A Pierced Ear

In an incident when my grandma and I were watching something on television portraying a young asian male model with two pierced ears, and she sparks the question...


Grandma: ...which is the ear again with one piercing that signals you're gay? I forgot. It's either the left ear or the right ear. Which one is it?
Me: eh? HAHAHAHA oh grandma, that's so old school. people don't do that anymore.
Grandma: oh really? If a man only has one ear pierced doesn't it mean they're gay?
Me: That was a long time ago, like back in the 70s. Now it's trendy for young men to be straight and even get both ears pierced. It's just a style, to be fashionable. Doesn't mean they are gay.
Grandma: ....ohhh I see. Hmm, how times have changed.


This conversation definitely has shown how much progress and change has developed in this world. Our societies have definitely come a long way to allow social acceptance off all kinds of fashionable expression in our generations to come, and it's wonderful and exciting anticipating the ever changing growth and progression that will come in the future.
