Gay Christian Online Picture of Ben And Pinocchio How To Tell If "Someone" Is Gay Or Lesbian Silly Ol' Bear THE "SPOT THE GAY" GAME ONE - HOW TO TELL IF "SOMEONE" IS GAY OR LESBIAN THE "SPOT THE GAY" GAME TWO - HOW TO TELL IF "YOU" ARE GAY OR LESBIAN END OF THIS PAGE Have you ever met someone and wondered, "Is he gay?" What about a family member, and you thought, "I wonder if she is a lesbian?" I often get letters from parents, friends, family members, co-workers, even wives or husbands wondering, worrying, concerned, or just curious about someone they know, if that person might be homosexual or heterosexual, gay or lesbian. So, here I offer a guide (in game form) to assist you in telling if "someone else" is gay, lesbian, or straight. On the next page, I offer a guide (in game form) to tell if "you" might be gay. I hope this will assist you in knowing more about people who are gay and lesbian, and how to relate to and understand them. Feel free to write to me if you have any questions, or need further assistance. Thanks, Ben GAME ONE Read each question carefully. When you think you know the answer, hold your mouse pointer in place over the answer you think is correct, gay (homosexual) or straight (heterosexual). In a couple of seconds, the highlighted answer will appear. Now, do not cheat, and just highlight every answer. Really try. Keep track of your score (twenty questions total) for your "evaluation" at the end of the game. For Those Whose Highlight Function Will Not Work, Answers May Be Found At The End Of The Test. 01.

ANSWERS For Those Whose Highlight Function Will Not Work 01. Straight; He just accidentally washed all of his white dress shirts with a red towel; typical male. 02. Straight; Not teddy bear, teddy; left by the woman he was with last night. You might want to get a different boyfriend. 03. Straight; It is her sister, serving in the military overseas. 04. Gay; But, in this case only the lack of a girlfriend is the clue, and even that is not always a sign. 05. Straight; His former job was working as a supervisor in a hardware decorating store. 06. Straight; She likes to look at all the cute football player butts. 07.Straight; And when your car breaks down, you will thank her for knowing how to take care of herself and you, too. 08. Gay; You are not that clueless, are you? 09. Straight; I almost forgot, he is French, and what a kisser. Swoon. 10. Straight; He is the new chef at the best restaurant in town. 11. Gay; But, it was when he introduced you to his boyfriend. Which nipple or earlobe does not mean anything. 12. Straight; There he goes, getting on his motorcycle. That makes sense. 13. Straight; She�s eighty years old, is cold all the time, and has bad feet. 14. Straight; He is six foot, seven inches tall, and played basketball in college. 15. Gay; It is a male cheerleader on the poster, and if he is ever going to have a life partner, you better teach him how to start cleaning up after himself. 16. Straight; He likes to play pranks and practical jokes on people, not dress up in drag, and even drag is not a sign, too. 17. Gay; Not because of the pick-up, but because she always puts a rainbow sticker on the bumper. In most locations, the rainbow flag is one of many symbols used by gays and lesbians. However, this can be slightly confusing in Europe, where the rainbow flag also happens to represent an environmental peace political party. 18. Straight; It is just a game, nothing more. Please. 19. Gay; And your family should have started speaking of your Aunt's lover as more than a 'friend' long, long ago. Why don't you begin today? 20. Gay or Straight; Maybe, maybe not; if so, it has nothing to do with dad. RESULTS So, how did you do?
