Have you ever been bothered by an insensitive question from a straight person?

So has Gus Kenworthy. The out Olympian aired his list of grievances in a recent video alongside Teen Vogue's Phillip Picardi.

Titled "8 Things You Should Stop Saying to Your Gay Guy Friends," the clip dissects cringe-worthy classics like, "You don't really seem gay," "Are you sure you're gay?" and "You should meet my other gay friends."

Watch Kenworthy and Picardi discuss the full list below. And don't miss SNL's Thanksgiving Adele parody for inspiration on how to change the topic with well-meaning, but ill-informed family and friends.
