Nice write up. Couldn't agree more. I've experienced the same sort of thing, it winds me up from time to time, but usually its fairly easy to ignore the people who don't realise that there is more to someone than their sexual orientation (or race, gender, and general appearence for that matter).
So, people at a gay prom talked about being gay?! I'm guessing they were at this prom because they couldn't or didn't feel comfortable taking their same-sex dates to their school's prom (maybe because of the persistence of stereotypes and bigotry), so it would make sense for them to try to connect with other people dealing with the same shit. I dunno, maybe things are different in Canada.
It's great you are so comfortable with your ambiguous sexuality, but why be so hard on everyone? I think it's important to talk about these things reasonably without having this knee-jerk "oh no, it's the PC police" reaction. It's just as predictable as the PC police itself. If both sides would just chill out we might actually be able to have an interesting conversation.

Yeah I get people wanting to talk about it. It's just frustrating when people take one little aspect of themselves and make it their entire identity. They didn't want to talk about what it was like graduating from school, whether they were gonna work or go to University, what their plans for the summer were, what music they liked, if they played sports, were they into art etc. Whenever I tried to steer the conversation somewhere else they turned it right back.
Not to mention it was supposed to be the sort of prom where you don't have to constantly be explaining yourself. Yet I was constantly having to explain and defend myself from these supposedly open-minded people. That's the bit that got to me.
But you got a point, I was rather harsh I suppose. But I've been awake since yesterday, graveyard shifts kinda fuck with my rationality. Gonna go take a nap, probly realize how dumb I sound when I wake up and hide this whole mess.

Nice write up, and no, you don't sound dumb. I salute you, sir, for being able to recognize the hypocrisy of the so-called "open-minded" at times. No one is perfect, everyone has faults, yet some of the supposedly open-minded seem to think they are above it all. Anyway, good write up, nice that you stood your ground and didn't feel the need to conform to their idea of what your sexuality should be called.
I take this simple theory and live by it.
If I'm not about to sleep with you, you don't need to know.
If you're at a gay prom, it should be taken as a given that you at least enjoy the sexual company of the same sex and just leave that subject out of the conversation because a) its not important and b) there are better things to talk about. If these people have to be so constantly reaffirming about their sexuality then they are probably in doubt of it themselves. Not all gay people are whining twats with fewer balls than a swimming pool but a lot of them are.
Stereotypes exist for a reason. Its up to every generation in that group if they're going to reinforce the stereotype again or try and break it. I get angry every time I see videos or photos from gay pride parades as its just an image of homosexuality which I don't recognise and certainly don't see as genuine.
I could go on for pages and pages on this issue, it inspires a great deal of anger in me.

Treating every race, ethnicity, sex preference or "life choice" as a four letter word is bigotry. We're all different and that's what makes social interaction fun. Besides, all of these things that make us different are funny as hell!
I don't think you sound dumb. I think this piece is cool because you're being very upfront and offering a unique perspective. I grew up gay (I mean I'm really not into sex with girls- crazy right?) in Tennessee, so while I would love it if we could all just ignore the bullshit that comes from people it IS there, it can be a big problem, and bigots need to be called out on it.
I can also see how a bunch of gays standing around talking about being gay could be really annoying and dull. But it will probably get better as you get a little older and people get more comfortable with themselves.

"So you're straight?"
"I don't think you can say that once you've fondled a dick."
Ths made me laugh considerably.
I've had/have friends who are in same-sex relationships, I've holidayed with gay guys and so on, I've really no problem with somebody's sexuality... But BY GOD I hate and despise people who make their sexuality a major facet of their personality that is constantly in your face.
Gay, fat, minority group... The people who shout the loudest are usually the biggest goddamn hypocrites of all.

Nice write-up, and I'm also excited to see that you are confident enough in your sexuality, as uncategorized as it may be, to talk about it freely with other people. As someone who has pretty much the exact same sexuality as you descibed, its comforting to see there are others out there that go through the SAME thing trying to explain yourself :P
Good on you sir :D
Good on you sir :D
Bravo, well said. :] I agree whole heartedly. And it's nice that you are confident about your sexuality like that, as Tactix said.
