You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com.

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.

Are you gay?

That's one of those questions, and there aren't many out there like it, but it's one of those questions that a refusal to answer that direct question is to effectively answer that direct question.

Because if you ask somebody if they're gay and they refuse to answer the question, well, no straight person has ever refused to answer that direct question. Because if you ask somebody if they're gay and they refuse

to answer the question, well, no straight person has ever refused to answer that question ever.

Straight people wouldn't hesitate to answer that question. It would occur to them not to answer

the question. I'm straight. No, I'm not gay. So when you ask somebody, are you gay? And they say,

I'm not going to answer that question or that's a rude question or I don't believe in labels.

They've also effectively answered the question in the affirmative.

Yes, they're gay.

Only a gay person, closeted gay person or a gay person who doesn't want to be out to you,

has ever answered, are you gay with, I'm not going to answer that question.

No straight person has ever answered that way. So are you gay? Ref I'm not going to answer that question. No straight person has ever answered

that way. So are you gay? refusal to answer is to kind of double backflip, answer it. Bank

shot answer. And the answer is yes. I was thinking about that are you gay question. Mike Pence was

being interviewed by George Stephanopoulos on this week, on ABC over the weekend, about

Indiana's new religious freedom bill that Mike Pence signed into law at a signing ceremony

surrounded by monks and nuns and right-wing anti-gay religious psychotic bigots.

People who've argued that gay people don't have a right to exist, much less a right to buy a

fucking cupcake in a Walmart.
