"Left ear buccaneer, right ear queer."

In the 80s, the right ear was the “queer ear”. You got that pierced, you were telling the world you were gay.

A risky thing to do, since broadcasting you were gay could get you beaten up or even murdered.

(No small wonder many gay people stayed in the closet, which was horrible in its’ own way, but at least didn’t marginalize you or carried the risk of getting you injured or killed.)

Btw, piercing the left ear meant you were straight....or a top.
