Lorraine, I’m not a Lesbian
Just returned home from my high school reunion. Amazing time. Everyone was so nice and warm and absolutely wonderful to one another. Lots of laughing and catching up. But hands down best question of the weekend came from my childhood friend Lorraine, whom I hadn’t seen in almost twenty years. She pulled me aside and said, “Hey … I don’t mean to offend, but there aren’t any photos of you with other men on Facebook, yet you do have tons of you with beautiful women, so I have to ask … are you a lesbian?”
Whaaaaaat?
I wanted to bust out laughing. Not that I would mind being a lesbian. I just happen to only be sexually attracted to men. Maybe she’s a lesbian and hoping I was! Only kidding. She’s married with four kids, so perhaps it truly was an innocent conclusion. But is that what it comes down to? No Man – Must Be Lesbian. I think not. Still, I considered posting a photo album with men I’ve dated on Facebook, titled “Misc.” But that might get awkward. Besides, who would the album be for? Not me. I know I’ve had more than my share of the dating pool, so what would I be trying to prove? I decided not to do anything.
