One hero on Reddit asked others, "What is the weirdest thing you have been told not to do because you look gay?" and the answers are ... incredible. For clarity, gay makes sexual attraction to same-sex people. Nothing else. Yes you know it yourself.

1. I was reading a book and some guys called me gay. Not that I was reading it, but that I was using a marker.

2. I have been told not to brush my teeth with dental floss because it is gay.

3. A friend of mine did not eat anything in a phallic form. Sausages, bananas, cucumbers, none of this.

4. A friend once told me that her ex did not clean the intimate area because, according to him, "touching a penis makes you gay."

5. I went to the movies with my brother-in-law. He told me not to sit next to him that we look gay.

6. I've been told I'm gay because I like singers or girl groups with girls.

7. I once went out with someone who didn't drink cocktails because they looked gay. He only ordered beers to look like a man.

8. I remember when I was little, Dad used to tell me not to sit upright.

9. I once knew a guy who didn't talk about anything emotional because "he's gay." We couldn't even talk about cute puppies or kids.

10. A friend of mine was separated from her boyfriend because she kept the house clean. He cleaned every dinner and according to her, he was gay.
