'Free Range' - crazy Estonian arthouse film. Takes some patience - but worth watching, even if just to have a look at the main character who I think is both icredibly ugly and incredibly good looking at the same time. Or maybe it is just that he is so ugly you can't take your eyes of him...
Nothing wrong with anyone wearing them, of course. But I don't think it looks so great on all guys. My brother used to wear them the whole time (but he went quite far with it, like with pearls from mesenso) and I liked that.
Back to the gay thing, isn't there a 'rule'? Like gay men wear and ear...
I don't know how advanced you are, but this site here is good for your listening practice. (And it gives you and interesting Germanic perspective on things.)
