Welcome to questions from the closet. I'm Charlie Byrd and I'm Ben Shalady. Each episode we discuss the question that we commonly get asked as LGBTQ audience.

We are not trying to answer this question or come to a consensus but simply sharing

our perspectives. Today's question is what is opposite sex dating like?

So Ben and I are not terribly diverse and we share many opinions and life experiences.

For example, we have a friend named Deb who wanted to date both of us,

even though she knows we're both gay.

However, there's some pretty big differences.

For example, Deb tried to kiss me and she never tried to kiss Charlie.

We would like to provide a variety of voices and perspectives,

so today we're joined by Deb Hutchinson

herself. Hello boys. So does to truly try to kiss me? Well you're always

chicken out. I know it's true we get at this moment where we're like bluffing but then it never happens

you're bluffing well yeah so you would have gone through with it so you would have

kissed Ben well it's too late yeah

and that's done now could you tell us about how you are Almost too late. Yeah. Yeah.

Dev, could you tell us about how you identify?

Because I feel like the listeners are confused.

Well, I would say I identify as gay.

I could also qualify as lesbian lesbian like maybe a tiny amount of bisexual. I used to identify

more as more bisexual or like more towards the middle of both men and women but not anymore it's kind of shifted clearly it has become more and more clear

that I'm attracted to women yeah it kind of takes a while to figure out sometimes.

Yeah, and I always felt like you liked the idea of me, but if we'd actually dated you would have painted it.
