I am a minority. Male, white, straight, married to a woman and almost 82.
I am now a minority here in our apartment complex. "Hey Baby, how's it goin," "Buenos Dias" ... no hand shaking, all "high fives" or ......... knuckle tapping, and that hug, not a real hug, sort of a one arm chest tapping thing. I learned to do it years ago, in New Jersey, at my Son's studio when Eminem was doing a shoot, a "rapper" was on staff, and many rap groups visited the studio.
I would extend my hand, when meeting someone, they would stare at my hand, so I learned .... "the hug." I anticipated the hug when meeting Dido, but you hugging with women, just men.
I wonder if there is a "shrink" or a hypnotist who could start therapy on a person, to heal .... being straight. Having a "partner" is so "in" now days, I am almost, well, embarrassed to introduce Marilyn, as ......... "My wife."
I must admit, I do love women though, done my share to help statistics, have had four wives. I respect, admire, revere and am attracted to ........ women.
Sorry about that ........................
