Some say if you have an earring in the left ear it shows that you are gay. This is true.

I must say, I completely disagree with that quote. Both my brother and father have earrings in their left ears, and I assure you neither are gay! I have known dozens upon dozens of straight men who wear earrings on their left ear, right ear, or both ears. It means absolutely nothing.
You are queer as a three dollar bill if you have right earring, left ear you are cool.

It seems that the right ear is the one that means that. Sure, some think either ear on a man means that. Now, if you go by the old gay handkerchief codes, you can assume that either ear could mean gay, but that there is a distinction. The handkerchief code states that a handkerchief in the right pocket means you are the "receiver" (gay bottom) but that the left side means you are the giver (gay top). So maybe that applied to earrings as well. So the left ear was more popular since, even if someone used that to accuse them of being gay, it would mean a less marginalized type of gay person, since gay tops could pass for straight.
Nowadays, all of the above is moot. More heterosexual men wear earrings than gay men. Now that the gay community is out and more accepted, using earrings to hint that one is gay is mostly obsolete.

Which ear should you get pierced if you are not gay?
I have heard that in some social circles, a pierced right ear on a man indicates that he is gay, while a left earring indicates that he is a sailor (or just fashionable). Both ears pierced on a man doesn't tend to imply anything. Straight men may also opt for nipple piercings, tongue piercings, nose piercings, etc, without having people think they're gay. In other words, if you're male and really concerned that people will think of you as gay, avoid the right ear.

What does it mean if a guy has a earring in his left ear only?
It's a probability that it is an old school piercing, left ear in males indicated they were not gay. However that's not the case any more because more and more males are getting both ears pierced and that whole gay not gay thing went out the door in the late 70's. That's also the same ear that sailors would get pierced once they achieved the status of ,"able bodied seaman".
What ear do straight girls wear 1 earring in?
The whole, left ear gay, right ear straight has pretty much slipped through the cracks of time. For the most part, women have predominately worn both ears pierced. If you want to do just one ear, there is no meaning behind just having one ear pierced. Pick an ear and put a whole in it! I would suggest that if you are just going to pierce one ear, have fun with it, and do multiple piercings in it. Example is to do like an industrial, or multiple cartilage piercings up the side. Something to make it look intentional so people are not asking if you lost an earring.
