Gay Hanky Code
A traditional form of signaling to others what your sexual preferences and interests are. Gay men used this code to communicate with each
other in the noisy and distracting environment of gay bars.
The Hanky Code is a traditional form of signalling to others what your sexual preferences and interests are. Gay men use this code to communicate
with each other in the noisy and distracting environment of the gay bar scene. Although not as widely used these days, it is still a worthwhile resource
and is, among those who know, a great conversation starter.
Hankies are usually worn in either the back left or right pockets, however, they can also be worn around the wrist, around the ankle or leg at the
thigh above the knee, or around the neck with the knot/tie going either right or left. Other objects can also be used such as keys and key chains or
watch fobs and even a set of handcuffs (Bondage), to let people know if you are 'top' or ʼnbottom'. Left = Top/Active and Right = Bottom/Passive.
If worn in the back on the centre belt loop, it translates as 'versatile'.
