It is something funny going on, whatever it is. I am relatively manly myself, and I don't have a problem with gay men. I suspect one of my neighbors of being gay, and I don't give a rat's ass whether he is or isn't. He is a fine neighbor. That is what matters to me, not what his sexual preferences are.
(My wife says he is definitely gay, and I suppose I should just accept what she says, as I have exceptionally poor gaydar. But it just does not matter enough to me to come to any conclusion about his sexuality.)
