A post by Joe today reminded me of a situation I think about fairly often, considering it occurred a good 15 years ago.
Picture it... Isla Vista, circa 1992:
A group of four or five collegiate gay boys are walking one evening toward the main drag of a university neighborhood that's often incorrectly referred to as "the most densely populated square mile west of The Mississippi". On the way, they pass a group of four or five African American University Women walking in the opposite direction.
AA Woman #1 (soon after her group passes the gay boys): Mmmmmmm, any of y'all wanna have jungle fever with us?
Gay Boy (possibly someone writing this blog): Sorry, you're the wrong sex.
AA Woman #2 (heard as they recede into the distance): Oooooooh! You hear what he said?! He said, "You the wronnnnng sex."
AA Woman #1: Say what?! Oooh, you gay, boy?

Funny how that never happens to me. ;)
something very similar happened to me last year in Jamaica. A car load of ladies slowed down and tried to pick up me and another gay friend. When we declined - we got:
"What are you - GAY!"
We we had to wait until their car was out of view until we burst into laughter...
i used to work with a whole bunch of AA women. that's the thing i miss most about working for myself. they were beyond fabulous.
