In response to the queries (a pun was SO tempting on that one):

1) If approached by a gay, how would I react? Well, I was my freshman year,
   and I nearly threw up. I've had a very strong negative attitude toward the
   mere idea of it for a long time. My thoughts, in a campus where gays are
   always advertising their activities on posted flyers on the walls and
   everywhere, is that I don't care what 'they' do with whom -- I don't want
   to have to be subjected to the advertising and the probing eyes from the
   booths at their bake sales, etc. Let them live in peace, but don't bother
   me with it all! (flame off)

2) When somebody asks about dinner? Well, after hearing the supposed ratios
   of gay/straight for here (supposedly about 1 in 10 are gay) and those in
   our CS dept (supposedly 1 in 5), I have come to suspect everybody. But
   I only keep on guard if I'm not sure, and keep an eye out for the signals
   of it. I mean, why bother being paranoid when chances are you'll find out
   either way anyway.

BTW, another excuse I have for my violently negative attitude stems from the
belief that it is religiously wrong. Also, I figure that if nature had
intended for folks to be homo rather than hetero, it would have made it a
'productive' state (read "self-sustaining").

(Offended? Tough snots -- I already said I don't want to hear about it...)
