Wow. To think that this was written because some people must actually react this way.

Ten Tips For Heterosexuals Upon Meeting a Homosexual for the First Time

1. Do not run screaming from the room. This is rude.
2. If you must back away, do so slowly and with discretion.
3. Do not assume he/she is attracted to you.
4. Do not assume he/she is not attracted to you.
5. Do not expect him/her to be as excited about meeting a
heterosexual as you may be about meeting a homosexual. He/she
was probably raised with straight people.
6. Do not immediately start talking about your boy/girlfriend or
husband/wife in order to make it clear that you are straight --
he/she probably already knows.
7. Do not ask him/her how he/she got that way. Instead ask yourself
how you got the way you are.
8. Do not assume he/she is dying to talk about being homosexual.
9. Do not expect him/her to refrain from talking about being
homosexual.
10. Do not trivialize his/her experience by assuming it is a bedroom
issue only. He/she is homosexual 24 hours a day.

I've actually met a guy who assumes that every gay guy is attracted to him. Ha. He wishes. :)

It is sad that somebody must have acted a certain way for that list to be made. Although to the people who wouldn't act that way it's a funny list.

That list was posted on a big poster in the main lobby of my dorm last year.

I was amused.

I know people who, if they meet a gay girl, think she's trying to check them out all the time. I don't think I've ever actually seen anyone run screaming from the room though. :)

The list is funny, but i met someone like that only yesterday. He kept making a point of saying he was striaght about every 2 mins (methinks he doth protest to much).

4. Do not assume he/she is not attracted to you.

I assume that. But I assume that of heterosexuals, too. I just play the odds.

Or I'm just clueless. Take your pick.
