Noes for dayyyz <| sep |> Did Houston and Memphis get the memo ? The Big 12 decided NOT to expand . Should we tell em ? <| sep |> Good thing that wasn ' t the point <| sep |> They actually got something right . clap clap clap <| sep |> I never told my dad before he dies . He went to his grave believing I was straight , or maybe gay , but since I never dated and am still a virgin and very open about sex his brain probably defaulted to straight . After my dads death I told my mother , when the time was right . I explained it rather delicately and , though I doubt she actually understands deep down , we have had periodic sex talks through the years and this was consistent . It just put the word asexual as a descriptor on what I ' d been telling her for decades , anyway . Friends . nobody cared . I had a couple who expressed some concern , equating Asexuality with male sexual dysfunction . A few extra sentences of explanation stopped that . The only ones who had issues with it were my gay friends . They were , by far , the least accepting . And since I expected that , anyway , it was no big deal . I don ' t go around wearing a pride tee shirt . I don ' t advertise the fact that I ' m ace , though with the ring and my Facebook profile pic I do give hints for those who are observant . And informed . It ' s just a non issue . Coming out isn ' t a big deal .
