How can you tell if someone is gay?

How Can You Tell If A Person Is Gay?

• Ask him or her. Apart from that, there is no sure way to find out somebodies sexuality. Some gay people do 'act gay,' but so do some straight people have effeminate behavior and many gay people don't 'act gay,' just as most straight people don't.

• I think you can tell if people are gay. If a lesbian girl walks up to a straight girl and gets close and feels on her you can tell or if a boy winks at another boy and waves they're gay, but only if the guy that winked is a complete stranger because family members, like the cousin, can wink at each other and you can't completely tell if he or she is gay!

• You can't be sure and only the individual knows if he or she is gay. If a person decides to tell you they are gay, then you will know for sure. Otherwise, it's none of your business.

• Well, for a guy they have feminine traits. For a women they are sometimes butch. Now you can't tell all people are gay by these things, just some. Others are right next to you on the bus and others in the doctors office or even the doctor. Don't be afraid. They are just like you and me, they just love someone just like them which come to think of it we do that, too.

• Some gays/girls flaunt it and some don't so it would be very hard at times to tell if a person is gay. It's also not fair to the other person to ask if they are gay and you pretty much have to wait until they volunteer that information. Some guys that are gay come from all walks of life and can be muscular, rough and tough looking, while some gay men can be very effeminate. Women that are gay can be considered beautiful, feminine, but still can be gay and some women will act like a guy (often referred to as a Butch). Does it really matter!

• If you are in a relationship and are wondering then the person may be bisexual. Then if this is a concern to you ask, but be warned, if the person isn't gay or bisexual this remark could end your relationship.

• I know how this one guy is gay because he tries to talk like a girl all the time, he gets a little too close to other guys, he hates girls, he wears rainbow colors, and he puts mascara on his eyelashes.

• Well, you might recognize a lesbian by her behavior, clothing, and/or grooming. If a woman looks a lot like a man---man's hair style, mannish clothing---or if she walks and talks like a man or seems romantically attracted to other women, she may well be a lesbian (aka: Butch). If she displays none of these signs, she may still be a lesbian, but there is no way to know unless she tells you. You don't always know, sometimes they hide it or they don't act like the stereo type gay. Some gay guys act feminine, for example talking in a high pitched voice or wearing feminine clothing. Some guys can also seem gay, but they aren't. It can be confusing at times. The best way to know for sure is wait until they tell you.
