A BRIEF HISTORY OF GAY SIGNALG, OM HANKY S TO THAT 'WHAT GAY GUYS ARE ACTUALLY LIKE' VIO

Maybe you've seen the recent vio that purports to show "what actually happens when gay guys see other gay guys and straight people aren't around." While I n't nfirm or ny the accuracy of the clip's subject matter (still wag on clearance om the Gay Agenda), I n say that s edy is rooted a rich… * gay secret signal *

How do you tell if someone is gay? In the '70s, the handkerchief gaed populary among gay men who were search of sual sex. Cos like this were ccial to the early velopment of LGBTQ+ muni, but date back even further than the Gay Liberatn movement, to the mid- to late-19th century (like, the Gold Rh), and are still ed ci across the globe plex theory, the orig of the secret language is varied, too.

And hey, vis your lol LGBTQ+ fetish-themed boutiqu to pick up some for yourself; though predomantly ed by gay men, handkerchiefs know no genr. The landspe of homosocializatn may have been transformed by social media, but why not unplug om Grdr or Tr and go at old school for a change?

If he is gay, do this mean your gaydar is returng a posive but you are uncerta if the sensor data is rrect? Or you know he is gay but jt n blurt out "I'm terted you!

THE FOTTEN SECRET LANGUAGE OF GAY MEN

* gay secret signal *

If the first (gaydar is broken) then I would suggt talkg about known gay clubs/bars - not all the time, but as a ht drop. Now Sonny's bar is not The Buffalo - everybody, cludg my nyg great grandmother who is very straight and narrow and shouldn't know, knows that "those people" go to the Buffalo - Sonny's is the one that most gay men know about, but the straight folk haven't figure out s one of those kds of bars. Maybe (if you have your area) Ask him if he ever watched the edy rout on that new tv channel lled Logo There is some good edy hours, and I like the click list (mic vio program) (( Yeah strange for a straight man to watch the "gay channel")).

THIS SECRET LANGUAGE ALLOWED GAY MEN TO COMMUNITE WHEN HOMOSEXUALY WAS ILLEGAL

Anyway, what I am sayg is select a subject that only gays your area would be the know about - intifiers like a certa books store (no not the adult books store, the one that sells GLBT books, ffee cups and rabow flags) and brg up nversatn. If he is fely gay he will know about them and if he has a bra cell he will figure out what you are dog. If he is straight and different about the gays, eher he will not know about the plac/thgs or he will know.

If he do know and he is one of them homophobic typ he will have much to say, all negative but then will clue you .

Now if the problem is that you do not know how to e out of the closet (no not that your gay, but that you are terted him) Then I suggt the straight - oops - gayly forward method, that is to jt e out and say that you are terted him. I do not know where you live but I assume that two men dng is not assumed to be two gay men dng - not unls they are both "obvly" gay.
