So I was just sitting around during lunch and I saw this kid who I knew from a while ago who had been put back a year from my grade. This was the first time I'd seen him in two years but I decided to say hi anyway just for the heck of it. So we were talking about whatever and he's like, "Have you joined any clubs?" and I told him I was going to the first GSA meeting later and he's just like (all wide eyed and everything) "ARE YOU GAY?!" I was just like...uh... "You don't have to be gay to join the gay STRAIGHT alliance you know."
So I didn't exactly answer his question with a yes or no I mean... I believe that I'm open about it to people but this was the first time I'd seen him in a while so I don't reallyu KNOW him and it was really really awkward. Especially since there were these random people sitting around me who had been listening and they were just all staring at me. I mean, I dunno I just don't KNOW them so it's weird. If any of my actually friends asked I'd say yeah, but this was just weird.
It was like this one time when this guy was asking me if I was okay, but I thought he was saying, "Are you gay?" The room was really loud so I couldn't hear him. After I actually figured out what he was saying I explained what I thought he had been saying and started teasing him about it. That's when this girl suddenly turns around and practically shouts, "WHAT?! YOU'RE GAY?!!" Then I just kinda ignored her and turned around to talk to that guy again. I dunno. She said it really loud and at the exact moment when the class got quiet (don't you hate it when that happens?).

I think I would do the same thing. If someone made a scene of asking me if I was gay, I would probably just not answer or maybe even lie if they kept asking.

I'm not sure how I would react if something like that happened to me. I think that's just like "a gun in the face". You never know how you're gonna react to it until it's there. And no reaction is in the wrong or right. Just a reaction.
And maybe you did the right thing by not fully answering him. Because stuff like that can ruin someone's life if the other person is a butthead. And you didn't know the guy, so, yea.
Nope
No I think you're answer probaably convinced him you're straight

I havent had someone yell and ask me "WHAT? ARE YOU GAY?" but ive had one of my friends practically yell "Well it's DIFFERENT cuz I'm not gay and you are!" at lunch...
I'm trying to be more out now because i wore a rainbow heart necklace I got at a pride fest thingie and I don't think anyone (besides the people who know) realized what it meant.
I had 2 girls say "It is sooo WEIRD that you're dress goth today but you're wearing a rainbow heart necklace! I thought goths don't wear color!" (they know I'm not full blown goth though but that day I was wearing Tripps and a button up Tripp shirt)...I just laughed and turned away.
