Default Gay Socks

Atleast thats what my mother was trying to insinuate

I decided to wear these socks (photo attached) and my mum looked at them, looked at me and said "Tyrone, you can be whatever you want but you don't have to show everyone with those (socks)" and I just replied "Well I like them "

I thought it was quite funny... but really.... do socks show sexuality? :S


And btw, they are SO comfortable

If they feel good wear them, i wouldnt say they show sexuality but they do have personality. Having said that i would wear them if they made a size for my giant feet. *i'm guessing Sears but i dont know any store names*

Gay socks? Well, they're certainly flamboyant, and a mild as milk person like me would probably have trouble pulling that look off. Still, I know at least three straight guys that wear something exactly like that. Spoooky.

Do socks show sexuality. I don't think so.

I think in your case it shows courage. I wear what I like and to hell with narrow minded conservatives.

I think socks would show sexuality if they said "I'm Gay" and were rainbow.

Those socks are pretty sweet, but not for me. I like my white socks .

I say wear them.

hahaha, niiice socks..

Honestly, I wouldn't even go near socks like that cause I'm more of a pain white with minimal design sock person

Though, as they say, if it feels good and comfortable, to hell with what anyone else thinks! Anyway, it'll be covered by shoes and some pants so it wont really matter

They're cool! I'm all for snazzy socks, pants, bras, whatever. It livens up boring underwear. They might make people guess your sexuality, but who cares? They're fun!

I don't think I could ever wear them, but you can march through the streets with them on, it doesn't matter. You'll probably attract some attention and suspicion, but it's up to you if that's worth it or not.
