No shade intended but by any chance are you Gen Z or younger?
If so, there’s some ingrained toxic social more context you might not understand because you grew up in a better society than we did.
But if you’re genuinely asking…
Anything that acknowledges women exist? Gay
Anything that recognizes men in relation to others instead of as the default? Believe it or not, gay
Anything that involves sharing? Gay
Pink? Gay
Blue? Also gay
Pink and blue? Liberace
Diagonal lines? Gay
The male/female Mars/Venus signs? Gay
The Venus sign on a blue background? Lesbian
Mars sign on a pink background? Flaming gay
Two men standing near each other: friends of Dorothy
Two men holding a flag together: Gay
The way the one guy is pinching the corner: Super fucking gay
Wearing a teal shirt: Gay
Wearing a yellow tie: Gay
I could keep going but I think you might get the picture.
I used to say it, cause it was my environment in a very lgbtphobic area around lgbtphobic people to fit in, stopped saying it cause I don’t want to spread hate, and started using it again, cause it is my environment in a very gay friend group and gay girlfriend cause it is feels funny and good to reclaim it.
Exactly! We also like to poke fun at it ever being a “bad” thing. One of our running gags with each other, my partner and I, is to respond to something/event by saying “I think I might be gay” and the other one of us will feign horror.
Nope. 67 and doing my best since high school to be inclusive in my thinking.
I guess I just don’t get how anyone other than a toxic fuck or at least a thoughtless stereotyper could say that most of what you point out of indicates gayness.
Someone else went through a “symbolic analysis” that helps me see some of it.

I still have relatives that say “ugh that’s gay” to mean “I don’t like that”.
I don’t speak to these relatives anymore.

It’s still common for people to use “narcissist” as an insult when it’s the name of a mental disorder.

That’s like everyone back when I was in school, me included.
Yeah, point taken. The toxic fuckery I saw and experienced and probably propogated in school is likely why I’ve put in effort to be better.
