I’d like to think that I’m pretty in tune with people’s sexual orientation. Most recently, however, I realized it may be time to fork tune my gaydar.
While at a winemaking class with Oreggano and BioMom, we met a group of men in town from New York and invited them back to the stoop. We felt this was a safe decision because we assumed they were gay. The decision was safe, but as it turns out, they’re not gay. “What has happened to our gaydar?” Oreggano asked. “Clearly, it’s broken,” I replied.
A couple weeks later we were hanging with Tree and told him we need to go to more gay bars with him. “Why?” he asked. “Our gaydar appears to be broken,” Oreggano advised him and then told him about the guys, not gays, we invited back to the stoop. “What straight guys go out together for wine?” Tree asked. “Right?!?!” Orreggano agreed. “They were dressed nice too. Drank wine, nice dressers, friendly, just a bunch of guys together on a Friday night,” I said. “I’m telling you, metrosexuals are ruining the world,” Tree stated. “It’s a good thing they were nice or we might have been tied up in the basement and left for dead,” Oreggano said. “Instead, we just wound up in the basement with them trying on costumes,” I replied. “See? Totally broken,” Oreggano told Tree. Definitely time for a fork tune so we’ll have a better idea that someone is into show tunes….or not.
