His Little Red Dress

If a man is wearing a little red dress or skirt for a charity event, does that make him gay?

Every year, a unique and vibrant red dress charity event is held on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. This event, which aims to raise awareness and funds for a specific cause, sees men and women from all walks of life donning red dresses. This year, the event sparked a heated debate about men’s attire, a topic that I couldn’t ignore.

Some were obviously gay and twisting and turning, looking fabulous, and then some were swaggy and very masculine. From the videos and pictures, it is clear that many of the men were accompanied by their wives or girlfriends.

However, the fact that these men were wearing dresses or skirts at a charity event brought their sexuality into question. This situation highlights the pervasive societal pressure for individuals to conform to traditional gender norms, which often leads to assumptions and stereotypes about a person’s sexual orientation based on their clothing choices. 

Different types of men

  1. Creative 
  2. Traditional
  3. Modern
  4. Gentlemen
  5. Adventurous
  6. Intellectuals
  7. Stylish 
  8. Androgynous

These are just a few types, and each has a different comfort level. The more traditional male may not feel comfortable dressing in a dress or skirt with his wife in order to support a charity. However, the creative, androgynous, and adventurous male might throw on that dress and laugh, dance, and have a good time.

So the big question is, does wearing a dress or skirt make him gay or fun or BOTH?

My Opinion

It’s a charity event, designed for everyone to have fun and donate money to a worthy cause. If you feel that your husband is gay because he chose to have a good time with you and wear a goofy-looking dress, then perhaps it’s time to call it quits. Now, as you can see, I said “GOOFY” for a reason. 

If he chose to wear a sexy gown or a skin-tight mini skirt, I might have questions: Is he doing this for the charity event, or is he trying to send a message to me?

What are your thoughts?

  2. I think people have gotten so hung up on what is feminine and masculine and what isn’t. “A charity event,” would have been the end of it for me. I don’t care either way. Wear the red dress, mini skirt, ballroom gown, etc. Get that money for the event and keep it moving.

  4. My opinion is basically that what someone see’s in another person from what they’re wearing is based on their own biases and narratives. It speaks nothing to the the person in the clothes.
    A man or woman in a red dress is a man or woman in a red dress. 🙂

  5. 👗👗👗 Typically we wear red dresses during Wear Red Day when people show their support for the awareness of women’s heart disease. For a charity, I think it’s tongue and cheek and a great Fundraiser.

    Indigenous women recognize the red dress as a powerful symbol to raise awareness about the ongoing crisis and call for action to end violence against indigenous women and girls (observed on Red Dress Day). Thanks for spotlighting Queen B! 💖

  7. Everyone has the right to express themselves freely without having their identity reduced to stereotypes or assumptions.

    Clothing is simply one of many ways we can celebrate individuality, creativity, and shared causes.
