I was just talking with a coworker (a female) and we were on our 10 minute break when another coworker (a male) came.

We all greeted each other. He went and hugged her first, and then when he went to greet me he opened his arms as if he was going to hug me, so I went for the hug as it didn't seem like a big deal to me. We hugged for like a fraction of a second until he realized that he did a mistake while saying some dumb shit like "Pause man. My bad, idk why the fuck are we hugging. We ain't supposed to be hugging I ain't gay" all while doing some gesture of him cleaning himself. I just looked at him dumbfounded and said, it's just a damn hug man it's not that serious

Afterwards he greeted me with a dap saying how that's how we're supposed to greet each other and left to start his shift. I then turned around to my other coworker and asked her wtf happened? She was just laughing the entire time and just said that two guys hugging looks does look funny.

I just told her straight up how come you can hug another female and no one will think you're gay or how you can hug a male and no one will think that you're trying to get into their pants but all of a sudden if two males decide to hug then that means that they're gay and all the rainbows come out? Fuck out of here with that nonsense.

Then we dropped the conversation and went on with our lives, but that whole situation still got me thinking on why are we like this?
