Am I a European Gay Man Magnet?

So seriously... I have been reflecting on all the friends I've made here, and I've got to say they are absolutely wonderful. But there seems to be some kind of running theme amongst the boys. All of my eight closets guy friends are gay. Well, actually two of them are Bi, but still! Am I the Kathy Griffin of Europe? 

Is This My FATE!?!

I've always had gay friends in the United States, but only a relatively few. In Europe, I feel like I am the minority, since every European man I meet TURNS OUT TO BE GAY!! I've already told you all about the fiasco with my first attempt at boyfriend with someone who turned out to be homosexual. And tonight, I was with four of my gay friends and another straight girl friend Cassandra out at the bars. On the way home we meet a group of students drinking by a fountain and they invited us over to talk. Ben and I were talking to this one guy, and he was telling us a story (in french) about how his ex spent a year in Mexico and met a new Spanish lover who has since moved to Aix where he occasionally runs into them. Ben didn't understand the story, so I tried to translate. When I started to say his ex girlfriend went to Mexico he abruptly corrected me saying "MY EX BOYFRIEND". I should have seen it coming. From now on I will assume everyone is gay until proven straight.

But honestly, it is so hard here to tell! I never had a good gaydar, but in France, a lot guys look gay. Probably because of the way they dress. They are too fashionable. And so far, most of the evidence points to the same conclusion: maybe they are all gay!

But honestly, it's all good. I LOVE my gay guy friends, and being like Kathy Griffin wouldn't be so bad (I know she has a lot of haters but I think she is funny). And speaking of Comedians, I was blown away when I found out yesterday that Greg Giraldo died. I wasn't a real close follower of his, but I had seen some of his stand up and work on the Comedy Central roasts and thought he was really funny. Not to mention, he has been in the stand up game for a long time, and he made some big contributions. Rest in Peace, you knee slapper you.
