Being openly gay can cause problems in gyms, stuff like that, cause guys think “Are you looking at me?”. I think that’s also why so much opposition to gays in the military.
I have been to gyms, and let me tell you something, in the locker rooms at the gyms where guys are walking around naked in the showers and going into the saunas naked and whatnot, it sure seems like there are a Hell of a lot of queers just hanging around in those locker rooms not doing much of anything, just taking their times. And a lot of weird dudes hanging around naked in the saunas too. Not too many gays in the gym as a whole, but Hell yeah they seem congregate where the nude guys are. I got so many weird vibes on those locker rooms.
Some gyms also have “gay days.” At one gym it was like Tuesdays and Thursdays I think. I used to go there all the time I noticed that on Tuesdays and Thursdays there were not many guys at the gym. And I got a lot of weird vibes.
Then I went in the jacuzzi afterwards and it was nothing but guys of all ages (there are often women in the jacuzzi). I thought, “Ok, this is normal.” Then I sat in that jacuzzi for a while with all those guys, and they were all chatting and after a while I was like, “Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. WTH is going on in this jacuzziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!? WTF!” Weird viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibes. What do they mean? My head was spinning. Slowly I start to put it together and, “Oh no, here we go again. All these guys must be queer. All of them?” You look around at each one. “Yep, all of them.”
If you have been around a lot of these guys like I have, making those judgements is pretty much as clear as air.
This happened a few times and then I figured it all out. Apparently Tuesdays and Thursdays were Gay Days at gym! Informally of course, not officially. The guys going to the gym had simply worked out an informal arrangement like this.
Probably the gays got together and decided to all go on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Probably it was normal for a while but a lot of the straight guys were picking up the strange vibes and started thinking, “Whoaaaaaa! Something weird happens to this gym on Tuesdays. The place gets all fagged out. Screw this. No more Tuesdays for me!”
Apparently that went on for a while until the straight regulars had all dropped out. Any newbies like me showing up figured out the game real quick and probably most were like me, “Damn, this place needs a Keep Out sign on Tuesdays! Fuck this gym!” Most probably figured out the game after a bit, and just started going on the regular days like I did.
