Hahaha... yeah.That is so 80's!
I remember the whole gay/straight ear piercing thing. The version I heard was left = straight, right = gay,
And I was told if you wear a flower on your right ear, you are looking for a partner, and on the left, your taken!
And what's more, I was told recently if I see any men wearing a bracelet, he is a gay too!!
I was on active duty during the '70s and I never saw a military man wearing an earring. I served with many Vietnam vets and never saw them wearing earrings. I remember seeing bikers wearing earrings.
Maybe it depended on the location.
True! Let me ask my husband because he is a military if they should wear earring for active duty. I really don't care about 60's 70's. I am talking about today.I did not say they were wearing earrings during active duty, or during enlistment.

I used to be in the Army Active duty. You can't wear an earing when you are in uniform, or even in your exercise outfit. When you are in your "Civis" also known as Civilian clothes you can wear or dress how ever you wish as long as it is within the law of the city.
Thank you!!
I have a very good friend whose uncle was in the Navy during the 30's and 40's. He has, among other piercings, a Prince Albert piercing that he received while in the Navy. Of course, that one wouldn't show when he was in uniform!
Ouch ouch ouch!!! lol. I used to have my nipples pierced and I took them out once I joined and never had them in since.
And I say "ouch, ouch ouch!!!" to nipple piercings!
Well all I can say is.... Soooo? :roll: Please excuse my ignorant because I am the guy that wear earrings, but now I don't wear them anymore because always cause infection and the silver earrings are too expensive to be variable.
In #39 you mentioned men wearing earrings in the 60's and 70's. All I'm saying is that neither I nor Hubby ever saw any military men, on duty or off duty, during the 70's, wearing earrings. Once they were discharged, there would be no way by just looking at men in a crowd to know whether or not they were Vietnam veterans. But I don't recall seeing many men wearing earrings during that period. It didn't seem popular back then. Most guys were wearing their hair longer then anyway, so it would be hard to tell.I did not say they were wearing earrings during active duty, or during enlistment.
