I am rolling. Honey got up for a minute and read my latest post, an update to “Butchup, Butter Cup” . (I run that woman ragged on weekends.) She said “I didn’t hear that whole converstaion. It was very loud , but I did hear the ‘Are you gay?’ part. That’s nothing, you should hear what this woman at work said to me.”
Let me say that honey works in a somewhat morally-bust kind of industry. She works with some interesting people, to say the least. There are some who are highly intellegent people who do their jobs very well, They do this kind of work because of the novelty and low stress. If you follow the rules and enjoy meeting interesting people its a cakewalk. But if crazy people make you uneasy, are thin-skinned, or if you’re not detail oriented , this is not the industry for you. Most long term employees get sucked in by the money, which is good. This is where honey fits into this motley crew.
Honey continues ” Do you know so and so ? The not-so-pretty girl with the curly hair? The one who dated or was married to that really handsome guy?” I’m like “yeah, I didn’t like her .She was kind of a twit”.
This is what Honey said happened.
Twit : I heard something about you.
Honey: yeah
Tw : I heard that you were gay.
H: yeah?
Tw: Are you?
H: Am I what?
Tw: Are you…are you gay?
H: Yes
Tw: Well you dont look………….uhh…………
H: What, like a pervert?
Tw: Uh no, like a lesbian? I wasn’t trying to offend.
H : ok.
Tw: no really, I didn’t mean anything by it.
H: It’s ok, but it’s nothing to be ashamed of . No biggy.
Tw: ok
Tw: I won’t tell anyone.
H: No really it’s no big deal. You can call your aunt Tula in Oklahoma and tell her. It’s not a secret.
Tw: Yeah….well……ok………well
H (in her head) : F* me
Tw: well………………….
Tw: Do you think I’m pretty?
Am I the only one who finds this unbelievably funny? I thought my first “weird” experience was bad. I just can’t stop giggling about it.
Now it’s your turn! Tell me about your weirdest, fuuniest “Coming out” stories. Hell I am celebrating my 10th big fat queer anniversary this June and I am still coming out to people. There’s got to be some other funny stories out their. Share them with your sisters and brothers in Bloggyworld, a.k.a Blogworld, and make someone smile. Post them here if you would like.
Have a good one, everybody.

I was in a tv ad during the No on 36 campaign. It was on a lot. At a volunteer gathering for door to door training, a woman with no self-editing skills said to me WAY TOO LOUD and multiple times, “Are you REALLY a lesbian? No. Really?” over and over and over, scratching her head. Many people in the ads were actors, I wasn’t. And she just couldn’t believe I was a real lesbian. It was very weird, assuring her, while others looked on, yes, I really was a lesbian. Sigh.

lol…thanks for that laugh. as a really “latebloomer” (out recently, and am in my early fourties), i’m having trouble convincing some of my birth family that i really am a lesbian. after my last relationship ended, my sister kept asking, “so, does that mean you’re going back to men now?”…

That has come up in my family, too. I told them as soon as Brad Pitt grew boobs and showed up on my doorstep, I would consider it.
