I was born in Victorian Britain and have a very mirthful air about me.

So one day I was going about my merry business, being my jovial self.

When I'm walked a creature that saw what I was about, smiled at me and said 'well aren't you the gayest person I've met all day'.

I'm not sure how to feel tbh

It's a tie between licking ice cream and saying something is adorable.

The one and only thing was the way I held my wrists/hands when I was younger/into my teens. What's super weird is it was my dad who brought it up and mentioned it a lot but he is super supportive of lgbtq+ that's the weird thing to me.

Hold my arms in a position so that my hands grab the sides of my belly.

(which wasn't even something I was consciously doing, but apparently it was enough to make a fellow male teenager exclaim sarcastically that I was truly standing there in a very heterosexual way)

Hilarious considering chik-a-fila history (unless it's a reference and I missed it for too not being American and having never heard about them before their homophobia was revealed)

Many bigots feel entitled to their bigotry but would probably be outraged if they knew some of the other things the people around them at the rallies they attend believe.

Orange? Wait until Dutch football fans hear that. Would make NL during a Euro Cup or World Cup an absolutely ✨ fabulous ✨place xD

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Damn, they took orange too? Deadass not making this pizza

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

Quiche is amazing. Who doesn't like eggs and ham/bacon? Hanging out with gurls, well yeah nothing straight about that...

It's funny to me all the times that I've been considered not manly enough, whether it's wearing my hot pink vans or a pink shirt or tie, allowing my gf or now my daughters to paint my nails, and tons of other examples I've been called gay for too. It made me think, what really makes a man. And going by their own definition, isn't it one sign of a man to not be swayed by the opinion of someone who seeks only to denigrate? So why would I care about their opinion?
