GAY CISG

As one of the few ways LGBT people uld meet before ter chatrooms and Grdr, gay cisg has left an lible mark on the LGBT imagatn. Ask any Boomer or Gen Xer and they'll tell you: There was somethg special about walkg through the streets or stg on a park bench, surveyg the guys around, wag for your ey to tch.

Maybe (if you have your area) Ask him if he ever watched the edy rout on that new tv channel lled Logo There is some good edy hours, and I like the click list (mic vio program) (( Yeah strange for a straight man to watch the "gay channel")). Anyway, what I am sayg is select a subject that only gays your area would be the know about - intifiers like a certa books store (no not the adult books store, the one that sells GLBT books, ffee cups and rabow flags) and brg up nversatn. If he is fely gay he will know about them and if he has a bra cell he will figure out what you are dog.

If he is straight and different about the gays, eher he will not know about the plac/thgs or he will know. If he do know and he is one of them homophobic typ he will have much to say, all negative but then will clue you . Now if the problem is that you do not know how to e out of the closet (no not that your gay, but that you are terted him) Then I suggt the straight - oops - gayly forward method, that is to jt e out and say that you are terted him.

I do not know where you live but I assume that two men dng is not assumed to be two gay men dng - not unls they are both "obvly" gay.
