lezbi-honest. not all people who are gay, "look" gay.
not wearing a lot of makeup, or dressing more tom-boyish isn't as important of a detail than we think. it can be a sign, but- not always.
heres some other cool signs
always drawing girls
posters on the wall of female celebrities, or a phone background. and always talking about a certain celebrity
(gay celebrity crushes are really common, and a super common early sign ur kid is gay)
way too attached to that one specific friend who is a girl.... may come off as obsessed with her.
may talk more about the girlfriends than guys, or not speak of guys at all. may appear to care more about the girls in their life, or one specific girl- spends more time talking to them, making efforts to be around them etc.
may even say that dating boys isn't for them, that they don't understand what other girls are attracted to about boys, or complain about not getting along with their girl friends because they can't relate to them.
you may catch them smiling at their phone a certain way, only when texting a certain girl.
there is a lot said in the way they look at someone as well.
their face may light up talking about them, or when they're with them. they just seem exceedingly happier or more at ease.
or may only speak positively about them, may speak positively about them excessively, or reference them constantly. "xyz would love this..." "oh that reminds me of xyz" "one time, xyz said this thing." "when me and xyz were hanging out..."
may also defend them, when you say you don't like them or something they do.
touchy feely with girls, makes any excuse to touch them. always touching them somehow
cuddles with their girl friends
has a subtle affinity for rainbows- but claims its not a gay thing. may claim to be an ally and speak passionately about lgbt rights.
is close friends or in circles with people who are outwardly gay, or are members of lgbt clubs
follows a ton of gay people on social media, (youtube, tumblr, twitter, instagram). may even be a really big fan of them.
like me and jeffree star, who's notorious for being androgynous and gay. lol.
they may like them for their content or their personality, but it may be because they feel like they really identify with them.
may even be mildly obsessed, like with the gay celebrities thing.
