I guess I should come out of the closet - I Am Gay
Edited on Mon May-17-04 03:40 PM by matcom
its official.

i am a homosexual man.

yesterday i was straight but for the last 16 hours, i have been turning rapidly gay.

i started feeling a little woozy at about 3 am this morning. even had to get up and pee. when i awoke at 5 am, i was 'tingly' all over. couldn't figure it out but hopped in the shower anyway and got ready for work. things were going fine until about 10 am when a technical sales rep walked in my office and i shook his hand. DAMN that was one fine handshake! i shrugged it off though.

well, lunch came and went and i started feeling a little bored with my life. i THOUGHT i was a happily married man but doubts were starting to creep in. imagine that. yesterday i was quite content but now, with the prospect of my participation in an 'alternative lifestyle', well i think that has all changed.

Gay Marriage here in Massachusetts has changed my life! I called the wife at work and told her to not bother coming home. Its over. Her kid is graduating high school and we were to leave in the morning for Phoenix but not only am I not going, i ripped up the plane tickes and canceled all the credit cards. SHE can't go either! i'm going to make her sleep in a cardboard box tonight just because gay marriage has so overtaken me and now i hate all girls.

i'll keep my dog though. he isn't the smartest animal i have ever owned but he is loyal. in fact........um.......DAMN....uh.....i'm going to inquire if i can marry HIM! he is REALLY cute after all!

thank you gay marriage for CHANGING MY LIFE!!

2. Yes. For my part, gay people have forced me into polygamy.
Edited on Mon May-17-04 03:34 PM by jpgray
If they legalize GAY polygamy, then I will have to stage something elaborate, involving myriad fetishes that will cause power outages and computer failures throughout the known universe.

Unaffected by this.

On edit: I have been kinda hoping that Lil' Ricky Santorum is right and all this will lead to the acceptance of other modes of sexual expression. I have been thinking of registering a china pattern, with my female Eclectus.

10. You watched "Queer As Folk" last night, didn't you?
If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times: you can't watch that show without donning the special glasses. You forget the glasses and you're toast...more specifically, somewhere someone's taking delivery of a new toaster this morning.

You brought it on yourself...

Those are the first symptoms. Congratulations!!! Make sure you fix the exwife's cardboard box up real nice. You know we gay boys like really nice things.

33. We're not allowed to discuss nipple piercing at the office
The rest you'll have to take up with your dentist.

That reminds me. I've been getting a lot of stares lately because I've been lisping really badly. That's when I explain that I've basically got no front teeth (dentist appt. on the 28th).

26. Do You Use "Product" In Your Hair? Do You "Szhuuzsh" Your Sleeves?
And have you stopped shaving against the grain?

P.S. Chiffon is good. Taffeta is better (only it wrinkles so easily.)

31. That's gay-talk for pushing them half-way up your forearm...
or if it's not a knit cuff that will hold itself in place, you'd simply do a loose roll of the cuff so that it's about halfway up the forearm... stopping just below the elbow.

Obviously you've never seen Carson talking about this important skill on "Queer Eye". (We simply MUST get you a satellite dish!)

20. I'm gay. But seeing events unfold has changed me irrevocably:
I am going hetero.

That's right.

The peen no longer interests me. I want boobies and 'down there', and lots of them! And long silky hair! I feel compelled to do what is morally right for this country! Breed and make babies while under the sanctity of a true marriage (which will have a skydiving/Sesame Street theme to it where we jump out of planes in Elmo costumes saying our self-written vows in an Elmo-like falsetto voice while wearing Halloween Elmo costumes.)

So who wants to ride the Wild Hypno?

Thank you right wingers! By allowing these abominable people to marry, you have made me see the light! Blue light! No more rose colored lenses for me, there's only one form of love that's acceptable and I denounce my wicked and awful hedonistic past!

Edited on Mon May-17-04 03:43 PM by LynneSin
...and is flying to California so she can move in with NSMA and live a life filled with flannel shirts and power tools. I've heard that even Mrs. Matcom has switched sides simply because she viewed a picture of a same-sex couple getting married.
