An obviously gay man appears to be the only person in his circle of friends, acquaintances and family to have no inkling of his sexuality.Tom Booker, aged 26, believes he is just yet to meet a girl who has "the focus of Cher, the bravery of Madonna and the sheer sequinned fabulousness of Christina Aguilera."
He continued: “There just never seem to be any single women when I’m pursuing my interests, whether attending the ballet or doing Indonesian cookery courses. I’m putting myself out there!
“Occasionally I get a lady posting an admiring comment on my TikToks where I lip-sync to Britney Spears tracks, but I wouldn’t want to date a fan.
“I don’t get lonely – there’s always 'Drag Race' on telly – but I do get despondent sometimes, coming home from yet another date with a girl who for whatever reason just doesn’t turn me on and drowning my sorrows in bathtime Bellinis.
“Yes, I wish I had a life partner to take to the musical of 'The Devil Wears Prada' who could sympathise with my own struggles to enter the fashion industry. But I’m prepared to wait.”
Friend Joanna Kramer said: “We are thinking of locking him briefly in a closet to see if he gets it.”
Of course.
I did actually have a friend like that! My little group of friends were very bemused by it - but we let him be, and he eventually came out about 5 years later.

I worked with one - he was Head of HR, camp as old tits, married to a Max Factor rep, father of two kids. A couple of years after he left the organisation I saw him sat with a butch man in a gay bar in Islington. When I spoke to him he said he "didn't know he was gay when he worked there".

I hope those sweet summer children like that open their eyes one day, sweetpea, and find happiness (if not some fun)! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThey inevitably do - but some people really do take their time... Jx
DeleteWe are all different and that should not just be accepted but embraced but I say above all, to your own self be True.
