“But you’re gay… why do you like sailing and WWE?”
“Well, I feel like both of those are pretty gay considering the reputation the Navy has and WWE being all sweaty men.”
“EXPLAIN FIREARMS THEN.”
“Shooty go pew.”
“WHAT ARE YOU?!”
“Hungry.”
Based off of a real conversation I’ve had.
I don’t believe that’s the case for everyone. There were 3 boys in my elementary school that were flamboyant from the earliest I can remember them. They just always had the mannerisms, and other kids talked and wondered even back in fourth grade, “Is he gay?”
Two of them eventually came out as gay. One ended up being straight, he was just very animated and coincidentally spoke with a lisp.
That is to say, some people naturally have a flamboyant energy. Others would have such an energy, but are shamed if they express it. There are simply too many reasons and factors at play to ascribe only one explanation.
