Left-handed? That’s how daddy rolls. Partially inspired by this tweet, we expand on the apt comparisons between LGBTQ people and left-handedness. Also, are left-handed people more likely to be queer?

When you think about it, grilling is the culmination of so many straight, masculine stereotypes: fire, meat, providing for the family.
