At work we have a gay lunch group that gets together every other week to “gay out”. The membership has changed over time but it is a nice change of pace from discussing office politics. Joe, who works with lunch group member Jason, has been trying to join our group for a while. We’ve been reluctant to invite him as HE’S STRAIGHT.
To be fair Joe is only technically straight. Most of his friends are gay and he’s been accused by multiple girlfriends of playing for our team. I’m not ready to claim he’s gay yet; I think of him as more of a “gay groupie”, without the sex.
Joe hit me up on Facebook:
11:37am Joe
so, i was talking to Jason
11:37am Nicolas
I don’t like where this is going 🙂
11:38am Joe
about your lunch days
apparently it’s possible to be named an honorary gay for a day?
11:40am Nicolas
You realize that so many gays actually want to be straight… David Sedaris describes us as a “secret society based on self loathing.” To want to be part of the group makes us sound… popular or something.
11:40am Joe
lol
does that take away your street cred?
dude, im actually a bit jealous
i mean, you have your own website for hookups in 10 minutes or less
and you dont have to deal with girls…
ugh
11:41am Nicolas
Yes, I suppose we do have the fast food version of sex.
11:41am Joe
exactly
its filling and empty at the same time
us straight men are jealous
11:42am Nicolas
ROFL
I’ve just never heard it put that way.
11:42am Joe
lol
AND you can’t get married, I mean, besides the obvious draw backs, it’s a perfect system you guys have…
11:43am Nicolas
Okay, sure, I will grant you honorary gayness.
11:43am Joe
YES
11:44am Nicolas
Well, I’m posting this conversation.
11:44am Joe
haha ok
11:44am Nicolas
That alone is worth it.
11:44am Joe
sweet
now im famous in the gay community
I struggled for a long time with being gay, mostly because I blamed myself for something I really had no choice in. But as it turns out I was just looking at things all wrong; being gay is way easier than being straight.
Suck it, High School!
