My friend mentioned that he's wearing a pirate costume for Hallowe'en. Another friend cautioned him, saying "you know, if you wear pirate gear, you're telling people that you're gay". Well, I had never heard this before, but if anyone knows it's you folks here. So is it true? Is a pirate costume on a man a code for gayness, like an earring in his right ear? Or is it just another silly rumor?
Thanks!

I'm sorry, I just can't believe some of the ignorance that's out there sometimes.
Definitely a rumor.

Well, when i think of pitrates costume, I get the movies "Pritaes fo the Car..." the main character wasn't close to being gay(maybe as in happy/drunk gay) more like a ladies man.. I guess it came from the idea that pirates/marines are all men on the ships and some would prob. be gay. People might say differently regarding earings(left/right ear). But personally I wouldn't get the kind of message... only if i see two pirates huggin...

Rumor!
The only way you would be able to tell people you were gay in a pirate costume, is to wear a pirate costume, a sign that says "I'm Gay" and go to a gay bar....
Maybe there are other "codes" that I don't know about yet.

NO, he's just a guy wearing a pirate costume for Hallowe'en.

It's a silly rumor. It could mean he's Pastafarian. It could mean his girlfriend really likes Johnny Depp. My stepdad dressed as a pirate one year and the ladies at the senior center are still talking about it. He's straight as an arrow and so are the ladies.

Boy oh Boy this is news to me. I think if he wants to wear a pirate outfit it means that he wants to be a pirate - not gay.

Pirate are tough manly men who eat candy. Whether they like tacos or burritos is not the issue
