First rule of thumb: Understand that your mancrush might be some homophobe and, upon hearing your proposition to share a bottle of cab sav while staring up at the stars, beat the shit out of you. But hey, that’s just something G and B men have to deal with when asking dudes out, okay?
Onision here is a heterosexual man, but says he’s been asked out by guy-loving guys before. And while it didn’t make him “happy,” it wasn’t as awkward as it could have been! Instead, he let the fella “down easy” and offered to be his friend. Heh. ‘Cause we love that, don’t we?
But based on that experience, he’s got some personal wisdom for The Gays about asking other men out: “If I were gay, I would make sure that before I asked anyone out, I had some kind of trust with them. That I could open up to them, on various levels, without worrying about being hurt.” That is: Worrying about being gay bashed.
Not terrible advice, especially for Gs and Bs who might live in the more, let’s say, less tolerant areas where most gay guys are closeted, so you don’t know who’s playingn for your team. But it also ignores one little fact: Much of this “asking out” that goes on these days happens over Facebook, Grindr, and Manhunt — or, we’re told still happens, in person with somebody you already know to be gay, because you see this person at gay bars and talk about gay things and share a mutual friend who had gay sex with him.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

He gives good face. I would probably make a pass at him and blow it off when he shot me down. Not terrible advice either

It’s usually a good bet that it’s safe to ask someone out when they have flowing hair and mascara on. Not a good idea, but safe..

Should we be offering our praise to this guy for not beating up or killing the guy who asked him out? God forbid a guy who flips his hair like a girl might be viewed as a homosexual.

I thought Spiderman was gay. M.J. changed all that. Even Spidey’s loving aunt must have wondered, until M.J. changed all that. What’s a superhero to do?

Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spiderman.
Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He’s got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spiderman.
In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time.
Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Wealth and fame
He’s ingnored
Action is his reward.
To him, life is a great big bang up
Whenever there’s a hang up
You’ll find the Spider man.
Aaron

He has a totally different look in the video linked below, and he says some very positive things about Gay people.

Another Internet whore craving for attention. And ugly as hell.

For a “straight” guy, Gregory Onision seems to spend a *LOT* of time talking about gay issues.
I’m just saying….
