Your Definition
A phrase meaning "whatever gives you sexual pleasure" or "whatever sexual activity you enjoy." It's used similarly to "[whatever floats your boat]," but specifically carries a knowing, often ironic, reference to sexual [preferences] and activities. Originates from the excuse used by anti-gay activist George Rekers in 2010 when caught traveling with a male escort ("rent boy"). Rekers absurdly claimed he only hired the young man to literally lift his luggage. Popularized by sex columnist Dan Savage and comedians like [Stephen Colbert], who seized on the flimsy excuse. "Lifting someone's luggage" became a euphemism for providing sexual pleasure, often (but not exclusively) in a same-sex context. The phrase "Whatever lifts your luggage" extends this to a general, sexually-tinged statement of acceptance for someone's preferences or kinks.
