A-make every effort to correct them right away in front of the
audience
B-bring it up to them later on
C-not bother to correct it cause it doesn't really matter
D-something else
i'm straight and i'd probably go with B, i'm not very threatened by rumors but also would want them to know the truth about my happy marriage, too.

C- it is none of their business. I think people that are borderline homosexuals would get offended by someone calling them gay, like they have to defend their manhood. I am not gay and I could care less.

I'm gay, and if someone made a reference to me and it hinted that I was straight, I'd go with A - make every effort to correct them right away in front of everyone.

I would do C -
In cities like the one I live in where homophobic groups call equal rights for those who are gay or lesbian "special rights" -- people are judged by their outward looks/mannerisms in getting housing, jobs, etc. (and these groups try to put amendments out to make this legal). That's just plain wrong.

I doubt I would say anything at the time...perhaps if it came up in conversation later I would address the matter...but I don't really care one way or the other what people think. Most people in our circle of friends and acquaintances know both my husband & I so doubt the situation would arise

A, get it cleared up in front of everybody, nip it in the bud.
I would try more of a lighthearted or comical approach, if possible.
Politically correct phonies can tell you it doesn't matter if you are gay, but it does.
Gays are still looked down on, don't believe the hype.
If you are gay, thats fine, but you don't need the stigma if it weren't true.

Even still, it's no good to be misunderstood. Clear the matter up and say you have nothing against gays. Then find out why they feel you are and tell them they are wrong.

It depends on who the audience consist of.If it's just associates then B is my answer. If it's business people and could hinder or hurt then i'll go with A.

D. Something else....just Smile, people are going to make their own conclusions anyway, the perverse in our nature will always be to "Rumor", and it is interesting to me how others perceive.

I'd go with B, but I'd make it clear to them that my sexuality *even though I'm straight* is none of their business and shouldn't be brought up in public without my consent.

I'd say A. I'm not into the idea of anyone thinking I'm gay.
