If your roommate were gay...

<p>thx GUNOT, your the only one here thats rational.</p>

<p>Or intolerant, depending on how you look at it.</p>

<p>i dont think anyone woudl want a gayroomate.. the akwardness is extreme..</p>

<p>I think every straight man truely hates the idea of a gay man sleeping no less than a couple feet from him. Imagine that, DAMN just thinkin about it makes me want to punch my damn computer. If you are gay, live with a gay roommate. PERIOD</p>

<p>How is it akward? My roomate is gay and it hasn't been 'akward' at all</p>

<p>If he wasn't attrated to me or something...why should I care? </p>

<p>Now, if he WAS attracted to me, Ima gonna buy myself a metal bat so that if he was to go all infatuated with me and sneak up on me while I was asleep and inflict his 'passion' on me (like in Wedding Crashers), he won't do it again. :p</p>

<p>"Now, if he WAS attracted to me, Ima gonna buy myself a metal bat so that if he was to go all infatuated with me and sneak up on me while I was asleep and inflict his 'passion' on me, he won't do it again"</p>

<p>wow, just wow. Even if he was attracted to you, I HIGHLY doubt he would do that. I mean if you roomed with a girl you were attracted to, would you do something like that?</p>

<p>I was just bringing some needed humor into this thread :/</p>

<p>I don't think it matters.</p>

<p>for whatever reason, i think guys are way more homophobic than girls
besides that straight guys may also not mesh well with more effeminate (as defined by outdated conceptions of female behavior), Rent-loving,, flamboyant gay guys.
for girls and guys, you may have a little less comfort in your room ie walking around in your dorm in minimal clothing for bed, going braless, etc
for guys, because guys are just more sexually aggressive (i don't just mean rape, i mean inappropriate comments, touching, etc) it may also present more of a challenge
there is absolutely no reason lgbt people should be forced to disclose their sexuality. it should come out in normal conversation tho, and they should not be pressured to hide their preferences</p>

<p>I can only sincerely hope that those of you that are concerened about something as trivial as this grow up before you go to college. sheesh.</p>

<p>Yeah, I feel like men are more homophobic that women too.</p>

<p>I wouldn't see a problem with it, and unless it came up in a convo I wouldn't expect my roomate to tell me. I don't go around saying "Hi, my name is ___. I'm straight." Why should they?</p>

<p>I've heard guys at my school saying "well I don't want them looking at me in the shower or something" reality check.. maybe they don't want to. Every gay man/woman is not some kind of animal that would do the first person of the same sex they see.</p>

<p>My friend (gay) has plenty of same sex friends (straight) but looks no differently, and acts no differently around them then he does around me, he simply sees them as just friends.</p>

<p>This reminds me of the "girls and guys can't just be friends" type thing. :P</p>

<p>I don't think it matters. One thing I never understood: Why do straight guys dislike gay guys so much? Gay guys are not going to hit on you if you're not gay.</p>

<p>I think it's a subconscious fear of anal rape that all homophobic men share.</p>

<p>there are those who disagree with the concept of homosexuality but can still respect people who are that way. then there are the closet cases... who want to inflict violence and are incredibly reactionary toward anything that is gay.</p>

<p>Ah. In the closet anal rape sufferers. The worst.</p>

<p>If a gay liberal Jew and a homophobic anti-semitic fundie can last a year without killing one another, none of y'all have anything to worry about. Trust me--I speak from experience.</p>

<p>Then again, I never told him any of that. Odds are he would've killed me in my sleep.</p>

<p>Straight guys have absolutely nothing in common with gay guys is another big reason. Not many straight guys can jam out to the Spice Girls and spend hours decorating the room or watch Laguna Beach while talking about how to give a BJ. Straight guys want to watch football, drink beer and hang up drywall, something few gay guys enjoy.</p>

<p>When a guy sees a hot girl he is going to wonder what she looks like naked instinctively. Acutually the girl doesn't even have to be hot for the thought to occur, i just does. I think guys think about sex like once every ten seconds or something. So, would it be any different for gay guys? I doubt it. If the gay guy is thinking about sex once every ten seconds as well, he is going to start wondering what his straight roommate looks like at least once in a while. What a way too make this discussion awkward for the girls and guys.</p>

<p>As for my self, I would want to know I had a gay roomate. More than anything so I know not to try and talk about girls with him on a sexual level, and to avoid some awkward moments that would arise from similar topics if do not know he is gay.</p>
