    I used to be called a faggot (slur for gay) in this era and still now by some of my more monkey brained friends for using an umbrella when it rained.

    Like it’s gay to not want to get wet and feel icky all day 😂.

      Don’t ever come to Germany. :) “We are not made of sugar!” Not wanting to get wet in the rain is defintly frowned upon here (also true if you are gay).

        It’s that way here in Seattle as well. When I moved here 18 years ago my now step brothers told me don’t ever use an umbrella unless you want to be mistaken as a tourist or gay. Too bad I already had that second one on lock.

        In their defense, the gaybies on Capital Hill love umbrellas to preserve their look.
