First, a little context.
So this might have nothing to do with anything, but being ignorant about it, I’d like to at least make an attempt to figure out.
I don’t actually know very many gay people in person.
I have this one gay friend that lived near my childhood house. He’s like 10 years younger than me, he’s really more of my younger sibling’s friend than mine, but he’s often around when I see them, and we’ve had a bunch of weed sessions together. Anyway, I have him on snap because of this.
On to the main question.
He sends a lot of selfies to his story that have him with his tongue just hanging out as far as it goes. Given his flamboyance, I assume this means something gay, but I’m not sure.
I feel like on Lemmy this goes without saying, but I’m totally supportive of that (in stark contrast to how I grew up), but this is such an odd quirk that I’ve never even heard mentioned in any other circumstance.
I don’t necessarily think it’s a cutesy promiscuous thing, he’s had a boyfriend for a couple years now.
Is this face gesture a thing? Or maybe it’s just a him thing…?
Somebody here let me know.
Just a thought but if it’s like this, it’s some anime porn thing that people do now. It’s not gender or sexual orientation specific though. I think they usually cross their eyes as well.
I’m too old to understand it. Or to be cool anymore.
Of course there is an ahego face jar. Why does that surprise me?
lol
Lmao no, sticking your tongue out isn’t a “gay” thing. I guess he’s trying to be cute, so sorta feminine and stereotypical but it’s not really something I’d consider part of gay culture. (I’m bi, my best friend is gay and I’ve hung out with a lot of gay men.)
As someone who lives in an opposite bubble, this post was funny to me in a wholesome way. I love how respectful you’re asking this while being fucking confused.
To answer your question: none of my queer/gay friends do this gesture specifically, so it seems it is just a quirky thing he does :)
😝
OMG you know him! Lol
