How to Tell if your Cowboy is Gay?
I’m sitting in a movie theater in Hollywood, crying over two gay cowboys, when it occurs to me that I promised Sophia to go “country dancing” this Saturday at a bar in the Valley. What if there are some real cowboys there? I don’t want to offend anyone by saying the wrong thing. How do I know if a cowboy is gay? Luckily Brenner Thomas of Not Only But Also just got his “Brokeback Mountain” promotional bandanna and explains to his readers the traditional “gay hankie code.”
While not used as often as in the past, the color of a hankie in a gay man’s back pocket signals to the rest of the community what he’s into. The Brokeback Mountain promotional bandanna is navy. What does that mean?
I couldn’t remember. “Robin-egg blue is oral, fuchsia is something aggressive, like double-fisting or something.”
Brenner tries an experiment and walks around with the Brokeback Mountain hanky in his pocket, but he doesn’t get any comments or even a smile. What ever happened to tradition in the gay community?
Hopefully, this blog post will revive the arcane tradition. and just in case you were wondering:
A light blue hankie with yellow dots in the right pocket means you like to blow Asians. Houndstooth in the left pocket means you like to nibble.

I think that it’s important to remember that the boys of Brokeback Mountain were sheepherder (shepherds) and not really cowboys. There’s some anecdotal currency to that you know…

According to a few web sources, navy hankies indicate an interest in anal sex…. Left pocket = top, right pocket = bottom.
I wonder how you’re supposed to tell, say, magenta from fuschia in a dark bar….
