    These are all example from decades ago growing up in the 90’s.

    I was called gay for not liking soccer, like it’s gay to not watch men chase a ball in shorts.

    I was called gay for wearing UGG boots as a dude. Like if we even want to accept gay as an insult, I would argue the person bothered by such things as what shoes one is wearing is more fitting of an insult.

    Fun fact. When I had a house mate who was gay, it was very difficult not to use gay as a word for something that wasn’t fun. Like this show is gay. He didn’t mind, but still wanted to stop.
