Sucking my best friend’s dick. I’m sorry, but if my friend is having a bad day, giving him a bro-job is not gay.
Not judging, but that is definitely gay.
Only if they kiss afterwards.
What if the kiss is just kissing the homies goodnight?
Put away the D, wait 10 mins and you're good.
I'm generally skeptical of comments on the internet, so almost every time I have read comments like this one that you're reading right now, I've been like "yeah right". Kinda like how "lol" means "laughing out loud" but when you read it online you don't really expect whoever wrote "lol" to have laughed out loud? Anyway, I was drinking coffee, I read your comment, I snorted in laughter, and now my white shirt is full of coffee.
I guess I'm also kinda mad at myself for laughing so hard at such a silly joke. Regardless, have an updoot 👍
Use chapstick
Read a book in public
Not go to gym
Play certain more "feminine" games
Those off the top of my head. I live in a nation of backwards idiots, so there for sure are more
Use chapstick
My first exposure to Big Bang Theory was the scene where they made fun of one of their friends for "wearing lip gloss" and refusing to call it chapstick. It was so weird and toxic and I assumed it was a gay panic joke before finding out it was the nerd show I was avoiding. Fucking terrible show.
Chapstick and lip gloss are different where I'm at. Chapstick is a thick paste stick like beeswax consistancy, and Lip Gloss is a roller tip with liquid inside.
One goes on matte and one is Glossy
Use chapstick
How I get around that: Wait until my girl uses hers, then kiss her.
It's a bit of a running meme between us.
Washing your asshole... Seriously dudes, wash it anyway
Yes, why would you expect anyone to stuff something up there if you're not going to at least keep it clean!?
Yeah this is still astonishing to me as a guy. Why is basic hygiene gay?
Sleep with my buddy on same bed.
Eat an ice cream treat in Australia:(
Golden Gaytimes are brilliant
twisties make you gay, because life's pretty straight without twisties
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.
Depends on the bar, but gay bars can actually be pretty chill. Everyone there was really nice and the atmosphere is fun.
The first time we went in, we were super awkward, and a nice older guy saw us standing in the doorway and kinda scooped us up and showed us around the place (coat check, pool/games area, etc). It gave us the warm fuzzies. :)
Both my SO and I aren't straight, but people are pretty respectful and nice at that bar, and I wouldn't feel unwelcome even if I was batting for the other team.
Handing out homemade candy in one of my upper level college courses.
As a fellow crafty, cooking, mostly straight dude, I'm sorry to hear people calling your generosity and thoughtfulness "gay."
Hugging friends. Or any sort of physical contact that isn't with a woman.
Playing tennis.
In jr high I had some friends who played football say my other friends and I on the tennis team were gay for playing tennis.
I had to point out to them that the tennis team was co-ed and we regularly made out with our female teammates on the long bus rides to tournaments.
While those on the football team were constantly manhandling each other, showering together and slapping each other on the ass to say "good game." But the tennis team are the gay ones?
They got mad, but dropped it.
One time in high school, I heard somebody yell "Steve, you [bundle of sticks], stop talking to your girlfriend and let's go!" and Steve was in fact at the time talking to his girlfriend.
The sheer concentration of cognitive dissonance has stuck with me to this day.
Fag evolved into something completely different in the '00s, and was seldomly used to imply homosexuality. I don't know how it happened, exactly, but it was seemingly repurposed to mean loser/douchebag, just as gay was used to express something being lame. This didn't stop the words from being offensive, but it was still an interesting change of definition. Obviously they've since reverted.
Can confirm. My friends and I used that term a lot towards each other and none of us thought anyone was actually gay.
