i’m a freshman, hoping to be a golfer at the highschool. and my father says that if you don’t wear a ribbon/bow in your hair that means you’re a lesbian. i am NOT a lesbian. but is it true???
While it does appear to be the new in-thing being done by some "girly-girls" playing golf, and some trying to add a little style or twist of their own to their wardrobe to differentiate themselves from other players – unless your father is suggesting he has some intrinsic insight into lesbian-ism, and lesbians in general, that differentiates from common knowledge as everyone else knows it, I would then suggest you ask your father what basis he is using to speak from such an experienced mind set.
While there have been some well-documented lesbian professional golfers, none of which I ever remember having worn a bow in their hair (though during the same era, seemingly, few if any of the straight ones did either), I tend to think your father is just weird or freaking out (maybe he’s scared of lesbians, LOL).
Just thinking back in recent history, the last two No.1 woman pros in the world were both straight (Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa), at least they got married to men while they were on tour and both quit the game under the auspices of pursing a heterosexual relationship and motherhood, and neither of them did the bow in the hair thing, and instead chose a common visor (with their sponsor’s logo)……hhhmmmmm
Fact remains, wearing a bow is no more going to differentiate anyone from a lesbian, or is some secret sign for being straight, any more than having a short hair-do makes a woman butch or a dyke or a lesbian.
If you want to wear a bow, go for it.
If you don’t want to wear a bow, don’t.
Either way it says little about your sexuality or sexual preferences.
