𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎-𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃 "𝐆𝐀𝐘 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃" 𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐏 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓

Who remembers this special gesture Brian used to make with his left hand? Possibly only older fans will remember and know what I am talking about when I mention the so-called “limp wrist“ or “gay hand“ that was characteristic for him in the early days. I found it so damn sexy... – how about you?

 ⏩ 𝗠𝗘𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚: Limp wrist is a slang term used towards gay men in reference to how they hold their wrists when they speak. (Urban Dictionary)

Maybe it's strange to feel this way, but this specific move is what I miss most at Placebo concerts nowadays. I understand that Brian stopped doing it as he grew older and didn't want people to focus on his androgyny or sexual orientation any more. And of course I know that everything in life - including ourselves - is constantly changing, but actually I've never been a huge fan of that fact.
Now I want to show you some videos in which you can see what Brian's limp wrist looked like. Some of you may notice this move for the first time, but for some others it will surely awaken some great memories of times long gone. Enjoy watching everyone and please share your opinion on Brian's “gay hand“ with us!
