Sock rule 

If you have socks on it’s not gay, because you’re not committed to the act. But if no socks are on then it is gay because you are committed to it.

The homie was upset about not getting head last night so John said fuck it I got socks on I’ll suck it! Did you guys hear about Greg the other day? He took it up the ass by 6 dudes that shits gay! Nah he had socks on so it’s okay because of the sock rule.

Sock Rule 

If you have socks on while taking part in a homosexual action it is considered not gay because you are not fully committed to the act, however once those socks are removed the act and every member of the participating party becomes as gay as James Charles due to the lack of socks which means that you are fully committed to said homosexual action

Chad- “Bro I just saw Larry give some dude head, that’s so gay!”
Randy- “Wait was he wearing socks?”
C- “Yeah why?”
R- “Then it’s not gay”
C- “What do you mean?”
R- “If a participant is wearing socks then it cancels out the gayness and they are therefore not gay”
C- “Where’d you hear that?”
R- “It’s common knowledge man it’s called the Sock Rule”
C- “Hmmmmm, ok seems legit”

Sock rule 

When you have 'socks on' your feet any homosexual actions or statements being made holds a status of being undeniably 'not gay'. This rule applies to past, present, and future events that socks are worn at the time of.

When someone challenges if individual is committing an act that is gay, the individual in question must quickly claim whether or not they have 'socks on' or not. This is done to determine the orientation(level of gay) of said event. A third part is allowed to ask if socks where worn if 'socks on' status is not given.

When an action or event is challenged, and if the individual partaking in the event or action only has one sock on, the individual in question has the right to determine the effectiveness of their sock using the chart below.

Having two socks on is undeniably 'not gay'.
Having one sock on or socks that are located beyond the feet regardless of amount are considered ambiguous and is the responsibility of the wearer to determine if it was 'gay', 'partially gay', 'half gay', or 'not gay'.
Having no socks on while performing or saying something homosexual, will always hold the status of gay.

Having one or more socks on your person while also not being worn in any way, holds no value. The status of this/these socks shall not be used for determining an orientation of an event or action.

Person1: "Yo, I'm going suck that dick."
Person2: "That's gay!"
Person1: "Nah, I've got socks on."

Historical Facts:
The quote below is from the original creator of the discord server "The South(WD-40)" and is the earliest documented use of the Sock rule.
"It ain't gay if you're wearing socks" -Sharken 2017 (alias: Sharky)

Sock Rule 

As the creator of the Sock Rule I am here to inform you the reader that when wearing socks you have immunity from homosexuality. Therefore you may do any ordinarily homo activity but it will cancel out because socks. However if you have one sock on you are only half homo. Watch what you say. Have a great day kings and queens, and always remember to wear your socks.

Sock Rule -To exclude yourself from any homosexual activities

"yo I'm finna suck that dick" "you gay" "nah I got socks on."

"You didn't say no homo" *shows socks* "ight you good"

Yo that guy over there is so fuckin hot I thought you were straight? I am but the SOCKS RULE saves me because it blocks anything homosexual

Sock Rule 

If you have socks on it’s not gay, because you’re not committed to the act. But if no socks are on then it is gay because you are committed to it. But if the socks are comfortable, (fluffy, just nice feeling to the feet) then it automatically cancels out the rule.

The homie was upset about not getting head last night so John said fuck it I got socks on I’ll suck it! Did you guys hear about Greg the other day? He took it up the ass by 6 dudes that shits gay! Nah he had socks on so it’s okay because of the sock rule.

Sock rule 

The sock rule IS NOT REAL. You are gay if you do something gay. Just because you are wearing some comfy socks doesn't mean that you can't do anything gay!

Dillon: I just railed a dude.
Corey: Wait but isn't that gay tho?
Dillon: Nah man it's ok because I had socks on.
Corey: Bro stfu the socks rule isn't real.
Dillon: But the sock rule says that you can't be gay if you have socks on.
Corey: Fake news.
