It was 30 years ago, but it kinda killed the whole concept of calling things “gay” for me.
Like the color purple
wearing colorful clothes (wtf)
Wipe your ass.
Are dudes really out there with shitty cheeks because “wiping is gay”? I refuse to believe this
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
Know how i know you’re gay?
Because I’m standing here not wearing any clothes? They are all in the closet btw. :)
Worst part about being on Lemmy is having to tell your parents you’re gay
I was told I’m gay because I like knitting.
I mean, yes I’m gay, but not because of that.It would be really weird if that was cause and effect. I like to imagine how that might go down though.
Knitting is a form of computing and computing is women’s work. So yeah, super gay, just like all the other programmers. /s
We’ll programmers do enjoy their programming socks
My programming does suck sometimes, but I wouldn’t say I enjoy it.
There’s a knitting community, but it’s pretty slow. Crochet gets a little more action.
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.
Hmm, just being oblivious sounds like something a Lemming would do. too.
Driving a red sedan
I can’t even follow the logic behind this one.
Come on its obvious! Sedan - see Dan. Staring at a man called Dan.
Also ‘red’ has 3 letters, just like ‘gay’.
Play a female character in an arcade game. Specifically the one in Golden Axe.
Dumb. Obviously you’re trans. /s
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.
Yeah it’s all Lara Croft’s fault, all those gamers are gay now because of her
Yeah I don’t get people’s need to associate the game character with oneself as roleplay. The game character is the game character and I’m just watching like I would in a film.
old man ftw
Or you could be trans, apparently (3rd panel): https://reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=july-3-2020
I’ve always played as her. She was hawt. Turns out I must be gay. Who’d have known.
I grew up in the 90s so just existing would cause people to call you gay.
Nostalgia is gay dude.
The 90s. Cross your legs, gay! Wear a shirt with a loop on the back, gay! Express any emotions, gay!
The 80s: clear your throat in too high of a pitch? Get followed to the bathroom and the shit kicked out of you.
Use my fancy tea cup at work
I once got called the f-slur for having the audacity to read a book in public, outdoors in front of the library.
It’s okay, you can say “fatty” here.
Is this gay erasure?
It’s reality; this fat gay book nerd got called fat derisively MUCH MORE often than the f word
I’m disabled!!
Haven’t heard “gay” as a pejorative in real life since high school in the late 90s.
One story my husband shared with me was when he and my dad stopped into a local bar after working hard on home renovations all day. They planned to get some dinner and have some beer after a hard day’s work but needed to wash their very dirty hands first. So they went back into the bathroom and washed their hands. Well apparently that was too “gay” for the owner of the bar and they went over to the bathroom and started saying things like “I don’t know what you think you’re doing in there” and “I just need to make sure you’re not doing anything funny”. So they ended up just leaving while the guy yelled at them saying they had to buy something.
A slightly different version of this concept also happened to my husband. At one point, 2 of our lady friends were talking about fashion and my husband, who is MUCH more fashionable than I am, chimed in. They proceeded to tell him that he’s “not allowed to have an opinion because he’s a man” which is the most double standard bullshit I’ve ever heard come out of any of my friends mouths. It’s stuck with me for a long time now because I think it keeps me honest with myself about standards and reminds me to think about how opinions change when you flip genders.
Fellas, is it gay to not eat dirt
They planned to get some dinner and have some beer after a hard day’s work but needed to wash their very dirty hands first. So they went back into the bathroom and washed their hands.

Fellas, is it gay to practice basic personal hygiene?
I think the bar owner thought they might be going into the bathroom to do gay stuff, not that washing their hands is gay.
Two men walking in the bar and going straight to the bathroom together. Man jumped to conclusions.
Well it is called “homophobia” and a “phobia” is an irrational fear.
He lives his life in fear of two consenting men. Lol
I had the realization recently that homophobes think of gay sex as often as I do; but they have to jump through mental gymnastics to get it while I simply open up app and I’m back to normal an hour or so later.
I can’t image how hard it is to be happy and hold such a defining part of your life with such contempt at the same time and that was the first time I’ve ever felt sorry for a homophobe; it was for Aaron shock.
They went in straight. All good then.
Washing your hands implies you touched your penis and touching penises is gay.
Wait… you’re not washing your asshole are you?
You can’t be having fingers near your butt, same with wiping
