Q & A With Your Token Gay, Vol. XIII

Your question is important to us. Please stay on the line. Questions will be answered in the order in which they were received.


thevinylvillage asks...
Is that YOU on the terlit there? What on Earth??
Finally! I was wondering when someone would asks about the photo I've been using for Q & A With Your Token Gay! This photo was when I was 18 (age of consent for nudity on film) in San Francisco on choir tour. One of my friends and I were goofing around, taking silly pictures of each other, and wrastling half nekkid on the bed. In a purely heterosexual way, of course. Hmmmm....last I heard this friend of mine has eight children and lives in Idaho.


Tami W. asks...
My question to you: What was the most wonderful moment of your life?
When, at the age of 28, I had my first drink.



Tammy asks...
Love the Q & A, I am learnin so much!I have a couple of questions....I always wanted to have a gay best friend like Karen has Jack to go shopping and stuff....so do you like to shop and if I asked if my butt looked big in a pair of pants would you tell me the truth? Just wondering..
The truth is, I probably wouldn't notice. JLo and Pumpkin Delight are always on my case about being such a bad gay best friend. I tend to not notice haircuts or new outfits or shoes or beautifully done nails. If I do notice them, I usually don't think about it much, at least not enough to comment. See! I don't fit the stereotype 100%. But, if you asked me directly? I don't think I would tell you if your butt looked big. I wouldn't want to make you feel bad.




Biddy asks...
oh i have a question! When ya'll got married, did you take each other's last names? I've always wondered how that works.
We did not take each other's last names. Sometimes we'll hyphenate, but we did not make the change legally. However, Diego's last name is legally hyphenated: Giancarlo's Last Name-Jason's Last Name.


Katrine (Jason's sister) asks:
Back the truck up...beep, beep, beep... You're a nudist? A nudist?! You've got to be kidding! There's no way!!!
Just when my sister thought she finally knew me! No, I am not a nudist. I have stated before here that I have nudist tendencies, and given the opportunity, I would most likely explore the option more fully. I like being naked! Sue me!



TheVinyl Villager asks...
Do you and Giancarlo share clothes?
When Giancarlo and I got together, my wardrobe quadrupled. I had a blast trying on all the new combinations of shirts, jeans, slacks, and sweaters. For a while, we shared all of our clothes, except shoes. His wears an 11 and I wear a 9 or 9 1/2. For a few years, we even shared underwear. (TMI? TMI anyone?). But then Giancarlo decided he didn't want to share pants or long sleeve shirts anymore because his legs and arms are a bit longer than mine. And now we also have our own underwear. Are you glad? Or do you care?


Pumpkin Delight asks...
Wait! What!?!?! Clothing optional? Palm Springs? A few years ago? I don't think I knew that. I'm shocked! (kind of)
Yes, Pumpkin, a few years ago I convinced Giancarlo to go to a gay clothing- optional place in Palm Springs for the weekend. I found it very interesting, and I enjoyed myself quite a bit. Giancarlo? Not so much. We haven't done anything like that since. I think this was before I knew you.


Pumpkin Delight asks...
Mormons aren't allowed to swim? Plus, I'm wondering what kind of underwear you were wearing that were not conducive to swimming? (referring to the question about swimming naked in a baptismal font)
Silly Pumpkin. Mormons are allowed to swim. But Mormon missionaries are not. And Mormon underwear is not conducive to swimming because it consists of an undershirt and a pair of long boxer briefs.


Martha asks...
Here's a question for ya handsome, do you use prepackaged water bottles or refillable water bottles? Thanks so much.
I buy prepackaged water bottles, but then I refill them two or three times before I put them in the recycle bin. And I drink a lot of water, about eight bottles a day.



Ree said...
hahhhahahahhahaahhahaa. Dude. Hilarious. I have a question. How many of your labels say Organic on the front?
Hardly any at all, unless it's cheaper, which it hardly ever is. I'm all about the lower price, especially "in this economy." Sorry, TJH.

I would wear Tom's underpants if he'd wear boxers. I wish he'd wear boxers. His underpants traumatize me. TMI?

I'll leave now.

numberonesistah said...

Ahh..I haven't delved deeply enough into your blog after all. I didn't know about these little Q&A sessions. Hmmm...

I'm terribly lazy but since it's you, my favorite token gay, I'll search back through and read up so I don't make you repeat yourself.

Although, you could put on the cliche gay voice and say "Oh Gawd Shawn, that question is soo done already. Wake up and get into the new millenium!"

thezeninyou said...

These are so funny! Love it! Glad to get more insight on the toilet shot :)

Grandma J said...

Jason, Jason, Your response to thevinylvillage's question left me saying huh?

Now, Go back to your very first Q & A With Your Token Gay (May 14, 2008), then look at the very first question...from me...asking if that picture was you on the toilet!

Geesh!!

Pumpkin Delight said...

