Should I stay with my possibly gay boyfriend?

Alicia said:

Trust your instinct. Your boyfriend is probably gay.

Reader Aureal Responds:

I disagree!

Um, hello? Why should she trust HER instinct on whether someone else is gay, when many people have trouble determining that about themselves? She certainly hasn't shown that great of an instinct on the matter so far.

She suspects him of being gay because he didn't want to go too far with lovemaking, he 'seems kind of feminine' and he wore rainbow shorts?

Give me a break.

Gay men acting effiminate is just a stereotype. It's no way to tell whether someone is gay or not. Rainbow shorts? He said that he thinks that gay stuff is nasty, so would he try and advertise himself as gay like that? Or maybe he just likes the way they look.

The physical affection part is really the only credible bit, but even that can easily be for some other reason. Maybe he actually has an ounce of sense and wants to wait before doing anything too serious.
