wrong. it's a stereotype which is why i said it doesn't apply to all gay men but stereotypes are still based in truth. furthermore, no, i'm not sure he's gay, however i can say that it is very, very likely that he is and that it's more problematic to assume that everyone is heterosexual so there's nothing wrong in thinking that he's gay especially since most signs point towards it.
sorry but you're kind of not right. just because stereotypes can be harmful doesn't mean they always are. more often than not (but not always) a man who is very effeminate, for example, will be gay. they can be used to make some deductions about a person because they are often based in fact. they become a problem when you try to generalize them to an entire group of people or if you assume that someone from a certain group must act a certain way.
you're grossing me out by how you refuse to consider facts? if you were to statistically survey men who are stereotypically "gay acting" i can guarantee that the majority, but once again NOT ALL, would actually be homosexual or bisexual. on the other hand, that DOESN'T mean that a man who is gay MUST be effeminate. what's so hard to understand here?
