Life / Wearing "strange" things for poles and consequences, is it true? [44]

Hello i am a 17 year old italian boy and ill come to warsaw for one week as a tourist. I have 2 earrings (which were i live is normal) and usually wear sunglasses, and my skin is quite dark (god i feel like a stereotype) and now i'll tell you why i am concerned. I asked a polish friend of mine how poland is and he said very nice and i really should visit it but that people there will assume i am a homosexual just because i got earrings, and that because of that way of dressing (sunglasses etc.) i will likely be beaten up on the street by angry homophobic polish teenagers or something. is this true and something i should be worried about? or just something stupid he said?

thank you

damnit i love my big poofy jacket. well i am not very loud. i just find the fact that people consider a boy wearing one or two earrings "gay" absurd in 2010, and i personally think you wont get beaten up for it or something, but its always better to ask :p

also, can you tell me something in polish to say to my friend? would prefer if very funny and not expect a foreigner to know it :o

ah well i thought it probably was bull**** but i always wanted to ask people living there as i dont know polish culture and the only person i asked is one 16 year old boy who goes to my school. i will bring pizza for everyone

Well ear rings are more common now a days I presume, but don't wear a lady bag or having too much geleé in your hair nor use pink clothes

ah well i just see earrings as an accessory just like a watch or a bracelet could be. it really irritates me that people would judge me on that. anyway no, i am not gonna wear pink t shirts with unicorns singing YMCA songs jumping around.

because i wouldn't like doing it.i jsut dont feel the need. if i did i'd do it. i like earrings and i am not gonna take them out because people will think i am gay, i was just asking about a "safety" factor because to me it was described as a MAJOR DANGER ALARM ALARM, but now i just understand some people might think that but what can happen is just some comments or people looking at me.

Depends also what kind of ear rings your using

Like this, just a little bit bigger.

i'd recommend you pull the earing out for your visit.. why risk it.

What exactly am I risking? some facts not just what people heard from friends.

i just don't understand the big deal about earrings anyway.
