Its seems just about everyone these days is cracking wise regarding the rainbow. From movies like I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, to my room mate (who for the sake of preserving his identity I shall call Bruno.) joking that playing "Just the Tip" with another man is an acceptable form of post bar entertainment. With this surge in gay humor, has come the greatest phenomenon of the past half decade...the No Homo phenomenon.

According to Urbandictionary.com "No Homo" can be defined as what is said after a potentially gay phrase was said, or to state that something is not, in fact, gay though it may sound that way. For example:

That guy has huge calves. No homo.
Pass me those nuts. No homo.
Put your dong in my face. No hom-wait no that one is pretty homo.
Anyways, all this no homo talk got me thinking: If this is how straight people talk and make jokes do gay guys do the opposite? Is there a secret "No hetero" phenomenon taking place in underground clubs and men's bathroom stalls across the nation? For all we know "New Hetero" is the new "No Homo."

Personally, I think it would be hysterical to overhear a conversation between two guys where one said something like "Yeah man, she was smoking. No hetero!" but that's just me. I plan to do more extensive research into the realm of no Hetero and hope to post my findings at a later date.

But for now, I think its safe to say that the subject of "No Hetero" is still wide open and ready to be touched on. No hetero.

    If straight people say "no homo", and gay people say "no hetero", what are bisexual people supposed to say?
