| I found myself viewing a person differently now that I don't think he's gay | |

I always assumed that ex politician Michael Portillo was gay. Earlier I discovered that he wasn't. Now I find myself looking at him in a different way. It's a prejudice that I didn't know I had. I'm not sure why because I don't hold any malice towards homosexuals. Obviously some part of me is generalising about homosexuals in one way or another. Something that I obviously need to get over very quickly. Of course we all hold prejudices when we look at ourselves enough but this is not something I'm proud of. |

I think we are all a bit surprised when we find out people we thought were straight, are gay, and vice versa. You might have thought he was gay, possibly due to gay stereotypes, but I don't know if he fills any as i don't know who he is. I have a few friends who have told me that they were gay, and it surprised me, mainly because you know these guys for so long, you think you have them all figured out. Can't say I know anyone personally that I thought was gay and was straight, tho. So yeah. I think we are all surprised at stuff like this because we think we know these ppl. |

I'm so stupid. The only conclusion I had that he was gay were his colourful shirts and some of his mannerisms. From that I made an assumption about his character. Now I know the opposite, my assumption has changed and is probably equally incorrect. |

Well you're generalising about straight people by assuming they don't wear colourful clothing, or have certain mannerisms. It's no different. It's really a non-issue anyway unless you truly think less of a person because of their sexual preference - which clearly is not the case.

No but I should still be better than this as a person. Making a pointless assumption about someone because of something which barely has anything to do with being homosexual is not wise and I did just that with this man. The fact that my perception of him changed after I found out the truth is equally as stupid. |
