...I uh apologize. Ask if he has a boyfriend. If so, ask how long they been together. If not, he'll find someone. Maybe ask him if he knows my friend so and so whose single?

Sorry...cis, straight female here. Never once giggled or snickered because I found out a guy was gay. I've been all to happy to hear about who they are dating, checking out on tinder, listening to the ups and downs of their relationships, etc... Gone dancing...road tripped..dinner..played video games...ate way too many donuts...but never laughed or snickered because they were gay.

I've never insisted anyone like vagina.

I've actually seen some women call gay men misogynist and sexist for not wanting to date or have sex with women. Go figure.

Is that what the OP is getting at here? That women are entitled to sex with any man regardless of that man's sexual orientation?

I've actually been surprised by the directness of some women when I've missed what should have been obvious! Although I'm sometimes oblivious, I'm always polite and a gentleman.

Proceeding as if I read between the lines to sorta see your intended question, I'll tell you that in my wicked youth. it actually did happen to me. And, yes, I did laugh -- as in belly laugh with tears -- and so did he... great smile on that man, BTW. We had a few drinks, talked for hours, walked back to campus and remained good friends for several years. I'd probably react with somewhat more circumspection if it was my son, but that wouldn't change my love or concern for his wellbeing and happiness.

Seriously, why did you choose to focus on vaginas? Women are more than just a set of genitals, just as LGBT folks are more than sex objects, so try to respect the person as a unique individual, as a genuine human being, instead of a collection of unworthy anatomical parts.
