Right, a quick one...
(that's what she said)

Not me, but a friend of mine, was at a family do, some old person’s birthday or some such, when he was doing the regular mingling with everyone.

He had had his fair share of beer, and, being a genuinely nice bloke, he saw another guest, who happened to be gay, sat on his own. Not wanting to let this guy feel lonely, he walked over to him and started chatting, about why no one was talking to him because he was gay. Obviously, he didn’t mean it in a mean way, more that the rest of the guests were a bit close minded.

The comment did not go down too well, and instead of cutting his losses, he decided to dig deeper and deeper, until the gay chap starts getting a bit angry and accusing my friend of being homophobic.

His response,

“I can’t be homophobic, because I like boys, as well.”

In one of those perfect moments, he looked up, to see EVERYONE staring at him, and silence.

His girlfriend burst into tears and stormed out, his mum started crying, and his dad looked at him shamefully, not to mention the rest of the open-mouthed guests

To this day, some of the people at that party think he is gay, just because he told a lie to get out of looking like a homophobe.
