Me: There's no way that's true
Me, after web searching: Huh...
Context: They have a betting game called "Jogo do bicho" (Animal game, direct translation). Number 24 corresponds to deer, which is "veado" in portuguese - which is very similar to"viado", which is a slur for gay people persons.
I still doubt these candles are popular though.
Straight men have a 23+1 hr schedule every day. The extra hour is for secret gay time.
Just going to say that looks way more gay than the number 24....
The more you try to avoid looking gay, the more gay you look. It's funny coming from a place as gay as Brazil.
Can confirm, I was gay that year.
Don't put the word anus after it then!
If they are worried about seeming gay, why are they decorating their cake with 23+1 sparkly magic Spanish anuses? Seems preeeetty gay....
For those confused, in Portuguese (which they speak in Brazil), "ano" is year. But in Spanish "año" is year, and "ano" is anus. Also the blue seems speckled or glittery (unclear in the picture) and it says in the corner that it has a magic wick.
I am ashamed to be a member of a race that cannot have a floor 13 in a building in some countries, or a floor 4 (or floor with the number 4) in others just because of an outdated superstition.
But this somehow feels even dumber.
Aside from the homophobia, they still get birthday cakes with candles that say their age when they are 24?
Is it because of Jeff Gordon? Is that why 24 is gay?
That's pretty gay
So if you want to look extra gay, your candle says 24+/-x to get your age.
I don’t know if it’s the same in Portuguese, but in Spanish, “anos” (without the ñ) means anuses. So… 23 + 1 anuses. Sounds pretty gay.
That's a lot of candle for something that's going to burn for less than a minute.
23 + 1 assholes, totally not gay /s
Funny, because straight men worry about whether they might be or might be perceived as being gay all the time.
til "years" in Portuguese is spelled like "anus" in Spanish
Oh yes, my sexuality is protected 🫦
Having candles on your birthday cakes at all is pretty gay at that age
TIL my birthday is gay
I dunno. That one looks a little phallic, could still be a little gay. Why not do 22+2 just to be completely safe? This isn't something you want to mess around with.
Nevermind the pretty pink cake for a good little boy this goes on.
But they’re happy with an anos on their cake.
Now over to Colin Poppshed at the Gay Desk
I'm just jealous 23+1 year old men get their birthday celebrated there.
and we're the "snowflakes"
