Ok, 2 things this your post made me like you more. You mentioned St Augustine, I love St Augustine. I’m not a big Florida fan, but I love St Augustine. Visited there many years ago, when I was a kid, I’m talking like almost 50 years ago. But now my favorite uncle lives there, and I went there to visit a few years ago, still love it.
The historic district is the bomb. Tell me you did a ghost tour. We did one that night too, and our host showed up plastered. Slurring badly. We went by a nearby house that was supposed to be haunted and someone put a mannequin on the upper balcony of the house. You’d swear it was someone standing dead still. Now keep in mind there were young children on this tour. One of them asked “what is that?” Luis, who if you just hear him you would know in a second that he’s gay, says, “I don’t know. But if it moves, I’m going to s.hit.” Whole crowd busted out laughing.
Secondly, my ex wife’s best friend was the officiant at OUR wedding. So we have that in common.
As far as gaydar, it’s an indeed a thing. I’m not trying to be disrespectful to gay people. My ex wife’s best friend was the first person I ever heard say gaydar. And HIS was never wrong. He too could tell which alleged straight people were hiding the fact that they were gay.
It’s very real. And they’re all very good at it. I guess if you’re immersed in that community, you pick up on it pretty quickly. Just one thing, though - you should disassociate yourself from anyone who thinks you’re trying to be disrespectful to gay people by saying they have gaydar. Immediately. Good to hear you enjoyed hearing about that experience, though. We just had a baby in December, so it might be a while before we go again, but my wife and I have tried to spend a long weekend at a B&B in St. Auggy every year. PM me when you go again and I’ll send you a list of the best ones we’ve stayed at.
