For some of us, everytime we visit the family there’s some relative who’ll fire off a few well-meaning but utterly ridiculous questions about why we’re gay and how do we know for sure or what term are they supposed to use to describe us. You know, questions of the “maybe you just haven’t met the right girl” variety. Weblebrity Davey Wavey decided to turn the tables on some very accommodating (and sometimes very perplexed) hetero dudes by quizzing them with the same queries we’re all tired of hearing.
Watch the fun unfold below.

Oh brother… more straight surveys… the queerty editors straight obsession continues.
Stephen Mervine
There’s nothing straight about that boy in the black and white shirt.

Where are the rest of both Davey’s and Riyadh’s shirts?
No one in my family asks these sorts of questions but 1) everyone on my mother’s side is dead 2) I don’t really deal with my dad’s huge, extended family (Mexican and Costa Rican) because I don’t like loud noise and they just all seem to be in each other’s business.
I’ve only met my mother-in-law a couple of times and she’s harmless and two sisters-in-law…Mr. Glücklich deals with them because I can’t handle “messy.”

Oh my God genius!!!

Davey Wavey is usually annoying; but this turnaround was clever. I realize that to even agree to be asked these questions sort of puts you on our side, but the respondents’ looks of being increasingly perplexed are amusing. Well done, says I.

Great idea — ask an older generation these same questions.

Duane Jackson

First video of his that was worth watching or has value.

Has anyone actually ever been asked any of this sort of question by well-meaning family? Not out of malice but out of genuine curiosity, i.e. they don’t care about your being gay but have questions.
Oddly I’ve only ever been asked questions in this vein by people I worked with way back in circa 1999/2000. No malice intended. I know lots of people hate the idea but I consider some coworkers to be my extended family.

Straight guys are hot.

Refreshing that they all seemed open minded about it.
Maude
so what.

@Glücklich:
I’ve been asked this sort of thing, almost exclusively by sexual partners, mostly female. I’ve never found it annoying or offensive. Interestingly, this kind of conversation has been very common postcoital, and asked in a way as a means to get closer to me, to better understand me. I’ve had a few family members attempt to needle me (many years ago) with questions, but I put an abrupt end to that, because I could see they were trying to undermine me.

Two of those guys were not straight… the guy in black in white and other in grey shirt definitely have had same sex experiences…
