Why I'm Queer (an infinite list)

Because the back of a guy's neck can hold my gaze for a long time and because the only times in my life that I've ever been struck senseless by someone's looks they've all been women.

(And only a couple of them would be considered noticeably attractive by cultural standards. And only one was a blond.)

TV Dick Part 3: Those Jews!

Though I can't cite every example I've heard, circumcision jokes are fairly popular on TV sitcoms. Circumcision jokes are usually based around a Jewish character and the joke is made as if circumcision is solely unique to Jews. There have been several circumcision jokes made on the Big Bang Theory because the character Howard is Jewish. But odds are good that Sheldon and Leonard would be circumcised, too. In America circumcision is far from exclusively Jewish. Even in these more enlightened times when many parents choose to not have their boys circumcised America's non-religious circumcision rate is pretty high.  Growing up in the 70s I had one friend who wasn't circumcised and can't recall seeing a single uncircumcised penis in my gym class showers. All my male friends, none of them Jewish or Muslim (a group that never is included in the circumcision jokes), were/are circumcised. Almost every guy I've ever fooled around with has been circumcised...

Self Confidant

Among my friends and acquaintances I've always been the guy others ask for advice, make confessions to, or just use as a sounding board. I think I'm sought out because I listen, can ask a friend questions that lead him to figuring out an answer, and I give advice that works. I've helped friends and acquaintances make career choices, buy houses, choose between love interests, plan parties, figure out a good gift for a special occasion, and so on. I've also listened to plenty of “I'm feeling like this and I don't want to feel like that” rants and monologues. Even if it's a rant or bemoaning that I've heard a half dozen times I don't mind listening to friends troubles or helping them solve problems. But there is an annoying aspect to my position as a go-to general help guy: No one wants to listen to me if I'm going through something or trying to solve a problem. I'm not someone who moans and groans about my lot in life. In general I...

Queercentric

My whole life I've been into guys. Even before puberty I was interested in other naked boys. But for most of my life my interest in guys was purely sexual. I wasn't romantically attracted to guys. The idea of having a boyfriend never occurred to me because it had no appeal to me though I had no issues about being sexually attracted to guys. (Well, no issues other than the usual American conservative religious belief that boys liking boys was a sin. But like most American conservative religious people I basically let myself ignore my beliefs so I could do what I wanted.)  In my mid twenties I escaped the mindset of my conservative religious upbringing and became thoroughly socially liberal. I was for equal rights for LGBTQ people even though I didn't feel much of a connection to the LGBTQ community. Though I had personally identified as bisexual since I was 13 my only interest in the LGBTQ world was that it included guys who liked having sex with other guys.  Being ...
