I wear pale pink footed tights all the time.(I am also straight) women say Ilook cute also.It does not bother me a bit.I also wear pale blue,lilac,grey, beige,off white and many other colors and all the women thinkits great.I love it!!I don't think the color really matters unlessits too bright or it has a pattern.So long as they fit good and are comfortable.-Peter[/i]
