How on earth can I bring up the subject ??????

Hey guys & girls - can anyone suggest a way that I bring up sexuality at my next BBQ party.

I want all my friends, family and neighbours that are coming to know that I am straight.

I am unaware of their bedroom antics, as its never been discussed.

However, I feel they should all know that I am straight, so they can get the mental picture in their head, of what might actually go on in mine and my partners bedroom.

Any suggestions would suffice.

Thanx in advance - XxX -

Update:

This is the point I'm making about why people in general have to do the 'coming out' about what sex they do.

A 'straight' is also in a box love - dont discriminate YOUR SELF - LGBT & S

we are all people who have a sexual preference. So why do LG & bi have to tell others about what they do - If straights dont have to ! DUMMY

Update 2:

Well done Nico - you almost got the point !!!!!!!!!!! No body needs to tell anyone - I appreciate that LOVE dosent actully HAVE to be a sexual act - In any case 'straight' sex can be the same as LG or Bi - not meaning to be crude,

but lips is lips an ar*s is an ar*se and can be performed by either S or G.

Update 3:

I have posted this as an example to my friend DsS - who has yet to reply - I hope at least the point is clear to DsS if anyone else.

Update 4:

I don't need to make any announcements -but then again nor does anyone who is gay or bi - but for some reason nearly all feel the need to 'come out' the whole point to my question was why is there this need to come out ????

You have all proved the point by telling ME that I have no need to disclose my sexuality - and indeed you are all correct as it has nothing to do with anyone. So why so many questions on here all about having to tell others about their sex life???????

Perhaps there is a need to broadcast !

A need to draw attention !!

    You could play dumb and ask, "What does BBQ stand for? Bubble butt queers?"

    That should give you the opening that you're looking for.

    I am confused? What makes anyone think you are gay in the first place unless someone asked you were. Why would you bother to even make a statement of being straight unless you have been issued questions by the family. Why do you really cared to share something so intimate when they don't themselves?. If you are comfortable with who you are why are you so worried about what they are thinking.

    To answer your latest addition info... There is a reason we have a coming out party! Most of us have been bombarded with being set up with blind dates or given questions like are you seeing someone? Or are you getting married soon? With the assumption that we are heterosexual beings. By the way, we been since time of birth watched TV, read books, been taught the life of being heterosexual lifestyle. I think you need the education because you obviously do not understand how much pressure we have to not disclosed our sexual preferences. However when we do find love, we want our family and friends to love how happy we are, just like the straights who advertise their engagement and date openly and tell the whole kitten-a -boodle family how happy they are at family functions... Get it...? or not?

    So gooooo ahead.... Get a sound system and tell the whole neighbourhood you are straight... As Oprah who say... Good for You!!!!

    I don't know why you want to make a public announcement that you are straight. We live in a largely heterosexual world, and most people will assume you are straight anyway.

    There is also a chance that if you proclaim publicly that you are straight the way you apparently plan to do, many people will conclude that you really ARE gay but are only trying to cover it up.

    Well if they aren't trying to set you up with a girl or assume that you're gay why bother? I'm guessing this is a turnaround question on gay people coming out.They don't do it to put a mental picture in peoples head you're the one doing that.

    Not trying to be mean or anything but if you are Straight why are you posting this in s LGBT section of Yahoo Answer?

    I'm not sure why you have to announce that you are straight, as they probable think that already. However, you could make up cute little invitations stating something to the effect, "Please come to my hetero coming out BBQ!" or have BBQ party favors that give them the hint flat out. Good luck on that one.

    Unless you have given them a reason to think you are anything other than straight, then they probably already think you are... If you have, then they are your family and friends, and you shouldn't have to tell them, because I doubt they even think about what goes on in your bedroom.

    Posting in the LGBT section won't make them belive you
