Irish nephew called Fin, aged 3
...a few weeks back, walks upto me and says "You should shave your moustache off uncle Jeccy"
"Really? Why's that?" says I.
"Because you look gay."

The little cunt.

This is why I like children. When we get to adulthood we can't get away with such honesty (not that I'm saying your nephew is right!). I'm jealous of kids because they can speak openly without the filters of cunting political correctness. I prefer an honest insult to a cloaked complement any day.

e.g. I woke up, looking particularly rough the other morning - tripping over my eyebags. I wondered aloud who the fuck had slipped the ugly pills in my last drink the previous night.

To which my son replied - looking puzzled - "But you look like that every morning..."

kids don't have to worry about political correctness
adults engage a mental filter to stop them from coming out with anything bad associated with a subject, unless they wish to choose otherwise.
People with Tourettes however aint got that filter. Essentially touretters are honest speakers.

Yes, but
does it look gay???? Is it the full Tom Selleck "rat on the upper lip" type, or a measly wee "eyebrow come down for a drink" effort.

We must be told!

Only one solution.
Grow a beard as well- not a full Grizzly Adams type of affair, but a modest Van Dyke. (A Van Dyke is commonly called a goatee, but in reality a goatee is when you only have hair on your chin and it's not connected to the mustache. And that look went out with Colonel Sanders.)

But whatever you do, please do not grow a soul patch. Even Frank Zappa looked dumb with that.

Gay is as gay does...
Having earlier got back from swimming with my 7 year old nephew, I was helping him pull up his trousers in the changing room and he told me not to pull them up too high as he would look gay *laughs*

I think he's been watching the X-factor! That Simon Cowell has a lot to answer for.

I hope you did the responsible thing...
and told him what "gay" actually means.

"What!!! Kissing another man!!! Uggghhhhh!!"

"What!!! Up his bottom!!! Uggghhhhh!!"

etc

obedient kids
sounds to me like someone might have primed him with those lines. Have you canvassed his parents' opinions on your moustache?

For what it's worth; gayness aside, moustaches are mostly vile. Especially without beards. It's true.
