To turquoise70:
There are a large number of gay men who started out being bi and then got tired of the games a lot of women play and a lot of the bullshit that can happen with straight relationships, so they end up swearing off women. I personaly, never had an interest in women to begin with, but I have dated women before I came to terms with my homosexuality and I find straight relationships harder to keep going once they are started because ussualy neither party truly knows how the other is feeling on certain subjects of the relationship.

To Transition:
Tell them the truth about yourself be it gay or straight, and also you don't apreciate their jokes and if they don't stop still, your friends realy aren't much of friends and your co-workers are just douchbags
