10 Things You Should Not Ask A Homosexual

1. Which one of you is the male and who is the female of the relationship?

This really grinds my gears. I am a man and my boyfriend is a man so technically we are both the male in the relationship. What you meant to say was "which one is more feminine?". With that question in mind it is no one's business who is more feminine in my relationship. That is between me and my significant other. I do think this applies to all of the homosexual females out there as well.

2. Are you Homosexual because of a bad relationship?

Actually, all my previous relationships were great. There was nothing I would regret. Also, me and all my ex's are great friends still to this day even though we broke up years ago. So to answer your question, no, a bad break up does not make a person gay. So in words from Lady GaGa, "you are born this way baby."

3. When did you find out you like the same sex?

Let me just ask you this. When did you find out you are straight? I bet you never had to think about that. I have always known that I was different right from the start. I just did not know what my difference was at the time. I did not just wake up one day and say "You know what I am gonna be gay today. I am gonna get myself a man". No darling that is not how this works.

4. Why do gay guys seem so feminine?

Excuse me, what are you trying to say here? Are you saying I cannot be masculine? I am going to put this as delicately as possible. Honey, the gays have been fixing your car, riding motorcycles, shooting guns at the gun range and probably built that coffee table that you are looking at from across the room. You did not think about that, did ya now? Also, yes, I know that I tend to be more feminine because I am a wanna be Drag Queen but that has nothing to do with it. Just because I am gay does not mean I can not do manly things.

5. OMG! You're gay let's go shopping?

This gets on my nerves. Number one, I am a college student so you know that I am broke. When I do come in contact with some money I have bills to pay. If you are offering to buy stuff for me then great I always need some Lewy Baton shoes. Number two, why would I want to go shopping with you? I only go shopping with people that I truly know and actually do not despise. Trust me, I am a great guy to get along with but I just do not want to go shopping just because I am gay.

6. My opinion on all your clothes

Since I am on the topic of shopping lets get this out of the way. I may look good in my clothing because I think I look good. Not all gays have that fashion sense. There is probably a homosexual out there wearing sweat pants and a T-shirt all the time. So if you want my opinion on clothes I am just gonna say I either like it or not. I am not gonna give specific reasons why. Plus you already bought the outfit so why do you need my opinion? Just follow my advice. I do not care what others think about your clothes. I stopped caring about what I am wearing since middle school.

7. Be my GBF?

If you ask me this there are two ways I am going to answer this. Either with you being drop kicked out the front door or a slapped in the face. I do not what to be friends with someone just because I am gay. That really hurts my feelings, you know? It seems like I am a prize to be won. There are a couple of people who refer to me as a "GBF" because they either knew me before I came out, or I like them to the point of not wanting to snatch that weave off their head. Plus, it feels a bit stalkerish. Why in the world would I want to be friends with you because of that?

8. Let me find you a date?

I am perfectly able to find my own dates thank you very much. There are multiple dating apps, there are gay coffee shops and life is right outside of my front door. Yeah, I know I have a lot of insecurities and have issues talking with people. Also, do not get me started on how I can hold a conversation. I am capable of finding my own man. There is just one exception I will make. Your friend is interested in the same stuff as I am and he is decent looking. Maybe then I will try a date. Just do not start fan-girling and saying how cute we will be together. That is a big buzz kill especially doing that high pitch voice thing girls do.

9. Do you think your child will be gay too?

These next two are for the future me and other gay parents. If my child is gay then let them be gay. If he or she wants to to be straight then fine by me. My kids will have total freedom to express themselves and no one is going to take that away. Maybe in the future the world will be more accepting because there is still hate in today's society.

10. Don't you wish they had a male/female role model in their life?

My kids will be just fine. They will have two loving parents who will not throw them out because of their sexual orientation. They are going to have freedom of expression and have a healthy life style. They will have a mother figure coming either from me or my spouse, so do not worry dear. My kids are gonna be taken care of which is more than I can say for I can say for some people.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
