Bedside lamps don’t match, not gay
My wife and I have carpets next to our sides. She did not want them to mismatch :(
Not pictured: The giant crate full of dildo’s, furry costumes and assorted fetish gear under the bed.
So many people have thought I was gay I went into introspection. Turns out I’m very straight.
I will say this in my bluntly antiquated way (47 man).
I kissed my buddy in high school because fuck it it was a dare. Didn’t like it it’s fucking weird. I wear pink. Love pink. I’ve painted my nails, dyed my hair, wore a dress before. I do all that because I know I’m straight. It’s hilarious watching less secure people do juggling exercises in their heads when I know I’m going home and I’m fucking chicks.
My current gf is far more conservative than I am so I’ve toned down a lot but my joke has always been my grandma thought I was gay and asked my cousin once. He told her I’m not because he’s walked in on me so many times having sex with girls lol.
Moral of the story, don’t give a fuck what people think. Do you and if doing you is being gay then be fucking gay. Own it. Trust people like me will have your back if some dickhead pushes back.
I’m with John Waters. We need to bring perverts back into fashion.
Dude, same.
I don’t wear much pink, but I paint my nails, I color my beard non-standard colors (I look great in purple).
Completely straight, never once had an interest in the same gender. I often accompany friends to drag shows and gay bars and I have a blast.

Legendary artist / filmmaker. His movies are not for everyone and can be tough watches at points but also hilarious and with some great characters.
Yeah, it’s usually just a compliment. Some things that implied I was gay were having gay friends, smiling, being friendly and not always having sex-seeking behavior with girls. Probably also that I don’t have traditionally male hobbies like football and I’m also a good listener. Then there’s the fact that I grew up in an all female household and I’m up for listening to matters of the heart.
Rest I’m pretty much a stereotype guy, I go to the gym, mediocre hygiene and dress like I have no sense of style. I’ve had some girls even say “I first thought you were gay but in reality you’re really straight”. Probably my love of having sex with girls gave it away finally.
This sort of thinking is what made me realize that early gay figures (e.g. think the extremes of San Francisco and the like) were straight-up punk rock. “You don’t like us and want to harm us? Check it out, I’m walking my partner on a leash and we’re not wearing pants. Go fuck yourself.” That perspective really morphed my view into a real respect.
I’m my late teens and early twenties, I had several occurrences of gay guys hitting on me, to the point where I started to worry that there was something about me. It seems funny to me now, but I really did have a period of wondering if I could be and was just repressing it because of my Catholic upbringing. But ultimately I realized that I just didn’t find guys attractive at all, and even the thought of kissing a guy was kind of a boner killer. So I get what you’re saying, even though on the surface it sounds funny to say you wondered if you could be gay.
Sometime later I ended up with a couple of close gay friends, and I mentioned it to them. They said it was probably because I put out a very non-judgemental vibe and didn’t seem like a homophobe, so it probably didn’t seem risky to hit on me.
So many people have thought I was gay I went into introspection. Turns out I’m very trans.
For some reason lots of women think I’m gay too, even when I had a woman friend wingman for me. I’m self sufficient, reasonably clean, I dress nice (with help), and honestly a bit odd so I suppose that’s why they’d think that. Just like you though, I’m quite straight
They weren’t calling ya gay because you dress nice and take care of yourself, it was that cock in yer ass
Fellas, is it gay to have a moderately tidy bedroom?
I bet you any woman with half her shit together could find at least 5 things wrong with that picture, probably more.
Not a woman, I don’t think, but the main blanket/duvet thing is too lumpy to be hotel perfect. The frames on the walls are at seemingly random heights. The bedside lamps don’t match. The clock placement is terrible/an eyesore. And the black pillow should be in front of the two smaller pillows.
This seems like the thread to ask. I am wiring up a two-way switch so that a person on either side of my bed can turn the bedside light on or off without having to roll over to the side that the light is on. Is… Is that gay?
It is gay, yes, but since you’re doing electrical work it’s pretty butch. I’d say it makes you more lesbian than anything else. If you get some smart plugs to put them lamps on you can set them for voiced activation and regain some heterosexuality (but only the nerdy, techy kind that comes with big Reddit Mod energy).
If you want to be back into Normal Straight Bro territory you have to make the voice command for the lamps the sound of you railing a chick. It’s the only way to square things up. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules, and homo math can be very complicated.
I would honestly say that the smart plugs and general electrical work pretty much go hand in hand. All my very much heterosexual male acquaintances that are electricians love smart plugs. Smart plugs everywhere. Going to their homes is like coming to an experimental museum of “how can I just barely make this building up to code while nothing fucking works”.
Honest to God, I love my smart plugs. Starting using them because my mom is bed bound, and can’t get up to turn off lights and such… Eventually just put everydamnthing on one. It’s just so fucking convenient… When the power doesn’t go out (lots of brownouts here) and knock the Internet out.
It’s funny because it’s true (@ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works really does need 3-way switches for his application).
The naming is not consistent. As Wikipedia puts it,
This article follows usage in the United States. Readers in most other countries should read “two-way” or “SPDT” for the United States “three-way”; and “intermediate”, “crossover” or “DPDT” switch for the United States “four-way”.
The switches I’m using are marked with cute “ON/ON” labels which I suppose could be a metaphor for something.
