Default Gay Signs Where You Live

The pictures thread got me thinking about this.

Okay, since we all live in different countries around the world, I was wondering the "gay signs" are in the place where you live. (Keep in mind this is just "stereotypical" and not every gay person has this)

For example, where I live:

-A pierced right ear means you're gay (if your left ear is pierced, also, then more piercings on the right ear means you're gay; vice-versa, if your left ear is the only pierced ear or if it has more piercings than your right ear, then you're straight)

-A pierced right eyebrow means you're gay

-A white belt means you're gay

So, are the signs different for where you live?

The belt and eyebrow ones dont exist here.

Mainly the big one here is, If your making out with another guy, then you're usually gay

Haha XD Nice observation


It's really too hard for me to tell right now.. Guys of all classes wear gay looking clothing... some gays have low pitched voices as well as high.. and it's just too jumbled for me to tell.

I'd say the biggest hint is having a rainbow article on

Okay, Im gonna be all serious now ( I know, you're thinking " What, Ryan, Being SERIOUS, that's crazy talk" but its not )

There really are no signs, I mean even if even a guy is "flambouiant" that doesnt mean hes gay. Its called Metrosexual and I hate them 'cause they confuse me so much, plus I could make a list of signs but I couldnt even say that anything on that list of things would be true about myself because some gay guys like myself arent really that "Flambouiant". So yeah, thats just my two cents

Hmm, can't say I know of any. Yeah, metros kinda mess everything up here, too... lol

As far as the pierced ear thing, I don't think anyone in my area really knows which ear means what, now. I certainly don't...

I think we should bring back the handkerchief code.

Well since I'm a band nerd, the two biggest signs for me are

1)Playing the flute (and enjoting all of the flute parties)

2) Being in the colorguard

But the weird thing is that the guy flute and the guy colorguad member we have are both straight.....

Dunno, right ear is pretty much surefire here and a white belt is relatively accurate.

No one else has posted any signs where they live. I heard in Europe the left ear is the gay ear in some places. Anyway, these are just signs. I'm not saying that every gay person has them and not every person who has them is gay (but there's more of a chance that they are).

Pierced right ear, pierced right eybrow and white belt? If a guy had all those he still wouldn't be 'suspected' to be gay where I live, at all. Unfortunately there's not much that you can rely on here...there's lots of emos and metrosexuals and guys that wear pink and lots of jewellery and the majority of them are very straight and they have no idea how gay they look.

And believe it or not, I have never ever, in my entire 21 years of life, seen 2 guys holding hands or kissing or doing anything that would make them obviously gay. Everybody's hiding in the closet....there are no support groups, no GSA, no PFLAG, no nothing. OK I'm way off topic, I just got a bit carried away

Well here in Scouseland (Liverpool for those of you unaware of the term scouser ) breathing out of line is ghey.

It's mainly the usual stereotypes that make you ghey. If you don't speak hardcore scouse and you are a scouser than you are ghey. Fooools i tell ye.
