Originally, gay men who were 'top' wore an earring in their left ear and gay men who were 'bottom' wore an earring in their right ear. Later, a man with an earring in his left ear was presumed to be straight and a man with an earring in his right ear was presumed to be gay. Now, it just means someone likes to wear an earring.

No, I really don't think so. Maybe 20 years ago but I've been out with guys that had both ears pierced & they weren't gay, & a friend of mine who is gay has his left ear pierced

this may be a very previous custom. Like in case you carry a black hankerchief then you relatively are into S and M. right replaced into directly or actual and left replaced into gay or backside. you ought to positioned on it on your right ear and nonetheless be gay. No adult adult males quite wore 2 ear rings.

Definitely not. That whole thing went out in the 80s. Anything goes now and it doesn't mean a person is or isn't gay.

That rule went out the window years ago.
What about both ears being pierced.

There was some stereotype years ago, but with how common piercings have become i the stereotype has gone out the window.

Why would a man who is not homosexual wear an earring?
