I am a male who has a piercing on my right ear at the top. I need to know what is the significance with regards to sexual orientation and specifically so in Sri Lanka where i am residing right now. I have been informed that a piercing in the right ear signifies gay orientation but i have been told otherwise too. and does the site of piercing matter? earlobe? top of the ear?

People say it about the top of both sides of the ear, and not just in Sri Lanka, I hear it all the time in the U.S.
It depends on other factors, for example, if you look "punk", than people won't associate it with gay, or if you have multiple piercings, or if you work it.
But some people even think a guy is guy for having any ear piercing, even the lobe.
In the end, you just have to know if you like it and forget other peoples opinions.

Personally, I think one very small earring in the left ear is fine. Anything else looks "affected" and screams I don't know what to do so I'll just overdo. Then it just looks stupid. Less is more in everything.
