Yesterday was National Coming Out Day. I'm detailed
coming out several times on this blog and will continue to. But yesterday, without meaning to, I did it once more (Just to be upfront, I've referenced in this
comments section of an affiliate blog today). A co-worker from a different department bumped into me in the elevator and asked me how my day was. I responded, assuming this guy
knew, "Well, you know, sometimes it's tough being the only boy in my department. The menopause talk can be a bit much. If I weren't already gay, that would have turned me." His jaw dropped and he never responded, as the doors opened and we went our separate ways. I've seen several times since and it's been in no way strained, but that I was "coming out" as opposed to just making funny talk was as much a surprise to him as it was to me. That was my bit for National Coming Out. Talk about visibility!
Even funnier is that apparently my grocery store
knows:
It was even in the right size - a pint, cause it always goes bad if I buy more. I looked - there are no other HomoSpecific items on the shelves. Sure, there's stuff no self respecting homo could be without, but wouldn't it be awesome if there were a Gay Foods section in the "Ethnic" foods aisle? Just imagine - bright colors, fabulous looking displays and tons of stuff you don't need but will look cute in your cupboard!
At least that's how I picture it. In reality, it would probably just be a whole row of Tylenol PM and jelly beans.

MMmmm... Tylenol PM and Jelly Beans... sure know the way to a man's heart :-)
That is the best description of the gay aisle in a grocery I could imagine.
It should have breakfast cereals too, you know, like Fruit Loops...

You underestimated Andrew's winning jumping zebra dance
It would have to have Power Bars too...you know for all the Gym Bunnies.
