So, Lance Bass is gay...Can I be the first to say, "Who Knew?"
Speaking of homosexuality. Is there a safety net between a heterosexual male and gay men? Should every straight man have just enough homophobia to keep him from being accused of being gay? Why can't a straight man be good looking, well dressed, comfortable with not only his own sexuality but the sexuality of others and not be a target for rumors?
And is it me or can some gay men be super catty? I have gay friends, effeminate and some that are not but it always baffles me when men do not act like men. I know HBO, TLC, and Discovery Health tell us that some men have more female chromosomes than normal but seriously no matter what your sexual orientation you should always know that at the end of the day you are indeed, a man.

No. Why would homophobia prevent you from being gay? Many men that are gay put on the facade that they hate other gay people. It's called self-hatred.

Because of stereotypes.

...like these. This is similar to the notion that only women gossip, when in fact many men, gay and straight, gossip, too. People in general are gossips as they are catty and petty.

What do you mean by act like men? That's a stereotype in itself. Or better yet, you're buying into Western standards of what a man is or at least should be. That's why men like the ones you mention above can't escape the rumors.

It also has a lot to do with the way men are socialized. It's a combination of the two. But, at the end of the way when you make comments like "you should always know at the end of the day, you are indeed a man," you shouldn't be surprised that at the end of the day, you're pepetuating the very stereotypes that make people, or in the case, the men that you speak of is this entry, reluctant to just be who they are instead of putting on guises to be what what they think they should be. Smile.
...finally a comment! Thanks Mike
*I meant in this case. Oopsy. Ugh and I said "end of the way." Damn my typos. No problem, Yasmine. ;)
