Reply #19: What is the best way to ask someone if they are straight?

[begin_within]

I'm asking this question because I'm pretty sure that my new roommate is straight. I really don't care if he is straight or gay, but I think he is straight and is going out of his way to be really secretive about it because he doesn't know how I will react. This is causing him some serious inconvenience. (like having to schedule people over when i'm not around, etc) None of this is necessary, because I don't give a shit.

But if it turns out he actually isn't straight, he might be really offended if I confront him about it. (some people would be)
Basically I want to tell him I'm cool with whatever he is doing, and that he doesn't need to be secretive about it.

(that make sense?)
