when I finished high school and was talking with friends about going to uni, a few of us were talking a out renting a place together when we got into uni to be close (instead of 2 hours away like we were). another friend we should never do that because people would think we are gay. obligatory he is a Christian fundamentalist who is highly likely gay himself

Fuck my bf in the ass...
Sleep with my buddy on same bed.
Listening to Frank Sinatra singing about women by a guy who used to play grab ass with men. They always find something to project their insecurity on to.
Well it was only twice in the 20+ years I've been going to bars, and I don't shy away from a gay bar.

All of the comments here are reminding me of how life was 20 years ago and also before I was married with kids.
I genuinely donβt fucking care how feminine somebody thinks something Iβm doing is if Iβm comfortable or enjoying myself. Iβll drink pink drinks all day if it fucking tastes good LMLML bro.

Around 2010ish I was thoroughly enjoying some Bells Two Hearted and other IPAs. My brother (2 years older) tried arguing that bud light is man's beer, and my beers were fruity and girly. It certainly doesn't matter to me, but the irony of choosing bud light, out of all the macro beers, is just π¨βπ³π>
Nothing more emasculating than drinking carbonated piss
Reading that anyone could think Bell's Two Hearted is "fruity" is fucking wild.
I'm guessing he hadn't actually tried it at the time.
Solid beer all around
I remember kids telling me I was crossing my legs in a gay way. I asked them who said so, and they said their teacher. That was the first time I realized some bullies grow up to be teachers.
As a kid I was told if you eat scrambled eggs for dinner you are gay. It affected me longer than I care to admit.
You know sometimes when I eat eggs after noon I start to wonder....
What possibly was the logic here?
In the 90s, "gay" had become a catch-all term for "thing I think is stupid". I've heard LGBTQ people intentionally unironically use the term in this manner.

In jr. high i was called gay because I dressed semi decent. Jeans with a t-shirt a blazer was apparently too much for them lol
Why would you want to wear a blazer for school outside of important days?
maybe they like the look?
I did like the like and I looked pretty solid in my opinion. I usually wore it when it was like fall with a little chill in the air
ETA: it was a very casual blazer. Not wearing a suit jacket or something lol

I've had a colleague say that tea is "homo water". I'm aro/ace, but most of my colleagues don't know that. Similarly a straight colleague of mine got mocked for wearing pink (but not feminine) shoes. After some of these incidents we've kinda started pushing back against this nonsense by deliberately triggering these people and calling them out, which has worked so far.
To anyone who thinks tea isn't for cishet men I have four words:
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
π³π³ Hey, I'm a cishet man but thinking about joining jean-luc for some tea, earl grey, hot, really gives me the vapors.
