We're Out

Sara has a male friend who admitted to being gay. No cross-dressing transvestite, this fellow. This guy looked normal, sounded normal, and was a regular guy in almost every way. He was just into other guys. It was only after being told that she realized that this fellow did leave little clues everywhere, that once she put everything together, it did make sense.
Sara then thought up this theory that in any group of guys, there has to be one in the closet somewhere, but with little breadcrumbs leading the way there.

When she brought this theory up to us guys, as expected, there were a few edgy looks going across the table. And with each look, more than a few stories came out. Here are a few.

Back in high school, during one of our countless breaks, Gail went to bug Rhochie and quickly sat on his lap. Rhochie reacted immediately "Dali, Gail, tumayo ka! Tinitigasan ako!"

As TC and Aljay were walking around the UP campus, an outrageously gorgeous item came into view. TC thought to himself "Wow, she's hot." Unable and unwilling to take his eyes away, his brain could barely register anything else.
This was until Aljay called out to the person "John! Pare, kumusta?"

John once asked Bob if he wanted to get a Celine Dion cd. John somehow ended up with two copies of the same album. I guess when you're over six feet, 190 pounds, and start at power forward, you’d rarely get odd questions about your taste in music.
Years later, John managed to totally intimidate his teammates by belting out a soulful and evocative "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman."

Sara was shopping for some clothes and Bob tagged along with her. She stepped into a store and picked out a top. As she was looking it over, Bob said "I don't like the stitching on that one."
She got another top. "The fabric's kinda coarse." Back to the rack for that one.
She finally got to try one on, and it earned the evaluation "The style is ok, but it just doesn't drape well on you. The cut doesn’t seem to be suitable."
It's pretty much been that way ever since.

Back in high school, Rjay asked a question to several people.
"Kung papagpiliin ka, sino titirahin mo, si Aga Mulach o si Ruby Rodriguez."
His own answer, with conviction, was "Ako kay Aga. Hindi ko talaga kaya ng mataba."
After over eleven years since, he has an update.
"Sino titirahin niyo, sina Deither Ocampo o si Judy Ann Santos?"
"Hindi ko talaga kaya ng pangit. Kay Deither na ako"

The theories could just go on, that there’s at least a bit of femininity in all of us, or that maybe there is something behind these stories, that Sara could be proven correct.

Perhaps it’s just because we’ve known each other for so long.
