I mean that I’m okay with the fact that my beliefs and preferences offend people sometimes. It’s unavoidable, so I don’t worry about it too much.

Just be mindful of when your beliefs and preferences are in the wrong. We’re not always right and sometimes people’s responses are a sign we made a mistake.

Denis Leary, “I’m an Asshole”…that’s how.

I’m not familiar with it. I know of him, but I’ve never heard that bit.

I’m not sure what “cis” means, but that’s cool.

Opposite of trans.

Maybe GLBTs are different where you’re from. I’ve worked with several men who couldn’t stop being “the gay guy.” They didn’t always talk about what it’s like to be gay, but they were always drawing attention to their sexuality. This is the same as a guy my wife worked with who couldn’t stop being “the black guy.” I just don’t like being around people who can only talk about one issue, or people who yearn to be the token.

“Drawing attention to it?”

If you mean the guy who’s femmy and has a lisp (the “fabulous” archetype) that’s just someone being themselves. It’s no different than me wearing my fauxmilitary jacket or you listening to music you like.

Self expression is not rubbing your face in it. It’s just being.

Boredom and annoyance. Yes, just like that. “I don’t want to talk about your sexuality / the White Stripes / LOST / the Yankees anymore. Please change the subject, or go somewhere else.” It might sound rude, but I’d only say that if I still wanted to be friends. Otherwise I’d distract you somehow and mysteriously disappear…

Ngl, I don’t think I’d enjoy being friends with you.
