Gay men, the ones that I know, myself included, are egomaniacs.
Therefore, who wouldn't want to be the
gay guy that turned a straight guy
gay.
Also, I'm what you guys might call a "fem" gay; however, I have toned it down naturally in the past 2 years, and even my friends say that it's much less obvious now than it used to be. They said it used to be like: "I'm here; I'm queer," and in your face.
