So I was thinking the other day, about some of the various things I've been told over the course of my life that were subtle clues/markers that someone was gay, and I thought it might be amusing to share them, and see what other things were listed as "gay."
So, without further ado!!...whatever that means, I've never had a dew in my life:
1. Having a single ear pierced. There never seemed to be any consensus on this one, as to which ear it was, but I heard plenty of times that having only one ear pierced was a sign of being gay. This made for an amusing encounter when I was about 14 or 15, at a public pool. I was there with some friends of mine, and a guy that I wouldn't call a friend, but he was a lifelong schoolmate, so I knew him quite well. We were in the pool, just horsing around, like boys do, and he suddenly stopped and looked at me in shock. When I asked him what the problem was, he said it's because I had a piercing hole in my left ear, and this meant I was gay. Considering I hadn't pierced my ears yet, this confused me, and no amount of assuring him that it wasn't a piercing, or the fact that..you know...I was down with ladies seemed to sooth him. He seriously freaked out over what turned out to be, upon later inspection, to simply be a skin discoloration on my ear lobe. Some tiny scar from something, that happened to be in the piercing location.
2. Crossing your left leg over your right. Also, crossing your legs like a lady does, but being a guy.
3. Lifting up your pinky when you are drinking from a glass. I do this all the time, it's just habit, but somehow this is subtle clues that I'm into the gay!
4. This one I always found particularly weird but, using my fork in my left hand while cutting food with a knife in my right, and NOT switching the fork to my right hand to eat the piece of food later. You heard that right folks. If you are cutting food, and have the fork in your left hand to stabilize the meat, and cut it with your knife in your right hand, you better switch the fork over to your right hand to eat the bite of food, or you are into the gay.
Those are the only ones I can think of offhand, working on 2 hours of sleep + intense back pain and strong painkillers!
What weird and wacky things have you been told over the years that are supposedly signs of gayness?
*EDIT*
Just to clarify, considering some of the posts I've seen, none of the things mentioned here are suggested to actually be accurate depictions of gayness, or transness, or whatever. This is simply a thread to list some of the funnier/goofier/weirder things we've all heard were ways you could tell someone was gay/trans/whatever. The implied expectation is that these indicators are all pretty much bullshit, but they still might be funny to hear about.
