I grew up in the 90s so just existing would cause people to call you gay.

The 90s. Cross your legs, gay! Wear a shirt with a loop on the back, gay! Express any emotions, gay!

The 80s: clear your throat in too high of a pitch? Get followed to the bathroom and the shit kicked out of you.

My dad used to call me this non stop. I didnโ€™t know what it meant and he kept saying I was effeminate because I cared about the clothes I wore. I wanted to look good for the girls.

This, to my dad, made me gay.
