Refusing to listen to "killer queen" because it was too gay.

No way this one is real lol

In fairness we were in high-school. So toxic masculinity was at its height.

Friend gave me the aux in his mustang. I still remember it because it was beyond idiotic of him.

My brother refused to listen to Whip It by Devo because he thought it was gay.

He associated to that scene in the Simpsons with Smithers dancing along to it in chaps.

I used to know a man who was huge fan of Queen but also massively homophobic. When I called him out on it, “Um, Freddie was very gay”, he quickly replied, “Oh, that’s different”. 🤔
