WITH YOUR RUDE @SS (Gay Gossip Edition)

I told y’all this series was coming back. And here it is. If you are new to this series, here are the previous blogs in it With Your Rude @ss (Short Hair Edition) & With Your Rude @ss (Big Bust Edition). Today’s entry of this is about something that many don’t think is rude, but it is. 

What makes it okay ask if someone is Gay? The only good reason I can think of is if you are looking to have a romantic rapport with that person. If that is not the case, What business is it of yours?

I don’t understand asking anyone that. I have had many people ask me if a friend, relative, neighbor, church member (current & former), & celebrity is gay. I used to avoid answering. Now I am pretty rude about asking me that. Oh I ask the inquirer; “Why?” “Do they want to date them?” “Do yoi know someone who is interested?” and of “Does this question make the inquirer a better person?”. Oh and afterwards I give them a hearty “Mind your business” or “Quit being nosy & gossipy”. Sure they think I am a jerk for my response but to me they are being a jerk for asking me about somebody else love life.

People are the worst about asking about celebrities. This morning I saw numerous tweets flooding my timeline and comment of several FB posted article wondering about Queen Latifah’s sexuality. Just last month a relative ask if we knew if Maya Angelou was a lesbian. I told that relative I wasn’t checking for her because I was not trying to date her. I then explain my stance on worrying about if people are hetero or homo is their sexuality (Yes, I got a “Why the heck did I ask you" look that I get all the time from my family) From the non-famous to famous talk show hosts, people are always wanting to know which celebrities are gay. There is oddly amazing to me.

It is amazing to me because of all the things humans think are right or wrongs someone’s sexuality is the only thing man thinks is okay to blatantly ask about. No one ever just unashamedly ask if someone is fornicating, had an abortion, murdered anyone, is an adulterer, or is a spousal abuser (which it's rude to ask about also) just because. Then why is someone’s sexuality thought to be up for regular discussion. It’s rude and if you ever ask me expect for me to give the answer you want. Stop asking that rude mess. It’s not our business.
