So... gay people actually have a cultural advantage for once. That's a rare one.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Pussies.
Straight men then: No matter what I do, I still hate the idea of sucking another man's dick!
Straight men now: If I clean my ass too much I may want to suck another man's dick.
Men are not afraid of being perceived as gay. Only insecure weirdos that need therapy are afraid of that.
I've met a handful of straight men who were not afraid to be perceived as gay and humorously played along. They were usually the coolest guys in the room. Hell, the confidence alone made them more attractive, but I don't go there.
I'm a queer enby and I do the little circle below the waist gesture, with my hand, to get my friend's (my infinitely heteronormative friend) attention and then tell him because he looked he's gay now. This is something the cis-boys in highschool used to joke around about because being gay was THE WORST thing you could be perceived as. I think it's harmless with my friend though he does get flustered that he's not gay and it's kinda cute.
You must be young still. I don't deny that - as you say - in school being perceived as gay was kind of bad / an insult, but that was us growing up in an atmosphere of toxic masculinity. I have matured beyond that and would laugh at such a prank.

There's nuances to everything. My oldest "heteronormative" friend and I sometimes call each other honey and blow a kiss into the air, without being serious about it nor meaning it to mock people.
The only reason for a man to be so concerned about another man's sexuality, is they want to be a part of it.
Yep, which is why homophobes talk about (man on man) anal sex waaaaay more than gay men.

So gay men follow outdated fashion trends? Who knew? Still, destroying nature as a fashion statement is a bit too fashion forward.
This is the original article the bitly link points to:
https://psmag.com/environment/how-gender-stereotypes-affect-pro-environment-behavior/
I see nowhere in there talking about anyone actually 'avoiding green behavior to avoid being considered gay', in real life.
The studies mentioned are surveys of hypothetical people, and its conclusion is something that's already known and obvious: the more things you do that are associated with the stereotype of the sex you aren't, the more likely it is that the average person will assume (correctly or not, but that's beside the point) you are gay.
The only distinction is that they were looking only at how some 'acts of environmentalism' are stereotypically aligned with femininity, but the above is true of literally everything that's stereotypically aligned with either femininity or masculinity.
"Suggests" is used in the screenshotted tweet to manipulate the reader into assuming things are taking place, without any evidence they actually are.
This post is disingenuous tripe.

So dumb. I love my big bag. There is a store where I can grab a scanning "gun" and walk along adding my items into my bag. Then it's a really quick checkout at the self serve machine.
I'll wear a pink tutu to the store if I so decide. I'm a man, I don't care how I'm perceived.
Ok over it.

I use multiple reusable bags every time I go shopping and I've only kissed one man. How do I become even more ~~gay~~ green?
