‘The moustache is the f@ggot’s veil’ is an old-fashioned Greek expression used in the 1960s, echoing the proverb ‘the cassock doesn’t make the priest.’ The moustache, as is well known, was considered a marker of swagger and masculine pride. A man without a moustache was barely considered a Man at all. So, according to the saying, anyone who isn’t truly a man in essence should at least look like one. Save a fag, f*ck a mustache.
