One of my fraternity brothers was always dating homecoming queens and the sorority girls were almost waiting in line to date him. His Dad got a job transfer to another state and he finished up his college senior year at another school. I went to visit him 2 years later and when I got there he told me that his 2 roommates were gay (and since he was 110% straight I never thought that he was gay). The day before I left he told me that he was gay too. I think I walked around with dumbfounded after that out of shock, but it ended up helping me out when I came to terms of myself being gay a few years later because I realized that gay people are like everyone else and that stereotypes aren't how people really are.

I am no longer shocked by any such information that comes to light. I am surprised sometimes, but not shocked. It sometimes does take me aback though how someones sexuality is expressed, how intense it can become or expressed in unusual ways -- like the sex in public places scenario.
I am a little surprised today that many people who do have an interest in their same sex do not always label themselves as gay. "Experimenting" is a label that comes to mind. Also, I think that more and more bisexuals are at least admitting their sexual orientation to themselves.

With some guys I went to high school with, I wasn't shocked, but I was suprized. Then when I thought about it, it kind of made perfect sense.
There was a guy I was friends with as a kid, and when I got a job at the same place he worked at when we were older (and he was gay), I teased him about how I knew him when he was girl-crazy.
There have been people I've known, and I was shocked to find out they were straight. :-)

Just saddened really, my cousin was last boy to carry a disappearing family name, he never married because he was gay, shocked many people in our family; just made me sad to see the line become extinct.

actually quite the opposite, someone i thought was gay. my gaydar went off every-time we were around each other, and had all the mannerisms of a twink. so i finally asked him out on a date and he introduced me to the girl he had been dating and their child. guess i needed to get an adjustment to the gaydar......dam he was cute too
