What?? I’m a heterosexual woman who adores caribiners & inadvertently have them on display everywhere all the time, strictly for their functionality. Do you suppose everyone thinks I’m a lesbian and I had no idea I’ve been inadvertently giving that signal? I am so embarrassed. Please tell me you’re joking. I’m gonna have to go reconfigure my backpack & hide all my caribiners, aren’t I?
also, for complex societal reasons, lesbians just tend to like things where carabiners are used, such as bouldering. based on that, carabiners have then used by some to signal that they’re lesbian (i haven’t heard of anyone using it to signal availability, that seems like it would lead to confusion very easily). important to keep in mind that carabiners are still worn primarily for their function for most people, including lesbians (that’s how it caught on)
what is it with grlz and carabieners?..
Lesbians.
Its common to wear your keychain externally on a carabiener to show you’re an interested and available lesbian to other lesbians.
Its similar to the handkerchief codes used by gay men.
hmmm well then iguess i have to get some… sigh
