You’ve been friends for years with this guy who you’ve long suspected to be PLU (People Like Us). You have not opened up to him about your being gay/bi/whatever. Outwardly he looks and acts straight, and he himself says he’s straight. However, from your point of view, there are signs that suggest he is indeed PLU — he’s good looking, and successful both in school and at work, but he’s never had a girlfriend; he’s very physically conscious, a bit vain actually, and maintains a mysterious distance whenever the topic of homosexuality arises in conversations. Also, recently, you’ve noticed the way he looks at guys, lingering, and simply just out of the ordinary. There really is something there, although you can never be 100% sure.
What would you do?
A. In a moment of privacy (when it’s just you and him), you will gently open up your mind’s curiosity and ask him pointblank, “Bro, are you gay?”
B. Open up to him, “Bro, I’m gay” in the hopes that he will be inspired to open up to you as well.
C. Without him knowing, test him [insert a creative gay litmus test here].
D. Do something else [insert your idea here].
E. None of the above, which means, do nothing, it’s none of your business.
