Haven’t heard “gay” as a pejorative in real life since high school in the late 90s.
Yeah, school.in the 90’s was so gay.
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 don’t fucking care how feminine somebody thinks something I’m doing is if I’m comfortable or enjoying myself. I’ll drink pink drinks all day if it fucking tastes good LMLML bro.

Dang, we must have had so many Superbowls.
Kiwi strawberry Snapple.
It was 30 years ago, but it kinda killed the whole concept of calling things “gay” for me.
Oh man - I really love kiwi strawberry Snapple. Am also not gay if that’s relevant.

I was born in Victorian Britain and have a very mirthful air about me.
So one day I was going about my merry business, being my jovial self.
When I’m walked a creature that saw what I was about, smiled at me and said ‘well aren’t you the gayest person I’ve met all day’.
I’m not sure how to feel tbh
Drink from a straw. Wear shorts.
I went roller blading on the boardwalk along the beach during the pandemic and got called gay
I haven’t thought about this in like 20 years but when I was in middle school late 90s some kid had an album where one of the songs was titled “You Rollerblading (f-slur)” and I remember thinking it was the worst music I had heard in my life. 90% sure it was grindcore music, I didn’t know what grindcore was at the time but my memory of the sound kind of fits that mold and the album had like fifty tracks and every single one of them was like 10-15 seconds long.
I suspected this was an Anal Cunt track by the title and looking it up proved my suspicions correct.
I found out about them during the Napster/Kazaa era looking for 311 songs and their song “311 sucks” came up. I thought it was funny, then again, I was an edgy teenager at that time.
There was a show, Human Giant I think it was called, which was like skit comedy. Aziz Ansari (spelling?) was in it. In the skit, he was talking about rollerblading and I lost it when, with a straight face, he said, “the hardest thing about rollerblading is telling your parents’ you’re gay.”
It wasn’t your skates that did it; it was your crop top and hotpants. j/k
Well are you? I don’t see any proof you’re trying to deny it.
I think the outfit determines how homosexual either appears, or if you are actively penetrating a man or being penetrated by a man.
There is nothing more masculine than gay sex
Fun fact, this is why I got laid so much in Mexico. I took so much straight dong on that trip I should have gotten frequent fliers miles
Agreed. Rollerblading is very 90s.
🎶I got a brand new pair of roller skates you got skint you knees, let’s get to together and touch together our peepees🎶
Oh god so so so many. I’m going to stick with music though for today.
You like ${artist}? That’s gay.
Even more fun, “You like ${Track} from artist? That’s the gayest track.”
Guys are real quick to make sure everyone else knows how much manlier they are by what music they listen to.
Sounds like your music is pretty gay. Add some masculinity with It’s Raining Men or just jamming to some Village People.
Just wanna point out that at least in the 90s and early 2000s people would call everything they disagreed with gay, and it didn’t have anything to do with sexual preference.
My brother’s gay and still calls stuff he disagrees with gay. Used to do it myself all the time but stopped quite a long time ago.
In the same vein, my friend frequently tells his fiancé to quit being a f*ggot when he doesn’t want to eat something unusual or complains about mild annoyances. Which always draws hilariously confused looks from nearby straights who don’t know them very well.
Those guys are all sadly afflicted by a case of the Notgays.
I saw it from this post and wanted to see what Lemmy has experienced…
“Why clean the house unless you’re expecting visitors?”
SO YOU HAVE A CLEAN HOUSE BITCH WHAT THE FUCK?!
That bit about wiping your ass is pretty funny ngl
Nah man gotta keep that shit swampy
What app did you use to create this?
E: I just realised that 1.) it’s a reddit post, not lemmy post and 2.) that it’s not even your creation. xd
Well fuck, I own more work boots than that, not to mention shoes for jogging, shoes for work, and shoes for going out. My work and fashion footwear game is strong.
Fellas, is it gay to have women compliment you because you care about your appearance?
Love Jesus
… Like, the holy Bible Jesus?
unisex clothing == male clothing
so still cant buy anything with colors or style or anything even mildly feminine without the gay thing being thrown around
I don’t live in a shithole, so nothing.
I do, but also nothing
I wish you continued good luck in this regard.
Have a straw in a restaurant.
How am I suppose to not smudge my manly lipstick then?
How am I also supposed to not show how I can move my lips and head up and down the straw and lick up any leaks? /s
Use a Mac.
Pull through parking. You know, where there are two spaces so you drive through one into the next so you can pull out of the one you park in without having to back up? I got told that was for “girls and gays”.
If pulling forward into an empty parking space in front of your car is gay, then I guess you’d better start calling me Elton John. What the actual fuck?
Rocket man
Real men know that there is a greater tactical advantage to backing out of a parking spot instead of pulling out.
Not sure if related, but my wife once told me it was hot watching me put my arm behind her passenger seat, look back and reverse out of a car space.
Now I need to know… are reverse cameras also for girls and gays?
Along those same lines, aren’t backup cameras becoming standard in vehicles?
They’re puttin’ cameras in the cars to turn the friggin’ trucks gay! (/s for those who don’t know the reference)
That really clashes with the reality of how truck bros actually park. Or does it…?
Truck bros park in the dead center of 4 spots.
Yeah, sorry, that was me today. Weird day. I’d back up 4 times and still not be able to see the lines.
Get a smaller truck, jfc. What if the lines were children?
Lying on the ground in a parking lot? That would be weird, but maybe they could have called out directions to help me get into a parking space.
It’s the same car regardless of location. If you can’t see the parking lines then extrapolate, idiot.
Stand in awe at a replica of Michaelangelo’s David.
Admittedly staring at a statue of a naked guy, but come on
Heh come on.
Yeah, you don’t have to be gay just to be able to admire art.
Though it doesn’t appear to hurt!
