What is a gay chicken?

I don't know why but this sounds like something that should be featured either in the next Elder Scrolls game (Imagine trying to join the Dark Brotherhood, you walk up to the door and an eerie voice asks you: 'What is a gay chicken?') or in the next Deus Ex game as the first part of a pass phrase or something similar.

Guys do this and make fun of "female logic"?! What the hell, man, just what the fresh hell?!

It always amuses me to no end when people consider the opposite gender a sort of hive mind that shares responsibility for all their actions.

amusement ain't the word I'd use, but then again, I lost my sense of humor on the issue quite some time ago.

Just wait a bit, it's one of the later if not the last stages.

First comes anger, then annoyance, then apathy and finally amusement. Who knows what'll come next.

In the end one can't help but laugh at much of the stupidity people get up to (not to discount the many admirable and amazing things also achieved).

I guess this isnt too bad, if you stick to just the talking, it can be fairly fun then. Ill be happy to lose if it goes to touching tho, not a game I want to play.

girls play this all the time. It involved cheap vodka and bad music

I was once a gay chicken. But then I got old and fat.

I had never heard of this before now, and I'm a guy. Who lives on the internet.

I think it's safe to say most 'normal' guys probably don't do this. Though, you know, normal is a relative term...

not really, still makes sense. A lot of guys are jerks to their own friends from an outside perspective. Doing something which makes your friends uncomfortable like Gay Chicken still fits in that paradign (as does trash talking and pranks). Granted ive only seen frat guys play that game.

Hah my friend and I play gay chicken all the time. We're so comfortable with each other than most things won't phase us.. cept y'know if we kissed or had buttsecks or something but thank jesus we're not THAT comfortable

If you don't actually kiss, i'd wager neither of you are as comfortable as you claim.

EDIT: and this thread as a whole makes me want to listen to Bloodhound Gang, maybe because it takes me back to my gay chicken days. lol

We've seen each other naked. Close enough.

Spoiler: snip

for the record I'm gay and i don't find the concept offensive myself (i find very little offensive actually)

Do I ever believe you! [http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2011/08/1-out-of-3-young-iranian-men-gay/#comment-80762]

but instead rather funny. and when you have 2 competitive people playing, it just goes to show how not-fully-straight some straight people actually are,

Aw shit, son, now that you've folded it into the standard gay recruitment narrative, straights can't play an innocent game of gay chicken anymore without paperwork and disclaimers and 'no homos' abounding. And now a greater number of straights will pretend to be gay to get an opportunity to get girls through ridiculously complicated games of doublespeak.

Like most gay plans, it sounds okay on the surface, but just ends up making things more confusing for everybody.

which i think is a good thing as it could breed tolerance (I'm very competitive myself)

So, just to be clear, do you "breed" a "tolerance" when you win the game, or is this just the only socially acceptable way you have to leave the gay lifestyle without your crazier gay partners maliciously destroying whatever personal and professional bridges you want to keep with them?

anyway. discuss. I'm curious to see what people think (and if it becomes a thing)

I think you need to realize that it might be the nature of the lifestyle that's a problem [http://www.2blowhards.com/archives/2007/02/aids_and_immune.html] when the only way out is to start a new meme.

(Though it would most likely make a FABULOUS movie.)

I feel like this whole post should be magenta'd, but I can't tell for sure. :|

OT: Hm. I don't think so, since gay chicken is more about pushing your personal bounds while conforming to heteronormative social pressures, but homosexual culture really doesn't have the same kind of pressures. I guess you could just see how far you can push your own boundaries.

Don't get it. Never will. Not sure I want to.

That old joke about how much men know about women? The opposite applies too.

Besides, there's pranks, there's being a lighthearted jerk, then there's SEXUALLY FEELING EACH OTHER UP TO PLAY CHICKEN.

Guh....

I used to know a couple of girls who played chicken...with trains. On train tracks.

Girls are so weird!

A gay guy and a gay girl can't play "Straight Chicken", because everyone always assumes that people are straight, therefore they won't have the paranoia of strangers criticizing them. By "can't play", I don't mean "shouldn't play". I just mean, it loses the impact somewhat.

I once played "Gay Chicken" with my friend years ago, but I "chickened out" when he kept caressing my thigh and it was ticklish. But nowadays, I've done that, and a little more, to my friends, like saying some of the most homoerotic shit ever, or shoving their head into my crotch and telling them to "choke on it like a *****". Yeah, my group of friends and I are pretty weird.

...I envy your friends. I asked my friend to do this when I was in the closet and it was a resounding no. Very resounding, actually. You could hear it for blocks.

OT: Some people (quote) on this thread have said it wouldn't work since straight people don't have the stigma that gay people do, but...

I'm gay and if I had to kiss a girl in a sensual way, I would surely die. Nevermind anything more than that. So, I assure you, it would work. At least, for me.

Wait, so, like, real trains? How did these girls get trains? :O

1 hour ago: ?let?s see what the forum has for me today? *hardest facepalm ever*

Okay. After going through the concept of gay chicken in my head a few times and discussed it with a straight man (I also count as straight), two bi men and two gay men. (Sorry about not including girls on the counsel of sexuality but these were the only people available at the moment) we have come to the conclusion that gay chicken is THE! STUPIDEST! GAME! EVER! This just seam stupid. I could see myself doing this with one of my male friends once late at night as a joke. ONCE! But that?s probably it. This doesn?t look like a game I would have been playing a lot.
Also. I checked online. Turns out a lot of gay people are pissed off at this. To them I say. Grow up and get the f@£& over it. It?s not humiliating to the gay community it is just two people how made a game about staying in the closet. It doesn?t hurt you and just how does that ?bully? you. The way I see it they are kind of sort of honoring you by showing: dude look, I am comfortable with your sexuality.
