I recently learnt of the airport game ‘Fag or Foreigner’ in which an American waiting to board a flight will look around at their fellow passengers and guess if they are gay or from another country.

In England I was a tall slightly masculine man but in America I am a short effeminate man. Does this mean I constantly get Americans trying to work out if I am gay or British?

In a way this is find of freeing, I could never look manly compared to an American football player or someone in the armed forces or, say, a shoes salesman…. Seriously I will always be judges as the least manly of all.

This is kind of freeing. It doesn’t matter what I do I will always look gay so might as well go with it. Back home it wasn’t proper for a man to cross his legs no matter how comfortable it is. It’s for ladies and don’t you dare do it. In America how I am standing, eating, using my phone – it’s all gay so why not enjoy the comforts of crossed legs.

Ahhh, it’s almost a luxury.
