Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay? (lemmy.world)

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 went this route in high school at a dude i had classes with that kept insisting his dick was bigger than everyone's. Eventually I'd ask how he knew, that we didn't have gym class or do the same sports so he would've had to go out of his way to check or ask other people.

He would compulsively bring it up, only to get shut down when me or one of my friends started calling him the dick expert with a meticulous catalog of all the dude's sizes.

Know how i know you're gay?

Worst part about being on Lemmy is having to tell your parents you're gay

Because I'm standing here not wearing any clothes? They are all in the closet btw. :)
