The only time that I can remember being a tad homophobic was when I went to Connections with a bunch of female friends, and I had to line up in a small and cramped men’s toilet with other men who are presumably gay. I got stage fright and snuck into the female toilets instead, because I was told “no one really cares”.
But I’ve digressed.
What I’m trying to say is: I’m secure enough sexually and am ok with homosexuality. I have gay and bisexual friends. I grew up around my mom’s friends in the fashion industry back in KL. Yes the common perception is true – there are a lot of homosexuals in the fashion industry because many of them are creative and artistic. Much like left-handed people.

However I do have a problem when you keep calling me gay even though I’m not. I have no idea why other than that you are doing it because *you* are insecure with your manhood. Or that you want to appear more masculine in front of your woman.
You know what? Fuck you. But not in a gay way. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

heh. just don’t bother to take what people say too harshly la. =)
Wow. I’d forgotten all about ‘Connie’s’. I spent a lot of time there in my younger days. But i’m digressing.
Ignore ‘em. As you have pointed out, it’s probably more to do with their self-esteem issues than anything to do with you.
MagC: my thoughts too – they has this thinking that it would make them feel better if they manage to insult me.
Irene: Am merely venting. Heheh. It’s like water off a duck’s back for me.
JL: yeah loh but what also irks me is that somehow calling someone “gay” has become an insult.
