Title.
I've been suspected to be gay a lot of times by people at school, and my family even.
I remember one day, i was in class, the topic of gay dudes came up in a group of boys that was chatting next to me, they were talking and one of them said they don't know anyone who's gay in real life, then, he paused for a moment, and went like "wait, isn't [my name] gay?"
He said that, all the other boys agreed, they also thought i was gay.
I heard that, i stood up and faced them and said that i was actually, not gay, i was straight.
They were somewhat surprised, they were completely serious in thinking i was gay, they weren't even laughing, they weren't even talking to me, but i just happened to hear it.
One of them went like, "oh sorry dude, it's just that i never see you with girls, i thought you just weren't interested in them, like no offense, but thats what i thought"
This wasn't just regular banter where you call another dude a faggot and laugh, they were completely serious.
I got very mad at that, of course. I'm a man. That's one of the most disrespectful and offensive things you can be called as one.
I never displayed feminine behaviour, i never acted like a fag, never did anything with another dude where others could see it, never had weird dynamics with male friends, i don't have very feminine features, never had a weird voice, nothing else but the fact most boys in the school and most boys my age already had girlfriends or were seen with girls, and i didn't, indicated that i was actually gay. That was the only reason people thought i was gay.
Normgroids cannot comprehend another man is just not capable of being with girls as easily as they can, or at all, they cannot think of another reason for why that is so, so they MUST be gay.
It feels worse when your own family does this, ever since i was a teenager my mom asked me several times from there and onwards if i was gay because i never brought girls over or was seen with girls, had female friends..
One day she just sat me down out of nowhere to give me a lecture about how being gay is ok, how she accepts me and such, when i never told her i was gay, never acted so, she just assumed it, I got pretty angry at her for doing that shit out of nowhere.
