Gay

I’m gay

I know

You do?

You said so.

Did I?

Yes, you did.

I guess, I’m just used to repeatedly coming out.

Repeatedly?

Yes, with everyone I meet.

Everyone?

Everyone.

Why?

It comes up in most conversations.

What does?

What do you do?

Oh yes.

Are you married, is next.

I guess it does.

It does.

You could say yes.

Then it is what does your wife do?

Really.

Words to that effect.

Words to that effect?

Computer programming.

Computer programming.

Where does she do that?

Oh, I see.

Yes, suddenly you are well into the story.

You could lie.

So, you think lying is preferable to gay?

I didn’t say that.

Actually, you just did.

I didn’t mean to.

Most people don’t.
