Would you mind if your potluck roommate was gay?

<p>I am roommate searching on fb and just came across some people who were gay...</p>

<p>To be honest, I really don't know how I'd act...I would probably be fine with it after a while...</p>

<p>Yes</p>

<p>10 billion char</p>

<p>Hmm…I’d be a little uncomfortable. I’d learn to live with it, though, as long as he wasn’t hitting on me or something, or bringing guys back to the room to “have fun.”</p>

<p>I’m perfectly fine with it. Speaking as the gay roommate of the group, we both get along with it, respect each other’s space with regards to bringing anyone over, and go along perfectly fine.</p>

<p>However, if you’re not sure how you’d react or think you’d act negatively, save your prospective roommate the pain and don’t do it. You’re only going to offend them.</p>

<p>Not at all. He’d probably keep the room neater than most guys anyway.</p>

<p>“as long as he wasn’t hitting on me or something”</p>

<p>Everyone says this but gay guys can tell that you’re straight and won’t hit on you.</p>

<p>Nah, I could care less. It’s not like I’m so supernaturally attractive that a gay roommate would be ogling my beauty/fighting not to jump my bones all the time, y’know?</p>

<p>I worry how others will feel too since I am gay. I dont make it an issue as long as others dont. And I would NEVER hit on my roommate, even if he was the hottest guy in school</p>

<p>As long as she wasn’t eating sushi in the room while I was in it, I’d be okay. But that’s a general code of conduct. No sex while the roommate is present. Otherwise, I wouldn’t care.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t care at all, but I’m not a freshman.</p>

<p>Eating sushi? Hah I’ve never heard that slang before.</p>

<p>I want a hot lesbian roommate.</p>

<p>I think it would take me time to accept it and use to it.</p>

<p>Respect would be important for this transition</p>

<p>oh shi-, someone with a sexuality different from my own?! i could not possibly accept this fact that has NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. </p>

<p>for those of you who would be fine with it as long as he doesn’t “bring back any friends” or whatever, i hope you’re going to pay him the same courtesy.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t care (I’m a girl) but two of my guy friends live with a gay guy and they’re cool with it too.</p>

<p>Yeah, I got guy friends with gay roommates too. It’s funny that the straight ones touch each other and stuff while the gay ones don’t. The straight ones also come closer to having gay sex when they’re watching football than the gay ones ever do.</p>

<p>

That would be my concern.</p>

<p>My son thinks his roommate is gay, but the roommate is trying very hard not to let anyone know. It’s actually kind of sad, when you think about it. My son will have his girlfriend over, but his roommate rarely has this guy over. BTW, my son is very good looking and the guy has never hit on him. “I don’t care if he’s gay”, were my son’s words. I am proud of his attitude.</p>

<p>It’s really no different than having a straight roommate. One of my roommates is gay (although we’re both girls, and I live in an apartment so I have my own bedroom), and it’s really not weird.</p>

<p>My roommate can have sex with whoever she wants. I don’t care. It’s not like she forces me to watch. It doesn’t interfere with my privacy or my life. Sure, I wouldn’t want her sleeping with her girlfriend while I’m in the same bedroom… but I also wouldn’t want a straight roommate having sex with a boyfriend when I’m there!</p>

<p>Although it was funny when we decided to live together and she said “Uh… so… there’s something you should know about living with me. I bring home girls sometimes…”</p>

<p>“BTW, my son is very good looking and the guy has never hit on him”</p>

<p>Interesting! So being gay means being good looking, first and basic impression, whoa, intersting</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Please. I’m pretty sure the point is that rooming with a gay guy shouldn’t be an issue, because gay guys don’t automatically just hit on every other guy they can find. (duh).</p>

<p>And regardless, gay people are often attracted to attractive people, the same way straight people are often attracted to attractive people. Hardly something to be offended by.</p>

<p>Thank you for explaining it to compaq, Emily. There were a couple of posts inferring good-looking people could have more of a problem, but that just isn’t true.</p>

<p>As long as he didn’t leave dildos lying around</p>
