How Comfortable would you Feel Around this Gay Guy?

So this post isn't intended to have anything to do with Billy Idol. From the 8:38 mark we see the host's co-worker in the audience single out a an audience member. I wouldn't mind the way he sounds, but I wouldn't be all that comfortable with him standing that close to me. Especially with that hand of his waving around. You'd know he's going to touch you with it at some point.

Now thankfully the hand seems to be touching his shoulder and not his chest (which is more personal). But I've watched it more closely, and you can see at 9:23 that he's poking him on the beats of the sentence. This would annoy me.

I'd feel defenceless in that position. The gay guy could basically start patting him on the chest and it would be hard for the guy to tell him to stop because it would kill the mood.

 

Should one reside in an urban area you will encounter all types; some in close proximity. Urbane individuals have coping mechanisms for proximate encounters. Associates will express comradrire in different styles and we will want to support varied methods of communication & expression.
We develop strong attachments to those affiliated together in various ventures and will support , and cherish eclectic styles.

 

Dude, that reads like it's AI.

 

My Friend I'm real but can affect this style.

 

I mean, say something. Would you be comfortable here? Are you urban? Do you have coping mechanisms?

People will express comaradirie in different ways. Oh really, I'd never have thought.

 

Why are you making mountains outta mole hills for something that doesn't even affect you in any way?

 

So you're thinking the gay guy is flirting with the audience member due to his mannerisms, and if it happened to you, you'd be offended?

So if it was a straight macho guy doing the same thing (maybe a little rougher?), you'd be perfectly fine with it?

Okay..
Now what would be your reaction to a woman doing the same things he did?

 

Deemed, we are friends here sorry to have seemed cold.

 

I was not implying that he was flirting with him. The purpose of the thread is to ask how to politely set a boundary in such circumstances regardless of whether the person doing it is gay or straight. Now that u mention it, I'd reckon a straight guy would be more likely to know and respect such boundaries.

My reaction would be the same with a woman, even if I thought she was attractive... because I don't view such behaviour as flirting. Do you?

 

Well obviously, but this is America!

 

Well at least you've stopped talking out your arse!

 

Then why did you even mention in the title he was gay if that was not the point. You could've just as easily and less apparently homophobic said "this guy" and left it at that.

 

Yeah, but the white Americans kept a more British culture. They wouldn't be as touchy as Italians for example. They'd be more British like as regards how much they touch each other.
