Meet Peter White, a stand-up comedian who just effortlessly dismantled homophobia and demonstrated how it just makes no sense.

Here’s a taste of his logic:
“If you’re a straight man and you go to a gay bar, if you stay long enough, eventually a guy will approach you… I mean, that’s just how men work: we hit on whoever’s around, doesn’t matter, gay or straight… And I remember the first time it happened to me and I was not ready for it: I was in a gay bar and this guy came up to me and he was like, ‘Hey man, first off, don’t worry — I know you’re not gay, so don’t worry… but I was just thinking, we’re out, we’re having a good time, why don’t I buy you a couple of shots, y’know, maybe we go down to the bathroom, maybe, I don’t know, I show you a good time, and then we go our separate directions — you’ll never have to see me again.’
And I was like: Oh my God, that’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me! For real? You’re gonna buy me shots first? What is this, my birthday? That’s amazing! Oh my God. Is this what being gay is? ‘Cuz this is super cool…”
Watch:
How about we take this to the next level?

THE HEADLINE could be improved, given Harvey Weinstein and Bill Clinton and Jerry Jones and Bill Cosby, and that French guy and everything by including this: “and why straight men should say nothing to women on the street that they wouldn’t want to be said to them in prison” !
Kieran
I know the guy probably meant well, but the subliminal message left with that audience was that gay sex is something you do “in the bathroom” and in prison.

^ This is why edgy comedy or even slightly edgy / vanilla comedy is dead because of responses like this. People can’t take a joke without getting offended
If George Carlin was still around, he’d be shut down by the PC / SJW police

Men have this unhealthy obsession with sexual identity politics. Gay, straight, this, that….it’s sad. The gay community is partly to blame.
In the old days, men were just men. You could pick up a man anywhere. It was more liberated in that sense. Today, we have these very strict rules that dictate when and where you can go, and what you can do. Acceptance within strict boundaries only is what we now have.
It is the ultimate demonstration of the restrictive nature of modern liberalism that it created harsher rules for male sexuality than have ever existed before.
Don’t under-estimate the role of anti-male feminists in this too.

“In the old days, men were just men. You could pick up a man anywhere.”
You could get arrested and/or beat up anywhere too!

The only one obsessed with sexual identity is you since you bring up straight women in every post.

OMG how did you get that from reading that article Jaxton? You seem to have an agenda and are determined to twist every article on this site to the point of ridiculousness in order to allow you to bring up your favourite topic.

Jeez. Lighten up. I thought he was funny.

I write again, I don’t care if someone is gay or straight, I care whether they want to have sex with me. If they don’t, the “why” doesn’t really matter.

‘Hey man, first off, don’t worry — I know you’re not gay, so don’t worry… but I was just thinking, we’re out, we’re having a good time, why don’t I buy you a couple of shots, y’know, maybe we go down to the bathroom, maybe, I don’t know, I show you a good time, and then we go our separate directions — you’ll never have to see me again.’
Yeah that didn’t happen — not with THAT hair
Heywood Jablowme
“I know you’re not gay, so don’t worry…” Well, THAT part totally makes sense, of course the haircut gives it away!
What I don’t get is how he just happened to wander into a gay bar in the first place.
Not only that, but it’s such a sleazy gay bar that bathroom bj’s are allowed and expected? Did he time travel to the 1970s? Oh I know it still happens in a few places like New Orleans, and maybe Chicago and Montreal, but where exactly WAS this?
Harriman
No, that is not what being gay is about. I have never offered to buy a guy shots, blow him in a bathroom and disappear. If you think this destroys homophobia, then you are an idiot.
Kieran
Well said. I wish queerty had a like feature.

Back in the 1960’s guys would use the bathroom not only in gay bars, but at movie theaters. We used to joke and say – “My dear, are you a tea room queen?”. :>)
