The question I get asked regularly is if I have sex with or on my washers. I would never even think of mixing my sexuality with any figure other then a male human being.
Do you get asked this question like I do?

After I came out to my parents when i was 18, my mom told my grandmother(who still to this day can not except me) that she said, "I figured, he likes antiques." I still haven't figured out what the relation to me liking antiques and me being gay is. Oh well.

Oh and if a straight man asks you this question, as many have asked me....."Have you ever been with a woman?" To which I reply No, then they ask, "Then how do you know you won't like it?" I then reply with...."Have you ever been with a man? No? Then how do you know you won't like it?" That usually shuts them up and makes them think lol. Or once in a while they'll say "Because I'm not into guys and wouldn't want to try" I then say "Exactly" then add a wink at the end. They usually get it then.

When you live byond the range of boring normal,
the average shmoe cannot relate to you. The average being that guy or gal that lives in Walmart and eats, drinks, drives dresses, watches and listens according to what the rest of the herd is doing at the moment. When you do something that places you outside their comfort zone, the reaction is that you're somehow stupid, crazy or gay, which covers both. Perhaps part of the gay question comes from the foolish belief that magical good taste and fashion sense comes with gayness like a secret handshake and decoder ring. Beats me.
I get all sorts of static from people for not following fashion or trend and generally being strange in their view. I'm into vintage. Vintage appliances, motorcycles, architecture, automobiles, music, movies, etc. I shave with a 50 year old Gillette TTO. I have cats. I hate sports and sports bars and 99% of what's on the tube. I'm sitting here typing with a mug of stout, and my .45 Sig Sauer, listening to Johnny Mercer on XM. I may be different, even weird, but I'm straight as a grizzly bear's gadoots and I've had idiots ask me the same thing before. Dude are you gay? It always catches me off guard......then I tell them "choose your next words very carefully".
Gets my blood up just thinking about it!

right now, I have to get ready for an extention class I'm taking on Wednesday evenings. However, this is an interesting topic!

I am very sure that not everyone that is interested in washers, dryers, dishwashers and vacuums is gay. If that was the case then any man that was involved in the design or patent of a washer, dishwasher...ect would be gay. All anyone has to do is look at many of the posts on this site and see that members are discussing the restoration of vintage machines or issues with current stock. This is hard work and it is in most cases mechanical. And what of women who are involved in this technology field? For the older machines it is about how previous technology was used. For the new machines it is about how new technologies are developed and used.
This question has more to do the the limited experience and scope of the person asking, than anything else.

Once in a while
I always answer with the same response that stops them dead in their tracks. "Why, are you interested...well I am NOT".Shuts them up every time. Its nobodys business who is gay or straight or whatever. What happens behind closed doors are their business, not the whole worlds

And yes,
Who should care about preferences as long as they are a good person. Which I have found all you people here are.
