The thing about moms is that they will ask if you are gay over the smallest most trivial things. In many cases it seems like they want you to be gay.
I think this might be a generational difference in showing acceptance. My dad asked me if I was a lesbian all the time, because he wanted to reassure me that he still loved me if so. I found it very annoying when I was in middle/high school, but in my case it was basically harmless, so whatever. Hopefully your mom’s just doing the same :)
Not in my experience. women my own age and a generation younger than me ask me if I’m gay regularly, or assume I am gay.
because of stupid shit like that I drink tea, read books, cook, clean, have a cat, don’t drive a pickup truck, etc. these things are all ‘feminine’ coded, and if you engage in them as a man you must be effeminate and therefore gay.
a lot of people have a really bizarrely narrow conception of what a heterosexual man must be and any deviation from that image makes them instantly assume you’re partially homosexual.
I’m a stay at home dad. I thought I was straight with all the cream pies and everything, but them’s the breaks. Doing woman things so now I have get a boyfriend and go be gay.

The manliest man I’ve ever met topped me throughout the night.
