Top 10 Toys That Made You Gay... in the 80s

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Gays and straights everywhere have been rejoicing over this newly-released compilation.

The Just Out blog gushed sentimentally:

For the record I had number 9, I wanted 8 and 5 very badly but never got them, and I had several pairs of number 3. I had no idea number 1 even existed. 

The reason no one realizes #1 even existed is because we were so traumatized by its commercial that we blocked it out of our own impressionable little minds...


10 Toys That Might Have Made You Gay in the 80s

Does anyone out there remember these? And, more importantly, did you realize you were gay in the 80s... as a result of one of these ads?

Thanks to McNulty for the tip.
