I was just walking to work one day, when I got heckled in the street by some random guy singing at me:
"Earthworm Jim, you're so much fun to play. Earthworm Jim, you're tall, you're thin, you're gay!"
I've never been more seen.

According to my dad, considering something as 'lovely'. Even if it's the exhaust note of a motorcycle.

All of the comments here are reminding me of how life was 20 years ago and also before I was married with kids.
I genuinely donβt fucking care how feminine somebody thinks something Iβm doing is if Iβm comfortable or enjoying myself. Iβll drink pink drinks all day if it fucking tastes good LMLML bro.

I don't live in a shithole, so nothing.
I do, but also nothing
I wish you continued good luck in this regard.
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

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.

Certain piercings are stereotypically seen as gay or feminine. Like, I've got >30 piercings, yeah, I'm going to pierce my navel.
Are we talking gay or gay?
That word gets thrown around a lot without actually meeting homosexual. Most of the time it's just used as a tasteless replacement for lame.
wearing colorful clothes (wtf)
