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.

    Wait, you mean straight people can do stereotypical gay things and gay people can do stereotypical straight things, all while having no effect on their sexuality?

    Woah.

      Oh thank God you’ve cleared this up!

      All this time I assumed that sucking dick would make me turn gay!
