misconceptions
forsythia12:
i can't remember where i saw or read this interview.......maybe oprah? anyways, jake g. said after the movie people were coming up to him saying "wow....in the movie, you were like 'the woman' of the relationship, and heath was like the man"....and jake said, "when i heard that, i was like what are you talking about?" (or,in other words, WTF?)
so, i'm asking my fellow brokies what's the biggest misconception, or most off the wall thing someone has ever said to you, or thought about you, regarding your sexuality, your beliefs, your personality, your sexual orientation, your race, your disorder, or anything else that is often thrown in a box and labelled by the general public?

I am very aware of my "true blue, dinky-di, gidday how ya goin' mate" Aussie accent, so was quite flabergasted one time, when someone asked me if I was South African. ::) ::)

ha ha. lol. i could see myself asking something like that. i can be awfully dumb when it comes to accents. ....but, australian is kinda obvious.
i've been asked how often i say "eh" and "isn't canada always just covered in snow? is there igloos and stuff?"

I was with a group of people one in a northern city in the US and was asked where I was from . I told them Virginia and then I was asked if I had a maid.
I wish I had been fast enough to say: "According to Neil Young I need one."

lol. good one! funny what people think.
i'm wondering, from the quote from jake. g. in the first post, has anyone had experiences with misconceptions about being gay? like that 'man/woman role' or anything else?
