Wear a kilt?

TBH I've never tried and nobody told me it was gay. But I'm a sweaty person and I would love to air out my crotch except for fear of social criticism.

Putting a wig on my best friend and spooning him while he's asleep.

Don't let anybody tell you you're not humpable, because you're bumpable, I hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.

Using black eyeliner.

Wearing an earring in your right ear, but it's ok to wear it in the left... Or the other way around. I could never remember which.

~~Don’t wear it solely on the left~~

Apparently I got it wrong, sorry for giving you the gay

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Only wear it on the left

We're all at least a little gay πŸ’œ

According to my dad, considering something as 'lovely'. Even if it's the exhaust note of a motorcycle.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

TBH, it's quite gay to be infatuated with exhausts...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

Was this some iteration of "straight men don't care about aesthetics, they care about function" type of thing??

Because that's such a boring existence. I'm sorry your dad hates aesthetics. I hope you've found your own tastes despite him.

I can do anything.

These are all example from decades ago growing up in the 90’s.

I was called gay for not liking soccer, like it’s gay to not watch men chase a ball in shorts.

I was called gay for wearing UGG boots as a dude. Like if we even want to accept gay as an insult, I would argue the person bothered by such things as what shoes one is wearing is more fitting of an insult.

Fun fact. When I had a house mate who was gay, it was very difficult not to use gay as a word for something that wasn’t fun. Like this show is gay. He didn’t mind, but still wanted to stop.

I somehow managed to condition myself into thinking of gay as a complement term. People I hung out with in high school used to call things "straight" derogatively. Something was straight if it was boring, bland, predictable, superficially performative in a conformist manner, etc.

One time at school I decided to randomly put a flower on my shrt from outside, then my friend started frantically saying "That's gay bro! Take it off now" and refusing to walk with me in public if i didnt take it off

Listening to music.

I was playing some music on my cassette player at school one day, but it wasn't rock'n'roll according to the renowned expert that was discussing the situation with me, therefore it was "gay".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Like... Any music?
