Because of the release of the movie "
Love, Simon," some Tumblr users decided to make "I like your boots" code for "You're
hot, are you gay too?" It's meant to be a phrase used by gays to detect other gays in the real world. The phrase is based on I like your shoelaces. Appropriate response is "I took them from a
unicorn!"
(gay person out in public)
"I
like your
boots"
(The respondent that is also a gay)
"Thanks, I stole them from a
unicorn!"
