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.
I know it’s a bit difficult, coming from your bubble and all but most things people do are not related to their sexuality but personality. If you saw a hetero guy or gal post selfies like that you would also not think of them being hetero as the reason why they do this but because they like this pose / think they look cute like that.
This is an unconscious bias. It takes some time to rewire your brain. But I see you are willing to and that’s already the best start.
Oh for sure. This guy is just flamboyant as hell and it just kinda seemed like this was part of it. No one else I’ve known did that. Again, small sample size bias, but that’s why I thought to ask before assuming. I came here to see if these 2s added up to 4 just based on the vibe I felt.
