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.

Edit: formatting

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 took me years to break that habit. I also worked really hard not to use the r word to mean I think something is fucking stupid.

It was common to use both of those when I was a kid. It didn't occur to me at the time that it might hurt someone (again, stupid kid). I've still caught myself using the r word on a rare occasion but I can keep trying.

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