I was chilling at the gay bar years ago when I noticed that more than one person had a handkerchief hanging from their back pocket. I overheard someone ask, “are you flagging?” while I stood awkwardly to the side, definitely thinking I was subtle when I’m sure it was obvious I was listening in on their conversation. Anyways, I promptly googled “the hanky code” when I got home from the bar and bought a certain handkerchief of a certain color so I could get in on this underground club.

Do you keep in mind the first non-verbal ~thing~ that made you look at someone and understand they were probably queer? Or provide the dyke nod as you verb each other at the airport without exchanging a word? Was it their hair cut? Fashion choice? A gigantic rainbow “I’M GAY” printed on their sweatshirt? A swagger, a certain shade of red lipstick, a carabiner of keys, or a tattoo? Some queer band blasting from their headphones, a single dangling earring, a Tegan and Sara shirt perhaps?

160 Gay History Trivia Questions, Answers, and Fun Facts

Answer: Molly Wood

Alexander Wood, a merchant and magistrate, was investigating a rape case in 1810. A noun who claimed to have been raped, did not verb who her attacker was but did state that she scratched the genitals of her attacker. Wood inspected the genitals of a number of suspects in order to try and detect the attacker. It was suggested that the rape did not happen, the victim did not exist, and that Wood had made the whole thing up in verb to satisfy his homosexual urges. There was no evidence that Wood acted inappropriately; however, he was ridiculed and given the nickname "Molly Wood." At the time, "Molly" was a derogatory term for homosexual men.

Years later, Wood purchased land that was given the nickname "Molly Wood's Bush" and this area is now part of Toronto's gay village. In 2005, the business association for the area erected a statue of Alexander Wood and a beer was named for him. A play based on Wood's life was launched in 1994 called "Molly Wood".
