The post that was quoted here has been removedDuchess. If I go to a dinner party tonight,, gals over on the sofa talk about their latest books, the guys talk about football and fishing, and I get all their attention, and say, " I am announcing that I am gay.".
What are all the dinner guests supposed to think? (This assumes that I am not a celebrity). Better yet, tell us what the lib guests would think, and what the conservative guests (like me) would think. And,, what would you think(seriously, with no political correctness/bandwagon fakery)?
@averagejoe1 saidI'd think you are just doing that to get attention.

@averagejoe1 saidToday I think I will go to the pet store and get a female guinea pig, put it in a cage, and then fix her up with another female guinea pig.
You got me there, Duchess.... Yes, I would much rather hear that a woman is marrying a man. I guess I need to see a psychologist. My momma must have raised me wrong, what with nature and such.
Today I think I will go to the pet store and get a female guinea pig, put it in a cage, and then fix her up with another female guinea pig. Funny how you libs justify the unnatural.
Political jab's aside, this is pretty funny.

@liljo saidI think this is just some overcompensation that will eventually settle down, especially when some of the would-be totalitarians start to notice that what goes around comes around.
...and a news story here as well as long as we have our Duchess reporting...
Seriously, I look at it this way: What Li Ying does with her life has absolutely zero affect on my life.
What DOES impact the lives of society as a whole is this entire flood of alphabet-people in commercials, sit-coms, etc., 24-hours per day 7 days a week. It's very predictable now. Watch a sit ...[text shortened]... acist." THAT affects me, personally.
Yep. It's all propaganda. And propaganda is purpose-driven.
And it's not just left-coast academics trying to nanny-state all of us wayward children -- corporations are also involved in maintaining and promoting the propaganda du jour for the sake of profit.
A strange hybrid: social-realist capitalism. 😉

@averagejoe1 saidWhile we wait for Duchess, my view is that it's an unlikely scenario, especially if it's mostly just acquaintances.

But let's say this is a group of trusted friends and for whatever reason the moment seems right for the revelation. It implies that the person coming out to this group trusts and respects them enough to mention it, for the sake of living more honestly among them (e.g., instead of having to maintain a facade or barrier re: their love life).
Probably, in such a scenario, most of the friends would think, "Oh yeah, we kind of figured."
Jokes follow:
The liberal guests should think that the person who came out probably needs to be hooked into the rainbow political network and might need to attend some Wokeness workshops or maybe an accelerated indoctrination camp.
The conservative guests should of course go out to their pickup trucks to fetch their wooden stakes, mallets, and kerosene (not all of the conservatives, of course -- some will have to be involved in subduing and restraining the pervert).
@kevin-eleven saidI’m quite the conservative and would say, why are you telling us that....it just makes us uncomfortable. Do we need to know that.?”

Your’living more honestly’ comment.... does this mean that everyone else in the room is NOT being honest, as they keep their sex life and bedroom antics to themselves? PLEASE answer this.

>> I’m quite the conservative and would say, why are you telling us that....it just makes us uncomfortable. Do we need to know that.?”
Okay. That's fine.
But in the question that you posed, you would be saying that to yourself, wouldn't you? 😉

Of course not. But I'm not the one who brought up sex and bedroom antics. You did.
@kevin-eleven saidYing Lee’s sex life declaration, the thread subject, certainly opens the door for my question. So, given that, if a person announces their gaiety at a dinner, and is applauded for being honest, am I being dishonest if I don’t announce my sexual preference.?

I can't imagine that anyone who really knows you would "come out" to you, whether at a dinner party or privately, so it's not something you need to worry about or prepare for.
I hope this helps to relieve your anxieties.
