Amazing Good Question

This is a real Good Question, from a real Good Question viewer.

"If a man wears a ring on the middle finger of his left hand rather than on his ring finger, does that mean he's gay? (I am referring to Tom Lyden of Ch. 9.)" -Julia, Eden Prairie

I do my best to answer all of your Good Questions, so I sent Julia's query onto my friend Tom.  His response is hilarious.

"Hey Jason, It is not a necessary pre-condition or a sure fire identifier.  It’s not like having a fabulous sense of style, a good haircut, or a fine sense of manners.  That says Urban Gay.  Likewise, it’s not like having an ear ring in the left ear, a red hanky in the back pocket, or a preoccupation with the steam room at the Y. That’s Castro Gay.

It’s subtle. It’s modern.  It’s post-Gay.  It says, “Yeah, I’m one of the 18,000 who got married in California. No big deal."

Honestly, never thought much about it since I slipped it on my finger 12 very happy years ago."

Good Question.  Getting it done.
