I don't think wearing anything makes you gay. At this day in age you have some pretty eclectic people that like different things. Some do it for attention, some avoid it because of the attention, some don't care what you think. I think gay people are the ones who are into their own sex. That's it. You don't have to wear makeup, eyeliner, or dress in drag.

However..even today I bet the majority of people will relate it to an effeminate practice. Especially if you are not into goth styles..which I am assuming you are not? Otherwise, I think a lot of people may have some different inputs on the matter.
