Straight gone gay
I confronted a direct man on Grindr – his reaction floored me
Less than an hour before a hookup, I was hit with that most dreaded of texts: ‘Sorry but I can’t reach today.’
Wanting to give the benefit of the uncertainty, I replied asking if he wanted to rearrange. Only, this time, my message went undelivered.
There was no mistaking what that meant – I’d been blocked.
I had met 32-year-old Jimmy* on Grindr, and we had spent half of the night exchanging nudes and compliments.
He told me he was just looking for a casual hookup early on into our conversation, so while I never expected much to come from gathering him, it still stung to realise I was just his 3am bit of fun.
Then again, I suppose I should possess seen it coming. He did tell me he was straight, after all.
Finding a straight man on a gay dating app is like spotting a cloud in the sky these days – they’re everywhere. In fact, to a certain extent, it feels like our platforms have been infested by them.
But what, I overhear you ask, are heterosexual men doing on these platforms? Why go through these interactions if there’s nothing to gain?
The uncomplicated answer: They’re in it for the ego boost.
Long-suffering Spectator readers justify a seasonal crack from yet another Remoaner diatribe from me. My last on this page, making the outrageous suggestion that the populace may sometimes be wrong, is now being brandished by online Leaver-readers of my Times column as proof that I am in fact a fascist; so there isn’t anywhere much to go from there.
Instead, I shift to sex. There is little period left for me to write about sex as the thoughts of a septuagenarian on this subject (I shift 70 this year) may soon get together only a shudder. But I contain a theory which I have the audacity to ponder important.
What follows is not written here for the first time, and much of it is neither original nor new; but on very few subjects have I ever been more sure I’m right, or more sure that future generations will see so, and wonder that it stared us in the face yet was not established. My firm creed is that in trying to categorise sex, sexuality and — yes — even gender, the late 19th, 20th and early 21st centuries have taken the medical and social sciences down a massive blind alley. No such categories exist. And it has been particularly sad in 2018 to spot the ‘tran

Phil:Dude, I've been out for years. Sue never mentioned it to you?
Steve:But how? You're the biggest fratboy dudebro I've ever met. You say things enjoy "broseph" and "chillax", you're crude, you're FAT! How can you be gay? — Cheer Up Emo Kid
Originally treated as a subversion of the accepted gay stereotypes, the Straight Gay is a homosexual male or female nature who has no camp mannerisms, Butch Lesbian tendencies, or obviously "gay" affectations.
In the earliest cases, Straight Gays were mostly there for farcical reasons: perhaps as a misunderstanding in which a straight nature ends up unwittingly inviting himself out on a "date" with a 'stealthy' gay man, or in which a homophobic character espouses his views to a stranger, only to find out that the person he's talking to is gay.
