Woman worries her husband might be queer after he develops a lisp, parties naked on a boat with gays
actually up to when he tells you he’s going to go naked sailing with his gay friends?Okay, obviously we’re being a little facetious here, but there’s at least one woman out there who’s starting to think there’s something her hubby’s not telling her after seeing his photos from an all-nude seafaring trip he took with some gays.What’s a gal to do?In one of Slate magazine’s recent “Dear Prudence” advice columns, an anonymous woman writes in about her husband who *gasp* has a gay friend from high school.Take a seat, hon.Apparently, before they were married, he took a trip to visit said friend, spending time with him and other gay men.
At one point (it’s not clear if this occurred during the same trip) they even went sailing together, “where all of them stripped naked and drank beers.”Wait… where can we find friends like that?Anyway, the writer says she’s seen the pictures, so it doesn’t sound like her husband was necessarily hiding them from her, nor was he denying that naked boat party happened.But here’s where things get a little complicated.
The woman then precedes to list other reasons why she suspects her man might be gay, rattling off some rather old-school stereotypes: He’s “particular about his appearance and grooming,” and he even “recently started to lisp.” Lol, okay!She alleges she told a straight man all of this, and his take was that “no straight man would have” sailed naked with gays. (We don’t know why she’s trusting the opinion of another straight man, but that’s besides the point.)“Am I correct that he is probably at least bisexual?,” she asks, closing out her letter.In response, “Prudence”—a.k.a.
