It's a tie between licking ice cream and saying something is adorable.

Damn, they took orange too? Deadass not making this pizza
Quiche is amazing. Who doesn't like eggs and ham/bacon? Hanging out with gurls, well yeah nothing straight about that...
eat a chicken sandwich. Apparently straight men have to eat burgers.
Hilarious considering chik-a-fila history (unless it's a reference and I missed it for too not being American and having never heard about them before their homophobia was revealed)
Many bigots feel entitled to their bigotry but would probably be outraged if they knew some of the other things the people around them at the rallies they attend believe.

It's funny to me all the times that I've been considered not manly enough, whether it's wearing my hot pink vans or a pink shirt or tie, allowing my gf or now my daughters to paint my nails, and tons of other examples I've been called gay for too. It made me think, what really makes a man. And going by their own definition, isn't it one sign of a man to not be swayed by the opinion of someone who seeks only to denigrate? So why would I care about their opinion?
Wearing an earring in your right ear, but it's ok to wear it in the left... Or the other way around. I could never remember which.
When I was a kid, the saying (here in the UK) was "right ear, right queer".
~~Donβt wear it solely on the left~~
Apparently I got it wrong, sorry for giving you the gay
I hope you're happy. Bro is now getting pounded in the ass bc of you

Looking at my fingernails while my fingers were on top of my palm
According to my dad, considering something as 'lovely'. Even if it's the exhaust note of a motorcycle.
Was this some iteration of "straight men don't care about aesthetics, they care about function" type of thing??
Because that's such a boring existence. I'm sorry your dad hates aesthetics. I hope you've found your own tastes despite him.

TIL I'm gay
We're all at least a little gay π
Hold my arms in a position so that my hands grab the sides of my belly.
(which wasn't even something I was consciously doing, but apparently it was enough to make a fellow male teenager exclaim sarcastically that I was truly standing there in a very heterosexual way)
Arms akimbo?
TIL about that term, yeah that seems to be what I mean
Wear a kilt?
TBH I've never tried and nobody told me it was gay. But I'm a sweaty person and I would love to air out my crotch except for fear of social criticism.
These are all example from decades ago growing up in the 90βs.
I was called gay for not liking soccer, like itβs gay to not watch men chase a ball in shorts.
I was called gay for wearing UGG boots as a dude. Like if we even want to accept gay as an insult, I would argue the person bothered by such things as what shoes one is wearing is more fitting of an insult.
Fun fact. When I had a house mate who was gay, it was very difficult not to use gay as a word for something that wasnβt fun. Like this show is gay. He didnβt mind, but still wanted to stop.
I somehow managed to condition myself into thinking of gay as a complement term. People I hung out with in high school used to call things "straight" derogatively. Something was straight if it was boring, bland, predictable, superficially performative in a conformist manner, etc.
I read a lot as a child and watched very little TV. So in first grade, I only knew the "traditional" meaning of gay. The first time I remember hearing it in the sense of homosexual was when a classmate told me, in a hushed and gossipy tone, "one of the Teletubbies is gay." (I did know about the show even if I hadn't ever watched it.) I didn't really react, but all I was thinking was, "aren't they all?"

The one and only thing was the way I held my wrists/hands when I was younger/into my teens. What's super weird is it was my dad who brought it up and mentioned it a lot but he is super supportive of lgbtq+ that's the weird thing to me.
Using black eyeliner.
Clean my ass
when I finished high school and was talking with friends about going to uni, a few of us were talking a out renting a place together when we got into uni to be close (instead of 2 hours away like we were). another friend we should never do that because people would think we are gay. obligatory he is a Christian fundamentalist who is highly likely gay himself
