Except that in this case it was literally said that he looks like he's homosexual. Regardless of the term that's used, there's an innate negativity to both of them, since it's directly implied that someone's not living up to some kind of masculinity norm or heterosexual standard because of it.

Perhaps it's more of a personal peeve of mine though, because I got the same thing when I was a teenager (especially early teens) and it sucks to be called out for something when you're still coming to terms with it yourself. I imagine it's not a lot more fun when you're not actually gay. I still hate it when someone makes a remark that suggests I'm not actually a man because I'm gay, like one of my coworkers who's literally acted as if I somehow see things through a female's perspective because I'm gay, which is just stupid.

Sorry for going on a bit of a tangent, but this sort of thing just sets me off a bit. >.>

Besides, calling out a teenager for looking "feminine" is just plain stupid in general, because a lot of the time the things that make for a more masculine look are often underdeveloped at that age.

Can you put my full name in spoiler tags? I would not like to be googled here.

So when you were a teenager people called you out on looking gay and you, in fact, were gay? Though I totally get your point, this example kind of undermines it.

Let me put it this way: most of the gay people I know, do not look what most would describe as "gay". However, the disproportionate majority of the people I know who look this way, are, indeed, gay. Something I never understood because being gay obviously doesn't make you look one way or another.

My family doesn't give a shit what I do. My brother already left the faith, if I did I'm sure they wouldn't be too surprised.

So you don't consider homosexuality to be at all in conflict with your faith?

That's good!

Yes, it's like the gay lisp. Not all gay guys have it, but if you have it, you are almost certain to be gay.
