Is It Okay for Straight People to Wear Rainbow Stuff?

[deusavertat]

this is hilarious to me.

It's hilarious to me as well because aside from being an ally for the gay community there's nothing colorful about me.

My dressing style is very minimalist with neutral colors. Lots of of blue and black with a few red, white, pink, and Grey thrown in there.

I've been trying to change it, I copped a few fitted floral print shirts recently

I always thought it was unfair that LGBTQ had cornered the market on rainbows. How did society at large allow rainbows to become a part of gay culture AND also irish lore? Like rainbows b? That's just a part of nature. But now you can't wear it without people assuming you're homosexual. Like, there's lots of dope rainbow ****, designs that utilize the coloring...but gotta avoid it just to avoid the whispers. Sure, you can always just do what you want and say f people's opinions, but keeping it G, doesn't come without social consequences.

Since when are lgbtq folks checking people in rainbow gear?

 

[marikomorose]

Info: is the rainbow on the shoes supposed to be representative of the LGBTQ+ community or is it just a rainbow on a pair of shoes?

Its not that.

Its people worrying about what other people think if they wear it.

 

[aepps20]

Is this real why is he licking his lips?

It is real. The Rainbow Coalition was deep back in the 80s and early 90s.

Then you're good.

Not like the LGBTQ+ community has a monopoly on rainbow usage anyways. They have the flag if they need a symbol.

This thread really speaks to your social awareness and I'm very proud. Old NT would never be this aware to ask. I'm not in the LGTBQ community but I consider myself an ally and I would rock whatever I like so long as it wasn't offensive to members of the community that I personally know.

DJT is shockingly disappointed at this low class statement. You let the liberal conjecture and innuendo finally enter your heart.

This is like the closest thing I could think of.

 

[cucumbercool]

i don't see rainbows belonging to lgtbq, simply associated with it. only issue is possible homophobic harrassment you may get while wearing it.

I support Kate Jenner and her views so DT won't be mad because we're all very conservative

I don't watch wrestling anymore because I'm not 8, but do they have gay wrestlers now? If so I may have to start watching again for the comedy.

Yes




As you might expect, Sonny Kiss is not very popular with a certain segment of "professional wrestling purists"

I know DC Afrika is rolling in his future grave.

Let's just say there's a reason he repped that post and it's not because he agrees or is a fan of the content

[osh kosh bosh]

In general I feel like some people have overcorrected when it comes to cultural appropriation.

you'll have to pry the 3xl tall fabolous nuggets throwback from my cold dead hands.
