For many of us, Denialsville is a wonderful place to live. You don’t have to get with it, smell the roses, get your head out of the sand, or any other metaphor for facing the facts. If you ever need to get there in a hurry and you are not sure where it is, its your first left after La-La-La-I’m-not-Listening Street. Living in the beautiful world of denial keeps you from see the truth, specifically that your boyfriend is gay. Here are some tips in case you are running low on excuses and reasons to explain away his behavior.

1) So he calls you and he tells you that he spent $75.00 getting his hair highlighted, textured, and layered; there is a simple reason for this, he just wants to look THAT nice for you. It’s not girly, its romantic. HA.

2) So you’ve just crawled out of bed after a lovely romp in the sack and you go to put on his shirt but he says “no baby, that’s my diesel shirt, it cost me 100 bucks, please don’t wear that one. The explanation for this is perfectly evident, he doesn’t have many shirts and therefore likes to take care of the ones he has. It not that he cares more a name brand than you!

3) You’re getting dressed to go to the movies and he walks in the room and holds up two belts, a hot pink one, and a neon yellow one and asks which one he should wear; there is only one way to explain that away…he wants to be reflective so that when you are in the parking lot of the movie theatre, you won’t get run over!

4) You take him to your gay best friend’s house and five minutes after introducing them, your gay best friend leans into your ear and says, omfg, he is so gay, what are you doing? There is only one possible reason he would say this, he wants him for himself! Its not that your gay friend has excellent gay-dar, it’s just that he wants you to believe he is gay so that he can have a chance with him.

5) While doing his laundry, you discover that he has more clothes than you, thus debunking explanation number 2. The only answer for that one? Pssh, he must have JUST gone shopping and didn’t tell you and bought a bunch of new clothes. Jeez. It's not that he has a great love of clothes and all things fashion.

Following these simple rules, you can live in Denialsville as long as you have enough time to allocate to completely ignoring all signs. :)
