Well it was only twice in the 20+ years I've been going to bars, and I don't shy away from a gay bar.

Depends on the bar, but gay bars can actually be pretty chill. Everyone there was really nice and the atmosphere is fun.
The first time we went in, we were super awkward, and a nice older guy saw us standing in the doorway and kinda scooped us up and showed us around the place (coat check, pool/games area, etc). It gave us the warm fuzzies. :)
Both my SO and I aren't straight, but people are pretty respectful and nice at that bar, and I wouldn't feel unwelcome even if I was batting for the other team.
Choosing the urinal next to another man.
Really feels kinda gay, though, especially when the dude next to you squints over.
I was a dumbass accidentally once. Three urinals, I chose the middle one. A father and son walk in and have a conversation through my head, across the top of me peeing.
Go for an end urinal guys. Just sayin.

I can do anything.
Clean my ass
The one and only thing was the way I held my wrists/hands when I was younger/into my teens. What's super weird is it was my dad who brought it up and mentioned it a lot but he is super supportive of lgbtq+ that's the weird thing to me.
