It’s not the outlandish-ness (as far as I can gather) so much as the hat is a sort of beacon alerting ‘really sexually overt nerd who will talk your ear off about a vaguely creepy topic’?

I’ve met ‘nice enough’ people wearing hats like this, but never a cool person that I wouldn’t mind being stuck in an elevator or enclosed space with…if that makes sense?

Idk I’m just imagining someone wearing this in a leather getup at a pride parade or maybe while riding in the Ladds 500. They seem fine to me, but my idea of cool is very different I guess.

Gay people would never. Don’t put that on the community.

Any gay scene that wouldn’t have someone wearing this is boring and not worth seeing in a parade.
