This is called the "hanky code" and was more common in the 1970s and 1980s when most gay people were closeted. It is a code for gay men to let other gay men know what what they are interested in. The code has to do with the color of the bandana and which pocket it's in.

It still exists, but it's not very common anymore.

I'm sure that you're probably just thinking too much about it. I'm not aware that there is any code about a girl wearing a bandanna and I'm not sure if there's anything about the guys either.

Gay bandana meaning?

It depends on where you are. In San Francisco in the 1980's, a black bandanna in the right hip pocket indicated masochism; in the left pocket it indicated sadism. Grey in the right pocket signaled a desire to be tied; in the left pocket a desire to tie someone up. White indicated a beginner or someone who was into beginners. (It also sometimes meant "vanilla" or plain sex without accessories, dress-up, etc.) Red indicated heavy anal sex play. The left/right pattern was reversed in some other parts of the country. Ultimately dozens of colors became involved, but since a lot of gay bars had mostly red lighting it was pretty hard to see what the bandanna color actually was. So you still had to talk to a prospective partner.

What are the known affiliations with bandanas their colors and how they are worn?

Bandanas worn in particular colors can be associated with specific gangs or street groups, but it's crucial to note that these affiliations are not universal or definitive. For example, red can be linked to the Bloods gang, blue to the Crips, and black to some motorcycle clubs. How a bandana is worn, such as the side or pocket it's placed in, can also hold significance in gang culture as a way to communicate allegiances or show disrespect to rival groups. However, fashion trends and personal style choices may also play a role in how bandanas are worn, so interpretations should be made with caution.
