Well, many people told me that men who wear earnings are sending a public message that they are gay and proud of who they are.

OK, but what does it mean if you are wearing two earrings, or just on one side (right, left).

I am asking this question because I've seen many men wear earnings, and some of whom wear it on one side.

On the other hand, many told me that wearing earrings do not have to do anything with sexuality.

I would like to hear your comments, please.

Men have been wearing a single earring since IDK when....around the 80's sometime? I think it first started as a thing with the hippies, and later caught on? So yeah, for many, it's just a fashion statement. I haven't seen the 2-earring look, so I can't help you, there.

I think it means they like wearing ear rings. But what do I know.

lol Some guys are afraid to do anything these days, for fear of being mistaken for gay. Gotta wear huge baggy swimwear, surfer boardshorts, even, because anything too short, or a speedo, heaven forbid, means you're gay. Gotta research the "language" of earring placement, so you won't inadvertently be sending the wrong signal. Don't be too fashionably dressed; gotta wear sloppy lumberjack shirts, or you might attract the wrong kind of attention from the wrong people.

It's hazardous being a guy, these days.

Did we just time warp back into the 80s or 90s?

In this day and age, left/right/both sides earrings mean absolutely nothing when it comes to sexual preference. Does it even matter?

I can only imagine what goes through your head when you see guys with "man buns"!

I also wasn't aware that this was something that's specific to Berkeley.

All I know is big gauge earrings = extra gay. In the derogatory early-2000's sense.

Have you been in a coma since 1988 and just woke up? Or, is this a joke?

Maybe you are from small village in North Dakota where time has stood still for 100 years and just moved to Berkeley? I'm just confused but it could be b/c I am not aware of small town America??? Is this what small town America or middle America is like??? No, can't be. Everyone has a TV nowadays, yes. I'm overthinking this...

Maybe he's been living in the Bay Area where 3k a month rent forces him to work so much he can't keep track of news and culture because he didn't happen to have been born 50 years+ ago.
