I'll start: filling an "are you gay?" online quiz when you're young.

Men’s underwear section at Walmart/Target as a pre-teen.

Staring at the men's underwear aisle as a child but not understanding why

Lady Gaga

On that note, looking up "How to tell if I'm gay?" on Yahoo Answers

Staring at the men's underwear section is the one I fear.

homophobia

Feeling a lot of feelings during this scene in Smallville 

 

Minding your own business, whether at school or on the job, and being randomly (not so randomly) asked if you're gay.

Picking female characters in video games.

"Can I ask you a question?" triggers my fight-or-flight response to this day.

Shitting bricks when you hear "Hey, I have to ask you about something..."

 

Edit: Oh, and getting to hear someone you're close with but not out to go on some unprompted homophobic tirade.

And that's exactly how it always starts. Apparently, I have very fluid motions and walk like a model. I mean, it what it is; I'm just me, even if I do move gracefully for a dude.

I came in expecting funny or dumb answers, and instead I got (not so) personally attacked 

 

 

Being ghosted on dating apps 

Unrequited feelings for male friends or acquaintances either because they are straight or because they want a guy more masc or some **** 

 

idk about universal but this image from the cover of Rolling Stone did something to a lot of gays around my age who were preteens at the time  

Being sent back to your parents birth country in a conversion camp when you can't even speak the language

This!

Having more friends that are girls 

- "why do you only hang out with girls ?"

-  a group of guys asking you to kick a football while you panick 

- jerking off to gay porn while telling yourself it’s just curiosity and "probably everyone does that"
