[Roderick Usher]

I get hit on all the time. It's usually just something I laugh at, but sometimes the pursuers can be a bit aggressive and that's when it's no longer cool. Some people just won't leave me alone even when I say that I'm into the ladies.

It was really obnoxious when I was bartending in Hollywood. Gay men are, across the board, the best tippers on the planet, so I never said boo about my sexuality at work unless someone flat-out asked me. I'd usually just say "sorry, I'm taken" and leave them guessing. But when they start grabbing ass and not taking no for an answer (drunk male behavior regardless of sexuality) I've been know to get a little mean - and then people have the gaul to call me homophobic.

I've worked on Broadway in musical theater and I used to live around Dupont Circle in Washington D.C. - so I've been up to my neck in gay for a long time and I guess my acceptance of it has reached such a level that I give off a gay vibe... at least to the men who are looking to score.

And I'm not quite certain, but one of my sons is has been giving some pretty strong gay indicators, which is going to be really wierd and funny to watch unfold. Puberty is an awkward time for anyone. I'm sure his will be particularly entertaining to observe.
