Special Post: Serendipity!
This week, Jeb says, "For this assignment, write about your own serendipitous life. Document a few vicissitudes and demonstrate their consequences. ...blah blah blah 1000-1500 words." I revised an email I had lying about. Without further ado:

The misconception that a person can *look* gay leads to the tragedy of folks betraying their ignorance by acting on their presumptions. There are definitely many men who adopt similar styles of dress and hygiene who might identify these behaviors as a part of their "gayhood", but in no way do these men hold a monopoly on any of it. Because the shifting subtleties of identity are largely not even visible, I must conclude that "telling" much about a person's identity is impossible, whereas you describe your ability to "tell" people's habits and actions.
There are, of course, folks who would say that the very term "gay" describes actions, but further discernment between behaviors and identities is undeniably necessary and the distinction is an important one. Anything else I have to say on the matter will have to go into its own essay for Cartwheels, and should probably not be written at 0245hrs local time.
Just be you, friend, and let them fall on their faces as they will.
