“A gold ring on Craig’s RIGHT hand is NOT a wedding ring......why did the cop even mention it?”
I noticed that, too, and was going to comment until I realized that I once heard a band on the right hand of a person is a symbol of either being a homosexual or a committed homosexual.
Just googled and came up with this:
THE QUESTION:
I’ve noticed that gay men sometimes wear bands on their right-hand ring finger. Does this symbolize anything?
ANSWER 1:
My “significant other” and I wear matching bands on our right ring fingers. This symbolizes our commitment to each other, much as a wedding ring would. Since we are not married (because we cannot do so) and do not enjoy the societal and legal benefits of marriage, we do not wear our rings in the traditional spot, which would normally symbolize legal marriage.
FURTHER NOTICE:
This seems to be something of a trend. Although there don’t seem to be any fixed rules, a silver or gold band on the right ring finger would indicate that particular gay man is in a committed relationship, just as heterosexual couples wear wedding bands on the LEFT hand. Perhaps it is a statement not only of committment but also pride in oneself as a gay person. Chuck A., 39, gay male
FURTHER NOTICE 2:
I’ve worn my ring on my right hand for years for two specific reasons: One is that it is a tradition in some European countries. The other is that it is not heterosexual. I like to identify myself as a “married” man (even though it isn’t legal yet) but don’t want to be misconstrued as straight. I still get asked what my wife’s name is, and I reply my spouse’s name is Michael.
