Malaysian newspaper publishes 'how to spot a gay' checklist

Given how easily duped humans are, you just know that some people are going to swallow the paper's checklist as if it were solid truth.

I would be in serious trouble if I still had my beard.

Strange, I have worked with and known a few gay men over my life and none of them fit the traits in the Malaysian list. Perhaps they were just faking it?

Nothing like a little "bogus truth" to liven up a newspaper's circulation while risking people's lives, eh?

Dare we ask what they think of mustaches?

Hey! One gay guy that I used to work with had a mustache. Perhaps there is something to this list after all.

That nails it! The newspaper is spot on! I'd also like to add that I myself know a lesbian who has a career, rather than being a housewife. Obviously, any woman with a career must be a lesbian!

"They stated that gay men were easy to identify because of their love of beards"

And they are holding hands in public too. Brazen hussies!

After giving this a little more thought, since Malaysia is a mostly Muslim country and the high percentage of bearded Muslims, I wonder if the reporter was assigned this story and decided to troll his editor a bit by describing men that could be devout Muslims. Sort of a variation on Poe's law.

We need a "That's interesting" emoji.

I am an expert at spotting the gays, I hear they are up to all sorts of trickery in public. Matter of fact I think the OP may be one of these gays like the paper said.

I have never been wrong when it comes to spotting a gay, afterall I could easily tell Hugh Hefner was gay .

I highly doubt it as, if discovered, repercussions could be fatal.

One wonders how they were able to discern this. Jus' sayin"

A while ago @Debater Slayer teased us with the promise of new emojis. I requested this one,

but he cruelly dashed my dreams against the rocks as all my pleas were to be in vain

I think you should use your RF gravitas to make this happen (also a clown emoji, that you can put after super very very obvious jokes that are obviously not to be taken seriously to stop people from taking them seriously)

I detect lesbians by watching for comfortable shoes.
They have very practical fashion sense....very blue
collar guy sensibility. This is good.

You're on to me. Blast!

If no one else will say it, then I will.....
The "religion of peace" strikes again.

Making love, sex, & being fabulous into prisonworthy crimes is not peaceful.

Disclaimer:
I know that many Muslims are more tolerant than this.
Nonetheless, I see a tendency in Islamic theocracies to oppress others.

I'm less concerned with the specific contents of the checklist than I am with the idea that someone would want a checklist to spot gay people.

Even if it was 100% accurate, it's still presumably a tool to help identify people for harrassment or worse. The problem with inaccurate gay-bashing is the "bashing" part, not the "inaccurate" part.

That's exactly what I was trying to imply.
