If the first (gaydar is broken) then I would suggt talkg about known gay clubs/bars - not all the time, but as a ht drop. Now Sonny's bar is not The Buffalo - everybody, cludg my nyg great grandmother who is very straight and narrow and shouldn't know, knows that "those people" go to the Buffalo - Sonny's is the one that most gay men know about, but the straight folk haven't figure out s one of those kds of bars. 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.
