From The Scale Of 1 To Clay Aiken, How Gay Are You?

Don’t get me wrong with the title of this blog because am not going to write about gay story here. Not at all. So, sit back and don’t jump into a conclusion about me as an anti-gay person just yet because this one is way different than whatever you think of at this moment.
A couple of months ago, when my friends and I went for a short holiday in Jakarta, we were thinking about introducing a dear friend to another dear friend of us. Both of them are singles and the guy was always asked us to set him up with someone, as he has been single for quite sometime now. So yeah, one night we set him to meet my dear cute friend which a very close friend of mine but not in our sort of gang. Coincidentally, when she picked me up for a dinner date one night, the guy was in our apartment, in our bed to be exact, snuggling with my other dear friend. So yeah, I pulled her into the bedroom to introduced to him. As I knew my dear girl for almost six years now, I can see the shocked in her face seeing him underneath the quilt. Here is the thing, maybe I didn’t mention it yet to you guys, but even though she was a dear friend of mine, we only see each other few times a year as we live in two different cities. So yeah, she might knew how close I was to my gang, but to see it by her own eyes probably was too much for her.
On the way to dinner, I asked her what she thought of the guy. Here was her reaction, first she laughed. But I catch the bitterness in her laugh. Then she was like, “How could you try to set me up with a guy when he was snuggled with other girl in a bed like that? I mean, now the image of him in bed with other girl was the first impression that I could imagine the whole time!” I was like, “ But that was nothing, you knew who the girl is, and we all are friends in there. And yeah, we do share bed but that was different. We don’t have that kind of feeling that a woman and a man have when they share bed. We’re friends and don’t you do the same thing with your friends too?” She then like, “Um…no?”
Now, as I said before, different people have different way on how to deal with life in general and there was nothing wrong about that. Maybe my dear friend doesn’t do whatever we do inside our circle, but that was totally alright. It was only about the matter of choice that you make in life. As simple as that. So yeah, don’t judge us just because we were never have any boundaries when it comes to friendship. For us, friendship doesn’t concern gender, so often we said that everyone in our group is gay. We were never consider that there are actually two opposite sexes in the gang. For us, we all are the same. Maybe for some people this sounds weird but that the way we treat our friendship. I can not see any other way to treat a friend, because to be honest with you, I live in a circle of a very nice friends and we were that closed to each other hence a misunderstanding sometime. Our partners were used to be the ones who objected with our closeness, but, after we explained to them on how we treat our sort of friendship thingy, they forced to accepted it. Of course, there was a time when they were not happy with it, but at the end of the day, they adjusted. Am pretty sure that our partners now were kind of think of themselves as gays too. Yeah, just so they can mingle, hah! So guys, from the scale of 1 to Clay Aiken, how gay are you? Are you gay enough to be one of us?
