Poll: Do Straight Men Wear Their Hair This Way?

I'm take this question very seriously.

Naively, perhaps, I used to assume that this was a very gay hairstyle, but many men are wearing their hair this way. Since my gaydar isn't perfect, and many days is way off, I need your help.

Please note: by posting a photo of Ryan Seacrest, I'm not suggesting that he's gay (I could care less), but am rather using it as an example.

Jennifer Anniston's boy-toy and fiance, Justin Theroux, has the same hairstyle. It would really suck for Ms. Aniston, after everything she's been through, to be with a gay man. However, it would not be the first time for a couple to be in a sham relationship for the sake of Hollywood, but that's another topic entirely. We'll save that one for another day.

Let's talk about hair. Specifically, this hair.

Please speak up and let me know how you feel. Gay or not gay???

Right In Your Own Backyard

Yesterday I was talking to my next-door neighbor for quite a while.

It was the most we had ever spoken. He's not the most overtly friendly guy and ignores me most of the time.

However, this time my housemate and I held him as a captive audience.

What did I notice about him?

He sure as sin seemed gay to me!!

That wouldn't even be an issue if he was say, out!

But he's not.

He's married to a woman and they have a young child.

It was interesting, to say the least and just a tad disturbing.

We were at the outlook, around the corner, waiting for the Blue Angels to start flying around for Seafair.

There was another guy from the neighborhood lurking about and I'm pretty sure trying to hit on him, but Donna and I were keeping him from his prey. Once we were all done talking, they connected.

Donna, my housemate, and I chatted with him for quite a while. All I can say is this: I would bet money on him NOT being straight.

What occurred to me next is this: is it possible that I've lived next door to not 1, but 2 closeted gay men???

It seems to be looking that way.

Some Scary Statistics

While things aren't bad enough in this country: from Bristol Palin's inane toddler calling his Auntie a faggot (out of the mouth of babes), to a Nebraska woman being bound in her own home by 3 men who carved anti-gay slurs into her skin, you may be wondering, "What is this world coming to?"

I'm here to tell ya! And, believe me, it ain't pretty.

In China, according to Jezebel, 9 out of 10 gay men are marrying suffering wives because it's the norm.

In Russia, it's not wise to be an activist. According to the Huffington Post:  

Although homosexuality was decriminalized after the fall of the Soviet Union, disdain for gays remains strong in Russia. Some rally attempts provoke violence by opponents. St. Petersburg passed a law in February calling for fines of up to 500,000 rubles ($15,000) for spreading "homosexual propaganda."
 
And in Africa, homosexuality is illegal in nearly 40 countries and in the harshest nations -- including Sudan and parts of Nigeria -- it remains punishable by death. Violence against LGBT people is common, including government-sanctioned beating, stoning and whipping. And in South Africa, the most progressive nation of the continent, lesbians are frequently the victims of brutal corrective rape, intended to "cure" them of their sexual feelings toward other women.

That's some scary shit.
