guy friends who grew up with gay friends embrace their sexuality, joke about it the way bros joke about pounding a beer. They pound beer together.

So no, it is not a guy thing. Please stop using your gender to excuse ignorance. Thanks.
