 #6. Give Generic Lies To Your Co-Workers.

A common giveaway that a handsome, educated black man in the office is gay is the recycling of unoriginal lies he tells at work. If you want to make your co-workers forever suspicious and whispering about you in the break room, say things like: “I have a girlfriend but she’s always out of town.” And my favorite: “Why don’t I have a wife? I’m just really busy focusing on my career right now, no time for dating.”

 #7. Don’t Take the Flyers Off of Your Car
After a Night of Gay Clubbing

Let everyone in your apartment building know you prefer man-meat by leaving those sexually suggestive gay club flyers all over your car after hanging with your “arc” of fabulous friends. Once plump Ms. Johnson sees the muscled, oiled up model on the Gay flyer for Masculine Wednesdays under your windshield wiper, she will no longer annoyingly try to set you up with her single daughter.

 #8. Don’t Turn Off Gay GPS Apps Like
Jack’d and Grindr

GPS makes it so much easier to be a masculine gay man and tell the boys that you’re “family” without having to say the words at all. From grocery stores to your favorite gym, Grindr, Jack’d and A4A literally calls out all the gay men near you like a dinner bell. In the past, I’ve gone to several “heterosexual” Day Parties, pulled out my cell phone, loaded up Jack’d and felt like I was in this motion tracker scene from Aliens:

 

# 9. Keep Half Naked Photos of
Other Men in your Cell Phone

Imagine being a masculine gay man chilling with a woman that has a crush on you…yet you don’t know how to properly tell her that you both catch for the same team. Just pull out your cell phone to show her photos from your recent trip to Miami during Memorial Day weekend. Once she scrolls past pic after pic of you posing with six-pack abbed men (and paw-print/star tattoos), she’ll know what’s up. Still have those nude pics that last night’s hookup sent you? Place them at the end of the slideshow to really hit the point home!

 #10. Do porn

I can’t tell you how many times, as a gay man living in Atlanta, I’ve seen men in public that looked vaguely familiar only to soon remember that I’d seen their “work” before. If you’re a gay man in a city full of other gay men and you’ve done porn, you feel those eyes on you no matter where you are. Hell, you don’t even need to be in a gay city for people to discover your porn past. ADTV’s Metrell Hurst said in an interview that he was long retired from his brief porn career when a messy jilted queen outed him to his superiors, getting him kicked out of the military. So it appears that a sure fire way to tell the world you’re gay is to have gay sex on camera.
