Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven

We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.

Community Rules:

~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Apparently I'm a regular gay now. Oh well

Lol uh oh, this is a boomer chart. Ankle socks became the go-to a decade or two ago for men.

Right? Am I gay? No, I just hate when socks ride down my massive rippling calves.

Ok that sounded a little gay I guess..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, now the "regular" socks are "old white dude" socks lol

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, last time I was made fun of for the socks I wore was in my early teens. I kinda stopped giving a fuck since then.

Arent jokes normally funny

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends on your sense of humor and social proclivity.

But it's clear you didn't enjoy this joke, and you want to make sure no one else can either, so I'm guessing you're lacking in one or both of those.

Is your name Olly? Because you just disassembled that person.

Once you go over the knee the cat ears are mandatory.

Didn’t know socks determined your sexuality. But I’m straight and get told it’s gay that I wear thongs and g-string men’s panties.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think it's more so what people in those respective groups would believe about socks. Most straight men I've met, and especially looking back at middle/high school..yeah the list on the left tracks lol

Dude, ankle socks are the shit.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

My name is Cozymandias, gay of gays:
Look on my socks, ye Mighty, and despair!"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So this is how I find out I'm too gay?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Sorry to inform you, honey

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Why do you only want to cover your toes, heel and the bottom of your foot but not any other part? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

He likes the ankle sweats. Leave him alone

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

On a serious note, I wear them with slip on loafers like Vans.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Me too..... I'm too gay and for queers! My calfs need air!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I don't really mind any socks, if they match the outfit. I guess I wear the gay socks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am a "professional athlete" 😏

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What would the thigh high socks would be on this list?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What about decorative socks worn with sandals that have statements on them, e.g. Cats For Life!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There are some comments in this thread that are really telling of Lemmy. Some of y'all REALLY need to learn what a joke is, like take a class of something, fuckin hell.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is highly location dependant. Rave socks are actually the regular here.
