Well, you even had a reputation around here for being the gayest straight man. And I think a lot of gay guys I knew thought you were gay through wishful thinking.


I don't mind you calling us on it. It strict terms, you are absolutely correct. It's more likely US who are being hypocritical when we 'ping' that Shirvell is gay because of how he comes off. And likely we all know that, but we also like to be silly and just a little bit bitchy.

More seriously, most gays are also a bit sensitized to those railing against homosexuality the loudest being despicable closet cases, and we enjoy seeing that revealed by whatever means. Not only for the sheer joy of it - but because the more that tendency comes to light, the more the loud-mouthiest gay haters who aren't gay might shut up for fear of seeming absolutely gay.
