Wait, shorts were gay? Does that include cargo shorts? Cuz there were a lot of cargo shorts at the time.
Source: used to wear cargo shorts back then. I still do, but I used to too.
the shorts part makes no sense. everyone wears shorts
No they mean a certain type of shorts that end above the knees. Not the shorts that are basically three quarters pants. The shorter they were the gayer you’d be.
Gay:
Not gay:
That's not "gay". Not in any circle of people I've ever been in. That's rich boy yacht clothing. Especially if they are salmon colored shorts.
Yeah now it’s not. But in the late 90’s and early 2000’s it was considered that in many places where baggy shorts was the norm. Like you said it’s rich boy yacht clothing. But if you weren’t a rich preppy boy and you walked around like that in rural areas or in the inner cities people would think you ain’t straight. Good for you that the circle of people you’ve been in weren’t super homophobic.
