Why do people want to know if a person is gay?
Some folks want to know if a person is gay for many different reasons., for some they are curious and others may consider being gay against their religious beliefs. Some people ask because they want to discriminate against gay people, or they may just be genuinely interested in you as a person.
Your sexual orientation is private and you have no obligation to disclose the information to anyone. It is your business, and yours alone. Don’t feel pressured into answering any personal questions.
In the modern world, people often like to define others are with labels like gay and trans, but in reality, this is only a small part of what makes up who you are. People are so much more than their sexuality.
How to deal with people calling you gay
It can be hurtful and frustrating when people make assumptions about your sexual orientation or use it as an insult. Here are some tips on how to deal with people calling you gay:
1) Stay calm, cool and collected: Some folks may be trying to wind you up so remain calm and reply with a clever response that won’t escalate the situation.
2) Set appropriate boundaries: . Let the person know that your sexual preferences aren’t open for discussion, and whether you are gay or not is a private matter that doesn’t concern them.
3) Educate the individual. If you are dealing with a mature person, you can let them know that it is not appropriate to use a person’s sexual orientation as an insult.
4) Remember that being gay is not an insult: a certain percentage of the population is gay and it is natural and a valid sexual orientation. Don’t feel ashamed or less than because of your sexual orientation. You are perfect just the way you are.
5) Seek support: If you are being picked on for being gay, talk to your friends and family or someone in your life who you trust.
