Bad conversation that can get even worse pretty quick.

When I say obnoxious gay person, I'm referring to a person who is the "we're queer and we are here" type of person. When the only thing you want to talk about is being gay, that's over the top. I want to talk to a person interested in sports, cars, and manga/anime. Can we talk about sex, sometimes, until it reaches the point in which you talked about.

I literally worked with a guy, and his first statement to you if he didn't know you was "I'm gay, does that bother you?" Maybe I'm old-fashioned in wanting to know a person's name first. But once you got to know the guy (he was an asshole by the way, he proudly admits to it), he was one of the guys. But he was also the type to have the "sex" talks in which most guys left the conversation group as well. Only women wanted to hear it (I made this assumption, because they were the ones who stayed and listened to him).
