Gender roles are a hot topic these days, but there is a segment of the population whose definition of being straight is so narrow, that the moment a man puts in even an ounce of effort, they are immediately declared “gay.”

Someone asked “Straight guys, what is the strangest thing you have been told not to do because "that's gay"?” and people shared their most unhinged examples. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to add your own thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

“Going Down On A Woman”: 50 Straight Guys Share The Wildest Things Labeled “Gay” As a straight woman, I think the gayest thing straight men do IS THINK everything is gay. Like…why are you always thinking about being gay? Gay men? Gay things? Colors that are gay, seasons are gay, drinks are gay, clothes are gay? Like…….maybe YOURE GAY dude .

I travel to work every day by public transport, including the train. One day a man of Ottoman descent spoke to me. He asked me not to show off my gayness so publicly, as it was disgusting.

I wear a brown leather bracelet on my left wrist with the name of my son (who was 2 years old at the time) engraved on it.

When I confronted him and told him he could keep his homophobic views to himself and that this was my son's name, he accused me of being xenophobic and Islamophobic.

My first roommate in college (well, one of them, it was 3 of us in one room) gave each of us a stuffed animal for Christmas. I was debating what to name mine, and throwing out some possibilities, and she said, "You can't give it a girl's name!" I was like, why not? She said, "Because then you would be sleeping with a girl in your bed with you, and that's icky!" 🙄 That was not the only homophobic thing she said. I once tried to call her on it, and she said, I kid you not, "I'm not homophobic. I have a gay friend."

The love and affection between a human and their pet is in some ways stronger than a bond between humans, and this would in no way make me feel embarassed. I had the same bond with my mom's cat littermates: Farley was male, Eliza was female. Eliza terrorized Farley over mom's affections, and I became his saviour. I became his forever protector-buddy, and we were the bestest of snuggle-buddies. I'd have done anything for that snugglepuss.

“Going Down On A Woman”: 50 Straight Guys Share The Wildest Things Labeled “Gay” Me and my friends were deciding which movie we wanted to check out in the theater and decided on Brokeback Mountain because the alternative looked “kinda gay”.

Mind that we knew what both movies were about and none of us at that time (or since, I hasten to add) were homophobic or intolerant, that was just the vernacular of the time. Soon as my friend said it though we just kinda looked at each other and burst out laughing, and I think that was the last time I remember any of us using the word as an insult.

Which makes no sense. Gay men don't typically go looking for vasectomies, since we don't have to worry about getting our partners pregnant. I know a handful of straight men who've had the snip, but not one gay man.

I used to have a job that required me to wear a suit and tie. A woman I was seeing said that it was gay that I laid them out the night before. The reason I do that is because me and mornings don’t like each other very much.


I was called gay for not grabbing and kissing a female friend of mine when she wanted me to. For the record, this was several weeks after the “I only see you as a friend and I don’t want to date you” speech. She had not updated her feelings for me to me. Apparently respecting women’s stated boundaries is gay.


Hanging out with my best friend? Two men alone together must be doing the gay to each other.


Honestly, it is exhausting sometimes.

“Going Down On A Woman”: 50 Straight Guys Share The Wildest Things Labeled “Gay” Pee sitting down.

I was taking care of my Parkinson's addled father. Walking and falling down were a big issue. I was basically living at his house towards the end, holding his elbow everywhere he went, including many a midnight bathroom trip, standing there holding him up and holding his d**k so he could pee. I kept trying to get him to just sit down to pee so I didn't have to touch his d**k.

"NO! I'm not sitting down to take a p**s!"

"Why not?"

Cry

It was always kids at school never at home though. My dad is, at least emotionally, a tradional man's man, but he never told me not to cry. Which caused some issues for me as a kid but helped the adult me be emotionally healthy.

A couple years ago my dad played my family possibly the saddest song to ever exist. Jacobs Dream by Allison Krauss. A devastating song about children freezing to death in the woods while their parents search for them often from the POV of the dead kids, including lines like 'mommy and daddy don't cry we arent cold anymore'

I didn't make it past the first chorus before breaking down, like full body sobs. My dad says something like the classic 'are you really that upset' to which i replied something like 'im not ashamed of the crying, its a really sad song'

The song finished out as my dad continued to pick up around the house, and I definitely saw him wipe a few tears away. He's been a bit more open about showing tears since then. Its funny because it helped me realize my biggest cry trigger: strong men trying to hold back tears and failing

One of the perks of being gay is you rarely run into men who want to control your clothing. I've known so many straight men who basically let their wives and girlfriends treat them like children when it comes to clothes -- and it's not like they improve his style in any way, they just veto his favorite clothes. So he looks like a more boring version of himself.

I'm of Mexican descent, which has a very machista culture. When I was a kid I used to eat tacos by squeezing my thumb and index fingers and my other 3 digits would be standing up. My parents would make fun of me and would say it looked feminine every time they caught me doing it till I stopped cuz I was just really annoyed by it all. I mean, its terrible taco eating form, no support, but that's not why they hassled me.

I swear I'm not lying. Fellow trucker said using cruise control was gay.

If you lived through the 90's and early 2000's, every single object, action or thought was called gay or a synonym at one point. It was a very flamboyant time.

We had a game, similar to hot potato, where the goal was to bodily tackle the person holding the football. I don't know what kids call it these days, but in my childhood it was called "Smear the Qu33r"

I don’t do it, not because I think it’s gay, but because I’m old and fat and it makes me look ridiculous

I went to rural Tennessee for a mission trip when I was like 16 and was told I should be shot for being gay because I had a mohawk.

So a mixed company group goes skinny dipping and keeping your jocks on is hetero but being fully naked in front of fully naked women is gay - make it, make sense!

I’m a woman but I’ve never understood why most men think it’s gay which totally isn’t to me is shaving/waxing. Trust me most women think waxed bodies are a lot sexier than hairy dadbots.

"Most women" seems like a stretch, if not an outright untruth. I don't think I've ever had a woman friend express that (and speaking for myself, I much prefer a man with body hair). Maybe a generational thing? (I'm 41, for reference, so right on the cusp of X and Millennial.) I've also only been rejected once, maybe twice, by a man due to my own body hair, so I'd even hesitate to say that "most men" prefer a woman without body hair.

Earlier in this feed someone was told eating ice cream with a SPOON was gay! I guess eating it at all is gay now.

Parking next to another guy. Mein Freund, I'm parking next to you that I can control that I have a better chance to open my door when I return to my car. This is a beverage-store parking lot and I don't want to be blocked by some drunk bastard.
