What’s something you’ve been told not to do cause “that’s gay“?

[+ 7829V]

Wearing pink. 
Having mostly female friends. 
Cry.

Going waaay back to high school there were all these rules that kids made up like you don't wear a yellow shirt on Thursday. Kids make up crazy things.

My guess now is that @7829V has 7829 questions he wants us to answer.

I don't know here in the USA but where I am from, this game was ONLY for girls.  I always wanted to play it, but I couldn't because it was "gay" if a boy played it.

Carrying your school books with a bent arm close to your chest.  You were supposed to carry them with a straight arm next to your hip.

[+ 7829V]

Standing with your  knee slightly bend.

You were "super gay" if you do that, I was told. 🙄

1. Loving Broadway so much.
2. Going to see a movie because I have a crush on the male star. Now I follow some youtubers because I think they're hot! 
3. Judging men by their looks most of the time...
4. My passion for antiques and design. I'm from a time when buying houses in Dupont and Logan Circle was considered to be gay. I had friends who said they lived somewhere else because the gayborhood was gay and still dangerous.

@marylander1940 yes! The musicals and Broadway… still to this day I hear comments that enjoying musicals is so gay. 😅

[+ 7829V]

Liking Madonna back in the 80s it was considered gay where I grew up.
Same went for Boy George, Cher, etc.

Dancing on tiptoes.

[+ 7829V]

Not liking playing soccer as a boy… meant you were gay.

Playing hopscotch, double-dutch skipping, gymnastics, crossing your legs tightly...

Yes! I forgot about hopscotch. Happened to me too. Wow. 

[+ 7829V]

Being tidy, quiet and good at school. 

[+ GoingGood]

Crying at the movie when the dog dies.  

[jeezifonly]

Well, it used to be sucking dick, but apparently that’s no longer the case. 😂

My older sister gave me some tips just before I started high school, I remember the book carrying was one of them. I think another was the way I walked.

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.)

Where I’m from, wearing the right shade of pink was considered preppy, especially Lacoste shirts and all-cotton button downs.

Actually, when I was young, no one knew the term "gay" except men who were gay.

Think of all the things that we know today that we didn't know when @Charlie was young!

Yes, like the fact that masturbation won't really make hair grow on your palms.

Also, wanting an Easy-Bake Oven.  Though it was eating the cakes that attracted me, not baking with a lightbulb.
