Is it ok for boys to wear pink?

I really love pink clothes but people seem to think I look weird or lame.

Do you think it effects your masculinity? Are you gay? Wear whatever you are comfortable wearing. If you lack confidence, work on that. Has nothing to do with pink.

Hi, I’m not gay but a lot of people think that I am, I don’t mind that too much but it can be scary sometimes as other boys can be aggressive towards me. I wear pink clothes sometimes and a lot of people seem to think that it’s wrong or that I’m strange. @PoetryNEmotion

@Strongtea Well, some people are not comfortable in their masculinity and they want to hurt others who don't fill the stereotypes of what are typical males. So they get aggressive or even violent. You have to do what is right for you. You are old enough to do this. If you live in a smaller town, likely the negative attention is stronger. People in bigger cities are more tolerant, in general.

Thankyou. Yep I live in quite a small town so it can be a little bit hard going if you stand out a little bit. I have said some horrible things to people when I was a bit younger in order to fit in so maybe I deserve it a little bit. I will continue to dress how I want though so I do appreciate your advice. 😊@PoetryNEmotion
