It's a long held stereotype that gay men walk faster than straight men – whether or not it's true, experts say it has some health benefits.

    If I were gay, I’d probably walk fast as fuck because I’m afraid some random homophobic piece of sh!t could attack me.

        If you think this stuff only happens in America, then I congratulate you. You have no idea how hard LGBT+ members have it.

    You know every day I find another thing about me that’s incredibly gay. If I were heterosexual I think I might be concerned…

      You know I am hetero, and the more I live the more I find out I do gay things.

      I used to think that me being gay came down to if I wanted to bang another guy or play his dick or something.

      Now that I’m in my 40s, I’ve been told I do all sorts of gay things. Like think dogs and cats are cute. I said “aww look at the puppy” and some guy asked me if I was gay as a response. I was also told using your tip toes to reach something is gay. Now I find out my normal quick walking pace is gay.

      All these rules are confusing. I think straight guys think about what makes gay people gay way too much.

        Giving you an upvote because I’m genuinely curious what kind of people you’re surrounded by if they’ve convinced you all that is “gay”. 😭

    Lol so all these people I’m seeing walking around at 2 mph are just extra straight. Guess I have some feelings to work out since I walk faster than that…

    I didn’t actually know this was a stereotype? Is it actually one or just something this writer pulled out of their ass?

    We’re trying to gentrify a neighborhood, you can’t do that at a leisurely pace, it’s dangerous!

    This is a dumb article. “Light cardio is healthier than no cardio, science finds after years of wasting a shitton of money research”.
