Do you think you would be angry if you found out another person was gossiping behind your back and lying by telling others that you are gay?

This is a question for straight men.

It would depend on how they are spreading that. I've had some people misread me or think I was gay just for smiling more as a man or wearing clothes with more colors than most men do. If they're just casually gossiping about me and saying stuff like "I think he might be gay cuz I notice such and such" or "I wonder if he's gay, can't tell" I wouldn't care, I would just chalk it up as ignorant or narrow-minded analysis.

But if this person has some kind of hidden dislike for me and they're just going around spreading rumors at point blank then that would be upsetting, yeah.

Who does this? Anyway none of my friends would believe that. People who lie about others mostly hurt only themselves.

I would be angry any time someone gossiped about me. If they told someone I was gay, then I would correct that if the person they told didn't already know it, because, as it turns out, I'm not gay. However, if I were gay, I don't think it would make any difference to me. After all, being gay is not a bad thing, like being a gossip or a backstabber or a loud mouth or a liar.

I wouldn't be surprised obviously it makes to meet girls when youve been slandered as something you aren't.

Why? Did I do something gay like ask him for some skin?

[jahaims]
