Growing up, kids would substitute the word gay for anything considered stupid, lame, or bad. Like, “that is so gay”. Or “you’re so gay”. But besides that, participating in any kind of dance class like ballet,(I’m not a dancer but I always admired ballet), wearing designer jeans, and taking home economics class in school,(which I did take, and there were other guys in the class as well. I loved the class because I learned the basics of cooking, and got to make food.)
