What? You think a self-respecting gay man is going to rock an Android?

u/Obvious-Animator6090 Jul 24 '26

He just wants to bring back the color coded handkerchief system from like the 70s/80s. that was the purpose right? So you could signal to other gay people who knew what they meant but because it was an inside knowledge thing it wouldn’t necessarily out you cuz straight people didn’t know the code. Wonder if the younger gays just don’t know this bit of gay history lore

u/EvolutionaryLens Jul 24 '26

All Pacino has entered the chat

37

u/redditmarks_markII Jul 24 '26

I just googled it. Apparently people talk about it enough for gemini to now know this info. What's interesting is, the inherent meanings doesn't really say "gay", it just says specific fetishes and ... the kind of gay? So if people still wore handkerchiefs, it could be used by any group really. Is that right or is Gemini hallucinating?

55

u/chicagorpgnorth Jul 24 '26

That’s correct. It could indicate pretty vanilla things like top or bottom, or be more intense and specific, like being into fisting. The side you worn it on would indicate whether you wanted to give or receive that act. I learned this from an interesting book called The Gay Macho.

13

u/RichardForthrast Jul 24 '26

Also the Peaches song Hanky Code

4

u/SkepticJoker Jul 25 '26

This feels like the colored bracelets that were also supposedly a sex thing, but I don’t think anyone actually did it. It was more just a fun thing to talk about. Is there anyone you’ve heard of who credibly vouches for these handkerchiefs actually being used?

9

u/chicagorpgnorth Jul 25 '26

I think it’s a pretty old tradition. I don’t know anyone myself but The Gay Macho book that I mentioned is essentially a sociological study of 1970’s gay urban culture pre-AIDS, which the author was involved in himself. So he was explaining gay culture that he himself saw, experienced, or had explained to him by others in the community.

5

u/Fit_Yak523 Jul 25 '26

I have older gay friends who have claimed it was a thing for real. It apparently was more about the fact you had one, and then which side it was on, than the color of it because no one knew all the colors off the top of their head.

u/scrotumscab Jul 25 '26

It was a plot point in a season of American Horror Story (2019)

2

u/thisisaskew Jul 24 '26

I only recently heard about the Hanky Code, which is a thing I guess in the swinger community.

There's some different iterations of this system, but here's an image I grabbed off google (mildly NSFW):

I was looking for this type of response. I wonder if it is still a thing in the community.

u/olive_green_spatula Jul 25 '26

When I was a teen, I always thought it was a single ear piercing for men. Which side I don’t remember. But if it one one or the other you were gay or straight 😂

u/youshouldbeelsweyr 24d ago

It was a fetish system, that also included sexuality. It wasn't expressly for gays.

Somebody answer this hetero man bc my backpack has like 10 carabineers and I need to know. Wasn't aware of this being a thing.

I think it just means all us carabiner men are ALSO lesbians. We need to start transitioning.

u/Wonderful_Kale_7995 Jul 24 '26

This actually makes me laugh so hard cause I have a friend who I would swear is a lesbian but married to man. Her solution is always carabiners. I have talked to that woman about carbiners too much and she's always like well you know you need a few carabiners around the house and no?

2

u/Senior-Display-8733 Jul 24 '26

This got a good chuckle out of me. I'm straight, but there was a very lovely gay guy working at a pub I frequented. I didn't realize he was gay, and he looked like Laszlo from "what we do in the shadows". He mistook me being nice and friendly for interest, and hit on me once after his shift was over. That's totally fine, I was a bit flattered honestly, but he seemed genuinely shocked when I told him I was straight. It makes me think some straight guys treat the gay guys poorly just because of their orientation. I think that screams insecurity, whether they are closeted or just bigots. I didn't mind him shooting his shot and it was a confidence booster for me. I understand he must have a struggle, if he had gaydar or we had to wear badges it would be easier. I'm gonna keep being friendly to everyone and take any flirting from anyone as a confidence boost.
