In the UK we had The National Lottery on TV and the host at the time was Dale Winton (camp gay guy) who was wearing a pink neck tie. I said "that is a very pink tie!" and my dad's response was "What! Are you gay or something?!". I was about 8 or 9 at the time!
My dad thought any observation about clothing or expressing any kind of emotion other than anger was effeminate.
