Yes, I have had conversations with people about this.
Consensus: some people might think you look gay, but most wont so who cares

They used a homophobic slur because of your jacket, they should be ignored regardless of the jacket around the waist being trendy or not.
Also I've seen men do it plenty, and given gay folk are as varied as straight folk even if it's something some gay folk do it's certainly not something all do or claim as their own.

I don't think it makes people look gay, to me it just makes them look preppy and rich.

Consensus is the same as always. If you look good you can prob pull it off.

Associate it with kids in the 90s when we used to play there were usually some kids who did that.

Were you on your way to see a Nirvana cover band in Seattle?
If I get hot, I do that with a jacket if I don't wanna carry it sometimes. Then again, I'm old, I'm a dad, and I don't give a shit what people think (also Nirvana was a part of my glory days). I especially wouldn't care what some asshole thought who felt it is okay to use a slur like that around me.

Are we talking about taking your coat off when it becomes hot and tying the arms about your waist? If that's a gay/straight thing that's stupid as fuck.

If you're tying a jacket around your waist cuz of utility/it's hot, who cares.
If you tied a flannel around your waist in 80+ degree weather that's played out af and you a little corny tbh.

Who cares? If it's hot do what you want. Why the hell would you care about what seems to be some random homophobes opinion? Fuck em

I've done it recently with a hoodie I had. No shame in my game.

Bobby from Twin Peaks does it.
Don't do it.

First post nails it, if you're hot you can get away with any look.

listen to the mad man
It's not a very popular aesthetic decision anymore because of the increased availability of breathable fabrics. If the weather is too hot for a jacket, don't wear one. If you can't decide between a short sleeved shirt or a long sleeved shirt, wear linen, seersucker, or breathable cotton instead of heavy cotton or flannel. You can also try wearing lighter colours in general if you want to absorb less heat.
(And bro, stop hanging out with whatever dumbass frat boys thought calling you a "homo" was appropriate, or that being a "homo" was a bad thing. Seriously, it's not 2003 and you're not in middle school.)

Why not just hold it or put it on your shoulder?