GC wears an 11 shoe? Wow, how exciting for you. :)

You didn't really answer my question about the swimming. OK, so mormons are allowed to swmi, why not mormon missionaries? I still don't get it.

queenofphrump said...

Dear Tammy,

Jason tells not when the butt looks big BUT he will tell when the item looks like it came from the Barbara Bush Collection.

Another q:
how does 40 feel? I am 2 years older than you and I feel pretty damn good, better than 20!

Busy Bee Suz said...

I love all your answers...so honest. But really, you should lie about the water bottles around me. This angers me. :0

Lacking Productivity said...

Do you ever occasionally sneak GC's clothes? Because you probably leave before him, and I bet you get home before him too...so he might never know.

thevinylvillage said...

woo hoo! two questions in one episode. I feel like Katie Couric.

so why did you stop sharing the undies?

sista #2 said...

Big F goes commando so I couldnt wear his undies, even if I could, believe me, I would not.

Cant borrow his clothes either. He is a large Marge and I am a petite flower.

HAHAHA a petite flower......I crack myself up.

peace

Okay, I never thught about what you would do with your last name(s), but now that it has come up, how did you and Giancarlo decide whose name came first in Diego's last name? Did you go by what sounds better? Or ro-sham-bo over it? arm wrestle? I know these things are a BIG DEAL in movie credits and law firms, so it made me wonder.

Martha said...

Thank you for answering all these insightful questions.
My goodness, share your underwear w/Giancarlo, lucky you!
How is your dry skin btw? It's important to stay dewy now that we are over forty.

Faiqa said...

This is a fantastic idea!! Which is Faiqa speak for "I'm totally stealing this." (Obviously, going to replace gay with *my* minority demographic).

Jenn @ Juggling Life said...

I too remembered Grandma J's comment and your answer. Sheesh--you hit 40 and your memory is gone!

Bonny said...

So your first drink was *that* wonderful? I'm almost 25 and haven't had my first drink. I want to, but I'm nervous due to the many horror stories of my youth. I can hear Sunday School lessons in my head, whenever I start to read the drink menu.

But if it was that good, maybe I should just go for it.

Miss M said...

I was wondering when we would get a new installment of Q&A!!! It's like my prayers were answered. Hey, are you reading my mind? That's really dangerous... you could get really lost in there...

oreneta said...

Jason, just so you know, as has happened with me I just discovered, a religious org has taken out a web address very similar to yours....you may want to check it out, instructions are in the post I just put up and in the first comment. Thought you would want to know, though I suspect there is little we can do.

oreneta said...

Jason, in fact it seems to not be only us, indeed quite a few of the blogger blogs I read have the same problem...wonder if blogger knows.

Life with Kaishon said...

All I know is that I LOVE you even more now knowing that you would not tell me that my butt looks big if I asked. That just screams "Nice!" to me in so many ways.

I have a great question. What is your favorite kind of ice cream?

Grandma J said...

Bwahaaaha! Jason, you are so funny....

Yes, you win...Big time! And I do post my real self on my site on occasion. I just have to be careful because I don't want to scare the kiddies out there now, do I?

I heart you a whole bunch.

Kelley with Amy's Angels said...

Oh how I love Q&A with the Token Gay! So fun! : )

just jamie said...

Oooh, I had not considered the sharing clothing option. What a treat!

And eight water bottles a day. you must have fabulous pores!

Ree said...

I wondered how my own The Diva managed to leave the house and not return for DAYS and yet didn't take any clothing with him. I never considered! Clothes sharing. I gotta get me a wife.

blognut said...

I love sharing underwear. Only not really. I can wear his boxers, he cannot wear my thongs. So he shares, I steal. I don't share. Got it? Yeah, me neither.

Domestic Spaz said...

I had a little miniature orgasmic moment thinking about my closet instantly quadrupling. :)

Domestic Spaz said...

I actually do have a question though... but it's a bit on the serious side. If you knew of a teenager who was perhaps a bit sexually confused but was being brought up by Christian parents who thought of homosexuality as disgusting, what, if anything, would you say to this teenager? Assume this particular teenager is very dear to your heart.

dkuroiwa said...

I love these!!
Was wondering if people comment about your water intake? I drink, like, twice what you do and people here think I might be sick...no, i say...just really thirsty...and healthy...beats the heck out of drinking sodas!!

Now...a question...so is the "gay man on toilet" picture one that is in your 'handbook' because yours is not the first that I have seen and they all seem to be slightly similiar....i'm just wondering.

**Too freaking funny...the word verification is "mashbut"!!!
**snort** That totally made the 12-year-old boy in my personality laugh hysterically!!

HappyWifeHappyLife said...

I love reading these - so funny - "TMI? TMI Anyone?" you are hysterical!!

I never knew Mormon missionaries were not allowed to swim. Interesting.

OK, I do have a question. When I see a sticker on the back of a car that has a rainbow bear on it, what the heck does that mean? Enlighten me, please.
