Use my fancy tea cup at work

My wife and my buddy who is bi insist that I cannot have normal conversations with other dudes at the alleged gay bar we like to visit sometimes. They say that I am invariably being hit on, but I don't notice anything like that.

Here's something to ponder. The next time someone accuses you of being gay for [insert lame reason here], ask them how they know that's gay? Are they gay? Funny how some "men" are so obsessed with "gay" stuff. Always remember, and never forget, closets are for clothes.

I definitely employed this strategy in middle school

Doesn't generally work because logic doesn't work on these people

I was told I'm gay because I like knitting.
I mean, yes I'm gay, but not because of that.

Knitting is a form of computing and computing is women's work. So yeah, super gay, just like all the other programmers. ^/s^

Haven't heard "gay" as a pejorative in real life since high school in the late 90s.

Play a female character in an arcade game. Specifically the one in Golden Axe.

[โ€“] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I usually play as a female character in 3rd person games because I prefer to look at a woman's butt rather than a man's. Seems like the opposite of gay to me, but apparently not.

I've always played as her. She was hawt. Turns out I must be gay. Who'd have known.

Are we talking gay or gay?

That word gets thrown around a lot without actually meeting homosexual. Most of the time it's just used as a tasteless replacement for lame.

I grew up in the 90s so just existing would cause people to call you gay.

[โ€“] [email protected] 57 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The 90s. Cross your legs, gay! Wear a shirt with a loop on the back, gay! Express any emotions, gay!
