Comedian Louis CK believes straight men
should stop worrying about being misidentified as gay.
The 3rd season of Louis CK's
comedy series Louie, in which he stars, writes and directs,
premieres Thursday on cabler FX.
The 44-year-old stand-up comedian
appeared Monday on NBC's The Tonight Show, where he told host
Jay Leno that straight men miss out on some “nice” things
worrying about their perceived sexuality.
“Heterosexual men worry that we'll be
misidentified as gay,” Louis CK told Leno. “Like we're the only
group that cares that you know what we are. Like there's no women
that are scared somebody will think they are a lesbian. I never
heard that. There's no gay guys who think, 'They're going to think
I'm straight.' You never hear that. But we worry about it. And so
it's limiting. Like there's things that we can't do that might be
nice.”
Louis CK said straight men miss out on
using the word “wonderful,” telling a straight friend, “I miss
you,” and snuggling up inside a buddy's arm.
“You can't wear Earth colors,”
Louis CK added. (Watch
