Tag Archives: I have so many lgbt friends who just. count me as lgbt without a second thought

paraphrased

me: [overhearing friend listing names/identities on skype chat in the other room, and then raising my voice to comment from behind a wall] Why is my name being mentioned?

her: [also raising her voice to reply through the wall] I was saying that you’re ace, and we’re playing gay bingo, so that’s worth a certain amount of points.

me: I mean, I, I guess that’s worth being outed for, but — [loud sputtering/incoherent reaction]

her: I can’t hear what’s happening, but I think I just started an argument.

me: No, no, I’m trying to warn you.

her: About what?

me: About the danger.

her: The danger?

me: Of saying that me being ace has any gay points.  You’ll be excommunicated.

her: Excommunicated from what?  Being gay?

me: Yes.
