Mmmm... I don't know where you're from. I'm from São Paulo, a city where gay
people in Brazil concentrate, since it's one the biggest cities in the
world. We have a wild gay nightlife, which many people like to frequent,
regardless of being gay or not. An American HIV-positive gay friend of mine,
who lives in NYC but often travels to São Paulo, says being gay here is more
well-accepted than there. I'm also an English teacher ( therefore,
presumably gay by most people here ) and have many, many, many gay friends.
I probably know more what a 'gay look' is than anyone in a
two-million-people city anywhere in the world! And those guys do look gay
regardless of being gays or not. I'm talking about looks, and so are his
friends ).

and you're jumping off the deep end of language: I asked: HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT POSSIBLY POSSIBLY POSSIBLY POSSIBLY ( I hope that echo can help you
register the presence of the word ) LOOKING GAY? Concerning looking gay
'just singing in a cabaret', ask his straight friends! they had that doubt,
not me. AARRRGGGGHHHH.

Oh, my, oh, my: READ. That's the magical word! I won't waste my time
clarifying that. Anyone who can read and relate ideas in a text understood
what I meant!
One thing is being PC. Something completely different is assuming that
heterosexuals ( that is, his friends ) will see things through those
fabricated naive eyes. I was talking about ACTUAL social perception, not
about how people should perceive reality. And the very existence of his
first question is the evidence of that. BTW, I'm sure he understood
everything I wrote.
