Hey there, fellow gay here 👋🏳️‍🌈. I have fortunately not been wronged in such a disdainful way, but I do have some insight.

Honestly, getting into this guy's psyche, if you really want the necklace back, you will need to make it clear (publicly or otherwise) that if he keeps the necklace, then he obviously has feelings for you. You can even say something like, "I'm glad you're keeping the necklace, Skyler, because it proves this wasn't just an act. You really did have feelings for me and our relationship was real." If he keeps the necklace, he's outed himself whether he's ready to or not (and it's not your responsibility), and if he gives it back he has a way out (for now), and you get your rightful property back.

The worst homophobes in this world are pretty consistently gay themselves. Even entertaining the idea of the dare is proof in and of itself that he has homosexual thoughts. I really feel for you, buddy. Just know, it does get better (not in a straight line, mind you, but straight lines are boring af), and the community is here to support you along the way.

Good luck! ✊

What I haven't seen anybody mention so far is the possibility that Skyler could have just refunded/sold the necklace. It's what I would do if I had an expensive piece of jewelry that wasn't very dear to me. It sucks to think about, but the guy is clearly a prick and I wouldn't be at all surprised.

And even if he hasn't done that, he could just lie about it. The obvious response to being called out this way would be "I sold it, lol".
