In the 90s, it was stylish to wear just a single earring. However, navigating this fashion trend had some pitfalls as it could be seen as signaling a certain affiliation - straight or gay - depending on which ear you got pierced.

No one ever mentions the old saying that goes like this: left is right, right is wrong. I thought anyone that grew up in 70s and 80s knew that.

Not for nothing but this is how we start our Monday meetings.

Right ear: openly gay
Left ear: closeted gay
Both ears: very very very gay

And then there are Hispanic families that pierce babies ears.
I'm Mexican-American and my left ear was pierced when I was about 2 months or so.

[@tummytimetv]

[@jlprescott7243]

So thats how we tell them apart now. Good with me.

Just be careful. Sometimes dudes wear a big right earring and a small, somewhat unnoticeable left earring. Don’t want to be caught lacking if you’re out here trolling for dudes. Also, this info was recent as of August 1993 there might be updates to the literature but we’ve not dived deep into the white papers.
