8/31    I've heard that gay men often wear an earring on one side.  Which
        side is it?  Right or left?  Thanks.
        \_ Millhouse, my mom wears an earring. Do you think she's cool?
        \_ About 20 years ago, this may have been the case.  Piercing is
           far too common now to be any distinguising factor in sexual
           orientation.
           \_ Yes, about 20 (or maybe only 15) years ago it was:
              left: straight, right: gay
        \_  Trying to upgrade your gaydar?  What for?
            \_ probably knows someone with such an earring...i'm curious myself.
               but i mostly assume any male with an earring is gay in spirit.
               \_ arrrrrgh, matey.  ya be callin' me gay, ya landlubbing
                  nancy-boy?
                  \_ He's probably hoping all male earing-wearers are
                     at least latently gay so he can fantasize about them
                     and hope it may come true.
                     \_ Oh not everybody. I only fantasize about you,
                        big boy.
