No, most don't. In the 1980's, it was the right ear that you were supposed to pierce if you were a gay guy. The left ear was the "cool" ear to pierce. But now, guys get both ears pierced, and nobody takes it to mean that they are gay.
if you are a guy and have earrings, it depends on what ear it's on, if its on the right ear your not, just for fashion and if it's on the left ear ( also called the gay ear if you have a earring on it) yes and if you have both on...... FO-SHO
most lads have earrings on there left ear.
Great answer. I'm a staight man who wears an earring in my left ear. After I got my earring in my left ear, the bug bit me to pierce my right ear. It totally hit me. I had to get that earring in my right ear. I
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.
right
Unless they choose to wear them elsewhere they still wear then on there ring finger of the left hand.
The left ear should be the correct ear to be pierced. If you get your left ear pierced your not gay if you get your right you are gay but if you get both it means nothing.
It actually depends on the orientation of the man, if he's gay or bisexual, he wears it on his left ear. If he's straight he wears it on his right ear.
No you can be gay or not gay whether the man wears an earring or not. Earrings do not make you or anyone else gay. It's simply an earring, a bit of decorative wire; it has no magical gay powers. Nor does being gay cause you to wear earrings any more than it makes you wear socks.
the right ear is the so called "wrong" ear, and the left ear is the "right" ear. but I think it's stupid, I would just chose the side that I like the most if I wanted just one earring. does anybody care about witch side you chose anymore?but, it is the right ear that's for the gay earring.ANSWER:In 2010, it doesn't really matter. Some gay males have a earring in each ear. Also, some gay, straight, or bisexual individuals tend to pierce various parts of their bodies (both public and private parts of the human body).So, I don't believe anyone wearing an earring is wrong. But when you have them on your neck, lips, breast, tongue, or other areas; to many Americans it seems that these types of people either don't have much of a brain, or respect for their bodies, or they maybe just stupid. However, it may be a combination of all 3.
This is an outdated custom, but in the 1980's the gay side was the right ear.
No. This is an urban legend.
