... People on this forum should know better than to make marsupialed blanket statements about how clothing affects your sexuality (it doesn't)
Cause and effect are reversed: an item of clothing obviously can't make you gay. Jungle prints are worn in large part (over 90%?) by females so it's seen as a very girly pattern. Gay guys are on the whole more effeminate than straight guys (yes, I realize not all of them). If you wear a pattern that's seen as girly you're trying to go for a more effeminate look, which is fine. Wearing pink or purple is on the low end and probably won't make a large impression, and wearing jungle print would be on the far other end and seen as extremely effeminate and thus probably gay. Seems like a logical conclusion? It's just a cultural thing.. in a different time and place it might be reversed, much like colors have reversed (pink used to be masculine and light blue was feminine). It's sort of annoying that if someone refers to an item and says "this is gay" then it's the turn of the other person to get offended and say, "I've seen straight guys rock that!" Like, are there allowed to be items and styles associated with gay culture?
