Anyway, there is a new Malay insult for gay guys and it is called "kunyit" (turmeric). Not sure how long has it been around but I just recently heard about it.

Pretty hurtful but at the same time kinda funny.

Hey, welcome to the thread! I'm in the same boat... I have a crush on the manager of the gym that I frequent. He's very nice and always helps me with my lifting form. He also compliments me on things which makes me so happy sometimes. One day when I finished with my workouts, I said goodbye to him and suddenly he pulled me aside and gave me a card. I asked what it is and he said it is an invitation to his wedding. I was crushed. 

I'm pretty straight-acting and I'm thinking of leaving hints like rainbow flag in my social media and piercing my ear or something. I'm super shy and my preferred approach to dating is to wait for guys to fall on my lap instead of actively seeking for them. 

I was told because turmeric looks like poop and we are known to have anal sex. It's a very creative insult, I have to admit. 
When you said he knows you're gay does he said it to your face or he started to act weird around you? It's gonna hurt but I do support your decision if you're going to distance yourself from him. Being in love with colleagues often leads to a mess in the future.

Oh I see.. So you're lesbian right? That's really odd. I think you should talk to her about it... She might be having other personal problems for all we know.

usually people that doing this dont realize they are at disadvantage in terms of looks or body shape, and doing the teasing or trying to annoy you is just a denial for them to escape their shall i put it ugliness to attract your attention. in some cases, they are trying to test who you are so that they can be confident that you are gay or lesbian. they are closet gay or lesbian, but they wont reveal to you until they got their hidden test answered.

how they test ? using the typical stereo types assumptions, which are highly unreliable. 

but you are right, those handsome or really sexy goddess, they dont spend time doing such things, because they can attract people at their par

this applies to any sexuality, in fact it's a common sense

Lots of LGBT issues/controversies appearing lately. I'm pretty upset.

My daily quota of homophobic comments is full for today but I can imagine what are written there.
