Possibilities:<\/p>\n<p>1.  Ignorant child who uses the term &#8220;gay&#8221; to mean &#8220;lame&#8221;.  Answer:  no, it is not lame to wear boots with other types of clothing, such as breeches (ask a cop), khaki or other &#8220;dress casual&#8221; pants for work (ask an office worker in the summer), BDUs (ask anyone in the military), or leather (ask a biker.)<\/p>\n<p>2.  You are homophobic, and are afraid that someone else might call you &#8220;gay&#8221; because you may choose to wear boots with different types of pants (such as listed in #1).  Answer:  there isn&#8217;t much I can do for your troubled soul other than to pray that you will grow up some day.<\/p>\n<p>3.  You might be considering wearing boots with no other clothing.  Answer:  please don&#8217;t.

Anything but your bare butt and you&#8217;ll be fine.)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we go again: someone searched, &#8220;is it gay to wear boots without jeans?&#8221; Hmmm&#8230; this could be taken a number of ways.
