i asked lesbians how to tell if a girl is gay

Overview

At Dyke Day in LA, Mac introduces a “gay stress test” to see who’s “the gayest” and how to tell if someone is queer—turning the whole thing into a playful mix of scenarios, celebrity-quote guessing, and comedic flirting.

The video is structured around quick interviews and escalating bits: participants are tested with “gay” situations, challenged on their answers, and pulled into running gags and audience-friendly games.

Key Moments

• Opening interviews and scenario prompts

  • Participants respond to “gay” situations (including dealing with judgmental Thanksgiving relatives).
  • A standout guest gives an especially convincing, on-brand answer—serious, grounded, and funny—then gets called out for how well they can “pretend straight.”

• The “pretend straight” and boyfriend-power-dynamic bit

  • Mac flips the power dynamic: if you insist you don’t have a boyfriend, you “actually” do.
  • The bit escalates into a recurring joke around the name Max, which keeps getting referenced (and misattributed) as if it’s a universal answer.

• Celebrity-quote guessing via an iconic lesbian movie

  • Mac plays a lesbian movie clip and pauses mid-line.
  • Guests guess the next line, with one person praised for not dodging with an excuse.

• “System” for telling if a girl is gay

  • One participant lays out her method—considering clothes, hair, makeup, and especially uncertainty around “femme.”
  • The joke lands on the absurd conclusion that the most helpful strategy is simply wearing shirts that say “I’m gay.”

• A live “boyfriend question” prank

  • Mac asks the camera operator a boyfriend question as a test.
  • The result: awkwardness and laughter when it doesn’t go smoothly.

• Debate on passing and stereotypes

  • The group discusses “passing” and stereotypes.
  • The funniest beats focus on confident “gaydar” tactics: scanning for things like carabiners, backpacks, tote signals, and even items in someone’s grocery cart.
  • A participant admits that while she’d assume someone is queer at Dyke Day, she’d hesitate to approach elsewhere—ending with a “just ask / don’t assume” theme.

• Big set piece: “lesbian backpack” guessing game

  • Mac lets someone pick from a bag packed with overtly queer-coded items (e.g., carabiners, softballs, chapstick, a disposable camera, hand-grip trainers).
  • Comedy peaks with immediate, exaggerated reactions—especially to the “softballs.”
  • Mac reveals more “definitely lesbian” goodies as the game escalates.

• Celebrity crossover wink (and fandom recognition)

  • A reference to Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson prompts one guest to admit she was “chronically online,” connecting the reference to Pretty Little Liars culture.

• Ending bits

  • A light mini-workout demonstration with a grip trainer (including a rep count).
  • A final Pride greeting: a nun-in-drag offers a blessing.
  • The video closes with event/social plugs for queer happenings in LA and a comedic “cleansed” reaction after the blessing.

Main Highlights / Jokes

• “Gay stress test” scenarios that turn into performances and “answer rating” energy
• The repeating “Max” boyfriend bit that keeps being referenced and misattributed for laughs

• A celebrity crossover wink (Delevingne/Benson) with Pretty Little Liars fandom context
• A nun-in-drag blessing ending in a joyful “I feel cleansed” moment
