am i going to be the one who addresses the earring on the right ear?


will had an earring on but it was on his right ear the whole movie and not one on his left ear. not trying to cause much debate about this but that is the cultural reference for being gay right? or is that no longer the case?

I think Will is far too quirky and wrapped up in his own world to know, let alone care about, this kind of cultural thing.

That may have been a cultural cue 10 years ago but it no longer applies to current culture. I have multiple straight male friends with their left ears pierced, as well as right ears. At least in my circle of friends (20-something college graduates) it no longer signifies anything.

it no longer signifies anything

Except a herd mentality.

Having an ear ring signifies a herd mentality??


And to comment on the OP, I haven't heard that since I was like...5? And even then, it was something my father said, and he's never been "current" with the trends and whatnot. I think it's safe to say that no one cares what ear is pierced anymore
