Pink t-shirts on blokes... wrong or what?

**Babysis** · 01/07/2005, 8:36 AM

I say fair play to fellas who wear what they like(especially if they look good

).

Its an awful pity that some people still see it as Pink is for Girls, so a bloke wearing pink/looking after himself = Gay

You clearly do have a problem with it!
I could start having a problem with people who don't make any effort with their appearance.

Pink tshirts/ shirts are gay

**drinkfeckarse** · 01/07/2005, 8:39 AM

Pink t-shirts on men should be outlawed...soooooo wrong. In the good old days you'd have had the head kicked off you where I come from if you were caught wearing something like that

I think you'll find that inanimate garments don't have a sexuality of any kind!

No run along and pull little girls pigtails in the playground...

Wonderful comment at a time when gay hate crime is rife in Ireland.
Well done on preserving the mind of the Neanderthal.

prefer purple/green/brown/lilac/black/white

are you a hippy, with 10 different layers on??

**paul_oshea** · 01/07/2005, 8:54 AM

i just want to add to macys first post, what i have against it is the image its contruse i.e. ****** aka consultants/managers/wannabee managers, I have found wherever I go that a person who wears it in an office or wherever is trying to stand out and be noticed, in an office noticted for teh obvious reasons of promotion etc. its loud, it stands out and shows a sort of strenght of character. that is what i have against pink shirts etc.

people would want to be care ful on teh gay thing, if someones gay let them off, each to their own.......just keep to "themsleves!"

Not that much of a problem - I didn't start a thread on it.

How is wearing a pink T shirt suddenly the only way to make an effort with their appearance? It's the modern equivalent of a Loadsamoney T shirt - "everyone else has one, I must copy them"....

Pink t-shirts aren't the underlying issue here.

**Babysis** · 01/07/2005, 9:06 AM

Its personal choice isnt it? I think its rubbish to stereotype people becasue they choose to wear a certain colour T-shirt

It makes no sense at all. It sounds like a few of you have met a some arseholes who also happened to be wearing Pink T-shirts

Not everyone who wears pink is loud and looking to get ahead, nor are they gay

.

Chirst, its 2005, people should be able to dress any which way they like without being labeled with sterotypical views and assumptions.

I dont get it, Im not even going to try.

Come on you metrosexual fellas, bring on the pink T-shirts

...but i am cool though, so i can get away with it

That's not a bad point to bring up, Pete.
I've worn a Bohs shirt, Northern Ireland football shirt, Glasgow Rangers shirt, England rugby shirt etc. and the reaction of others has intrigued me.
It's as though they expected me to burst into flames or dissolve like a plastic doll in a bath of acid. It's so peculiar how people can be offended by a garment. It doesn't have a voice or a political opinion. We take offence to what it represents or it's associated with. That's understandable, to a certain degree, with badged sporting apparel but people here are taking offence to a colour!?

Perhaps some of you need to think about what it is that you're really finding offensive and why.

**Macy** · 01/07/2005, 9:17 AM

Just because people think they look gay doesn't make them raging homophobes and gay bashers ffs. If I said it made them look like a woman would it be sexist too?

Who's offended? Only some reactionary trying to hard to be PC....

**fosterdollar** · 01/07/2005, 9:22 AM

It's not pink, it's salmon...

If you're referring to me then you're well wrong about me 'trying to hard to be PC.' I'm just being me. Someone who likes to wear what I like without having people saying that my clothes look gay. Can you read over your comments without thinking they're petty and sad?
