Dpn't worry, it's an honest mistake.
just answer "Hi I'm straight"
win
@20: And SDI (she deserved it) for getting offended when she should have known how it would sound. No fault of yours, OP.
but shouldn't she realize how odd it might be to ppl introducing herself that way?
34 = complete epic win
How can this be justified? How can a female be gay? OP, think before you speak
how can a female be gay? it's called a lesbian idiot
@madarchod and random210 Gay- (in addition to meaning happy and all that) is defined as homosexual. homosexual- 1. of, pertaining to, or exhibiting homosexuality. 2. of, pertaining to, or noting the same sex.
or just reply with "hi I'm sexual orientation" I'm sure no one will misunderstand that...
ILuvToFu2 FTW!
It wouldn't post the second half of my comment. I was just trying to say that gay is technically usable for both men and women. It is just that most people choose to think of gay as applying to only men.
that ******* sux
#120 - Gay = Homosexual and Homosexual = involving sexual intercourse between persons of the same sex. Now two men can have sexual intercourse which is defined as an act of penetration, but two women cannot do that (unless they do with artificial means). This conclusively proves that women cannnot be gay, so English language coined another word to refer to them.
#159 - Please let me know when you plan to explain your theory to a room full of gay women, so I can be there to film them beating you.
#162 - You realize that it is a hypothetical situation and I believe in realism. So get out of your dream world.
@159, you're a *******
159-I'm a gay woman and you couldn't be more wrong
I would say "How gay could it be? What is it?" Yeah, I am that socially awkward.
That's awsome
Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
Show it anywayWell, people now are pretty open about their gayness and someone with a name like Gaye is a prime target for insults.
At least remember to wipe off your chin. Rude, much?
who would name their child that? Ha-ha
Morons. Morons would name their children that.
it's probably her last name. you can't exactly choose it.
yeah some people come up with weird names. who was the first person to name their son Dick?
Considering gay originally meant 'happy/joyful' it's really not that weird of a name for a person to have.
I can't think of anyone who actually just named their kid Dick. It's usually a nickname for people with the name Richard. The real question is why would someone choose to go by a nickname that is not only slang for penis but is also an insult?
"dick" is short for richard
Ashley still is unisex isn't it?
it is soo her parents fault. they should THINK before naming their kids names that sound awkward
uhm. my gram's name is gaynelle. it was popular then.
Theres many more names as well as Courtney, Corey, Sandy, etc.. Though I wouldn't think my name is very unisex. I've seen it happen though. :)
You'd think someone named Gaye would be used to that reaction by now, and would introduce herself as "Gaye Smith", or "My name is Gaye. "
I agree with you.
Yeah, I agree. Someone named 'Gaye' really should be prepared for this reaction. It's like automatically spelling your name when it's unusual. Firstly, she should be expecting it and word things accordingly, and secondly, she shouldn't be offended at a reaction I'll bet she's had a thousand times before. To be honest though, it's her last name, Sparklyvampire, that causes her the most problems...
^win
epic win^^^
IKR?!?! FYL OP, she was ******' begging for it.
I agree with you... OP, it is not totally your fault, and she should not hold it against you. I hope you did not have the list of your interviewees beforehand, in which case YDI. I have known people with such names change the pronunciation so that it does not seem to be as confusing. Ms.Gaye could have pronounced her name with the "a" sounding like "Arbor" in "Ann Arbor" and the "e" in the end pronounced. It could have reduced the imminent confusion.
damn. such an epic name! lol she's probably used to that lol
I do.
No, men call women lesbians. Women will refer to themselves as gay.
At least now you're a memorable candidate. That only works in your favor if she's got a sense of humor though. Good luck!
Lmao the kid next to me thinks I am a weirdo.
I'm that kid

I would've been confused too OP.
