When a Gay Guy gets Nabbed by the Sexual Orientation Police

[Tien1985]

I think he did a pretty good job explaining what it's like to face the gender and orientation police

1. Gender, sex and sexual orientation...

3 different things that interact in complex ways

3. Gold star gay?

New one on me.

[Fearless]

6. It's a fairly common term around here

At least among crowds in their 20's and 30's. It's a joke and never taken seriously.

4. Very interesting, from a straight guy's perspective as well.

Shows that sexual orientation can be a complex, nuanced thing.

5. I have to acknowledge some of those same concerns

I'll freely acknowledge that the only women I find physically attractive have faces very similar to men I am attracted to. And a slightly feminine vibe on men is far more attractive to me than a hyper-masculine guy. But I have all kinds of fears of exploring anything with women as to what that might mean to my perception and others' perceptions of my sexuality.

Best to avoid the issue entirely, lest I be though immoral (or something).
