The number 24 is considered “gay” in Brazil, so straight men will have candles like this for their 24th birthdays…

It stems from what now is illegal gambling.

The “jogo do bicho”(animal game) started back in 1892 by baron João Batista Viana Drummond, founder of the Rio de Janeiro’s Zoo, as a way of keeping it from closing it’s doors. Then, the visitors would buy the ticket and get one of 25 animals, and, by the end of the day, if you had the animal that was drawn, you could get up to 20x what you paid for the ticket. Nowadays we have bicheiros(people who work with the bettings) all around town who organize everything.

The thing that makes the number 24 gay for us is that the corresponding animal is the deer, and, in portuguese, deer sounds like a slur for homosexual men. Veado means deer, while viado comes from transviado, which could be translated as perverted(from God’s way). This term was taken back by the LGBT+ community but can still be used in a pejorative way.

This is such a reach are straight men ok

When you turn the number of years old that’s the same as the corresponding identification number in a currently illegal gambling game for an animal who’s name sounds sort of like perverted so you have to create a candle with a mathematical expression on it to mask that you are that many years old

construction workers were a superstitious organization who thought orange objects could ward off vehicles, or even control people.

my brother and I don't say "mcdonalds" when referring to the fast food chain. we've always said "mcnaldo's", then it became "naldo's". now it's simply "nald". and we always refer to it as a single unit. like "do you want a nald?"
