Forgive me if this item seemed really far out, but perhaps I should ask
it in simpler terms-- what are the current trends in glb culture, what
were the trends in glb culture, and did politics have anything to do
with it?

Yeah. How did you tell who was a homosexual and who wasn't then and
now? Is there some tried and true way?

Forgive the drivel in resp:0 . From the bit of research I've done and
the few people I've talked to, much of the fashion that indicated
particular preferences in sex has been changed or altered since it's
become common knowledge. I went to http://elf.halycon.com and checked
out the hanky guide, which is quite long-- I question how anyone could
remember the entire list-- but it has been long defunct before it was
posted to the site. The color meanings were a quick signal in noisy gay
bars.
I read elsewhere in the site that left and right positioning, especially
of keys and handcuffs, have remained fairly consistent, but they have no
verifiable meaning with earrings.
<pause-- be right back>

I know the leather community has their own codes, but I was told they
can change (to keep them secret, I suppose). Currently, a collar means
you're taken. The Goth community adds a chain on the collar to mean the
same thing.
I dunno.
One day gay codefashion, next day's style?

well, actually, I did some research on D/s, and a lone collar does still
mean you're taken-- the community is not all gay.
However, I was at www.halycon.com/elf and took a look at the hanky
guide-- a code which is now defunct.
