    I'm thinking that you don't wish to offend people, so you need to look at the type of statements you are making and stop making judgements and sweeping statements about a whole group of people.
    a prejudice does not have to be negative, its making an assumption that everyone in a whole group acts in a certain way, just because you happen to know some people of that group and you have observed it with them.
    seriously at some point you wil have to look at the comments you are making unless you wish to deliberatly cause offense

    Wow, don't freak out on me.
    I wasn't making any judgements at all.
    Not everyone is out to get you lol or label you...chill out. :)

    When I said you can tell by their reaction...I meant real subtle things, not stereotypic things.

    Example:
    In middle school, when there was this new girl who used to talk about how she kissed girls and stuff...
    I could tell by the look on my best friend's face because I know her well, and I could see the little smile on her face and I knew it was something she had no problem with and was almost looked curious.
    Compared to all the other girls who looked at that chick weirdly, me and her became good friends with that girl.
    And by my friend's facial expressions and reactions to certain stories I could tell she was into girls. And eventually we ended up dating. :)

    In my opinion - all men have some gayness in them :) Some will let go and explore, others will be internally confused with themselves and take it out as homophobia and gay hate - but either way - deep down inside, they want dick!

    thats nonsense, I am not remotly sexually attracted to women, it stands to reason that there are men out there that are not remotly attracted to other men, as gay men and women we want people to respect our sexuality, we do not want people to say we are not really gay, the least we can do is respect straight people also

    See, I already answered this question. That's it, I promise! Gay people are blacklight reactive, try it sometime.

    if someone is preceptive or has "gaydar" that person will usually determine that i am gay.

    Sometimes people have told me they knew I was Bi right from the start, but sometimes people are just clueless. I act pretty flamboyently sometimes, and my voice isn't exactly the most masculine thing ever (I don't have a lisp though). I guess it's just if they care or are paying attention to details.

    There is no way to tell. Gaydar is a myth. There are plenty of masculine gay men and effiminate strait men (same goes for lesbians and strait chicks) and bisexuals are total wild cards.

    if I'm with a lot of my friends a lot of the time i'm rlly open in how i act
    so most ppl can tell
    if i'm alone or with one or two people you can't unless homosexuality comes up
    ... i could always get that tatoo on my bicep and wear sleeveless tops all the time =P

    peace <3

    I pass as straight in 95% of situations. Every once in a while someone will catch on without me telling them. It would have been easier coming out if I was a bit more flamboyant. As I came out I had wished that instead of it being a big deal to come out it had been like a big "duh' as I told people.

    you cant look at a person and tell if their gay or not.
    and the way someone dresses doesnt always mean that their gay or straight.
    So the best thing to do is just ask. like... someone else said.

    I have terrible fashion sense and greasy hair, but my gaydar seems to work ok.

    bisexuals are wild cards how so?
