How Did I NOT know there was a Manual?

[Stephen]

Just came across a listing for the book The Homo Handbook by Judy Carter

All these years... First I had to invent masturbation (only to find that someone else had beaten me to it)

Then the whole finding out I'm NOT the only gay guy in the world...

And now this! Honestly guys!

Is there anything ELSE you're not telling me?

Love the pun ;-)

There are many secrets to be shared, many which are only in the oral tradition.

Lol!

SOMEONE NEEDS A HANDBOOK TO BE A HOMO? tHATS THE FIRST SIGN YOU'RE IN TROUBLE

[Stephen]

Tell it to the Boys Scouts! No, wait...

[Katie]

A definite buy. I've always wondered how to be the best gay I can be...

No. Nothing. We swear.

Well... It's time for another confession. I'm the gay guy that never liked opera. Yep. You'd heard rumors that there was one out there. Well, it was me. Though I tried band in middle school I was never a great music lover. I did like some songs but mostly for the lyrics.

And in band they had me in the trombone section so, confined to the Bass clef, I was always a bit confused when they explained that Every Good Boy Does Fine (It was years before I found out that Every Gay Boy Digs Fellatio)

I'm afraid that my aural fixation was more of an oral fixation. I dropped out of band long before I heard about Band Fags! and though the Gay gene and the Opera gene may be closely linked I'm living proof that they're not the same gene.

I have managed to expand my limits (musical and otherwise) and now enjoy some Jazz and most Rock and have pretty far reaching musical tastes. I've enjoyed most Gilbert & Sullivan, I've even grown to like watching Ballet, but Opera still eludes me.

But I do like this clip...

I'm with you Stephen. I dislike Opera intensely, except for a few selected arias done as selections on a CD. For the most part I don't really like vocal music, except for the stuff I grew up with. That's primarily reminiscence. FWIW, I do not like Gilbert & Sullivan at all nor many modern (50's+) musicals.

I do like Ballet—Men in Tights—and a lot of ballet music, esp classical ballet. And I like plays.

I played a clarinet in HS band. Talk about oral fixation with a phallic symbol :-)

I do like to flirt though, esp with guys who are probably straight or my gaydar is uncertain.

Overheard at the bar...

He's got a body like a god.

Unfortunately it's Ganesh. (The elephant headed Hindu diety)

Who knew? We should actually be calling ourselves Homogenic.

[Stephen]

You Know You're Gay When . . Anyone ever heard of this? It seems like its in keeping with the general theme of this thread but there are no textual reviews that I can find.

[Katherine]

You should have been issued this book when you got recruited. :)

[Mike]

I would have bought it, but they took away my gay card when I admitted to liking football.

[Alec]

"You don't act gay" and "Oh you're one of those gays" are my favorite phrases when people figure it out. Actually playing football and being good at it is one reason those get said.

I was so naive, I had to be shown how to masturbate by my best friend, "Hey, Bill, I wanna show you something really fun!" And the 1st time I sucked, I thought you were supposed to suck, so I sucked and sucked and sucked and all that happened was, "Stop! That hurts." :blush:

[Matt]

Wow, I didn't know how little I knew. Masturbation involves sucking? Like your own, or what?

Yeh like this:

[Amber]

Um, you know Santa doesn't exist, right? Otherwise you didn't hear it from me.

Sean, that sounds like a gravy Army quote.

The Homo Handbook and You Know You're Gay When… I don't think I fit the gay stereotypes. I'm a slob. I hate musicals and opera. I have no decorating skills. My wardrobe consists of jeans, t-shirts and a baseball cap with no designer labels. I hate bars and clubs. I'm 100 percent monogamous and believe in marriage (legal in my state.) I love sports. I work out daily at a straight gym. I'm masculine in every way…but then again I love cock and ass so at least there are two gay stereotypes that fit me. I'm pretty sure I don't need these books.

Hey Lucas—we sound like a perfect fit.
