I have debated about putting this chapter of my life on here, Also its strange thats my first entry. The more I think about it this part of my life has shaped me who I am as a person more than anything else. With that said I will explain about the title when I was younger 19 thru my early 20's I hung out with allot of gay people and this is the phrase they coined for me. Since I was not a straight Female I was not a Fa gHag, And at the time there was no phrase for a straight man who hung out with gays. So they coined me a Fruit Fly. So here it goes, Hope you enjoy and learn something.

It was November of 1995 I had just gotten back from The Air Force where I had done 2 years and had just had a bad break-up. I needed a job so I got one as X-mas help at a local Toy Store in the mall. I was your typical 19 year old I thought I knew everything and was hard too get along with. So mainly I was a hard ass at work and no one really liked me. I did not care as I have never really cared for people anyway. I always lived in the boonies as a kid and there was never really any other kids around. Well there was a big guy about 350lbs that worked there named Chris he was a few years older than me and was really out going. I had No Idea he was gay, Since I was never around gay people I did not know how they acted or could tell who one was. As the typical smartass I made jokes about his weight and what not and we picked on each other.

Well me and him stoped picking on each other and started picking on everyone else and where getting along very well. Well I kept asking him what he was doing on Weekends since he was over 21 I figured he could get me some beer. He always said he was going to parties and I would say mind if I come and he would say I doubt its your type of party. I had no clue what he meant by this just figured he was blowing me off. Well I kept at him and he finally said ok that I could go to a party with him, With the words when we get there don't say I did not warn you.

Well on the way to the party is when he told me he was gay, To my suprise I did not go off about it. I did not think anything of it. I was suprised that I had this reaction because my parents always told me Gay people where bad. I decided to still go to the party and have an open mind. Well we get to the party and in the back of my mind I'm thinking of all those old 80's sterotypes that I had seen in Movies like Police Academy and what not. I thought I would see guy clad in leather wearing those hats whiping everyone around him. Well to my suprise they all looked just like me well better dressed of course. Well I could tell they thought I was fresh meat but Chris stepped up and explained I was his friend and I was straight. This was the begining of My Life as a Fruit Fly.

They accepted me with no questions asked and sure thru these years of my life I had passes made at me, But always when they found out I was straight they always backed off and wanted to be my friend. I dated allot of women during this period of time mostly Fa gHags, These are women allot of them great looking who have a thing for a gay man I meant allot of them and slept with allot of them. Best part was in the gay bar world there was not much competion for me expcept the lesibans lol. Well anyway I found out Chris was a drag queen and he introduced me to allot of Drag Queens. Its almost like from 1996 to 1999 my life was a non stop party and I was the center of it all the time.

The most I got from my life in the "gay world" was that there just like us. They want everything a normal straight person wants and most of them do not want to be treated like there different or special. Sure there are those who act like you see on TV But there few and far between. I do not regret anything from that time in my life I learned allot about the world and the people in it. No I neve slept with a man and I'm married now to a great women.

I just felt like I needed too write this down some where I mean at least the gist of it. I could tell stories for days of things and people I meant. People none of you would ever belive are gay. But I will leave that for a book or something maybe I just hope someone that reads this understand gay people are not evil and that we can all get along.
