Im a straight 28 yr old STRAIGHT man, and I also like to dress up when I go out, sometimes I'll wear a white jacket, designer jeans, etc.... how does that make a guy gay? I also don't act like the typical american male jock with his ripped jeans and pickup truck.... doesnt mean i am attracted to men!!!!! What gives? Why dont people think Jon Bon Jovi is gay? Why Duran?

Guys say Duran are gay for the same reason they say Brad Pitt is gay: because they are more beautiful than themselves, and they have to make themselves feel better!

I know I don't like that hip guy groups like DD, The Killers, Maroon 5, and other bands that dress nice and are clean cut get looked at as gay. I mean if they were, its there perogative anyway, but especially down south where I live, I get looked down upon for liking bands like these. Its frustrating trying to defend your favorite band when people are making up opinions, when you yourself are very straight and you know the band is too.

Show them pictures of their respective spouses . . . that ought to cancel the rumours!! AND increase the jealousy factor as well. LOL

It's stupid isn't it? If men don't go around in trackies and wolf-whistle whenever a girl walks past people think they must be gay. Really I would hate a guy like that!

The term 'metrosexual' comes to mind. I personally find that very attractive in a man. There's nothing wrong with a guy who can put a bit more emphasis in his appearance and personal hygiene. Oh how I wish one of those would come into my life. Of course it would be an extra bonus if he were fond of DD as well. ~Laurie

I'm a gay guy and i don't think duran duran dress like gay men--
well none that i know-- or even the sereotypical gay guys--
in fact u'll find most 'boy bands' dress like gay guys who go on the gay scene often because they are styled by gay men or have a gay sensibility - or chasing the 'pink pound'/gay niche market
its all about stereotypes and DD do not really fit that gay stereotype -- all they do is look after their looks which until recently was seeen as something most gay men (esp on the club scene) did -- as the club scenes have merged (gay and straight) music, fashion, looks, style and such have crossed over to and from both scenes --
if someone thinks u are 'gay' take it as a compliment --
i know most stright women go crazy when they see the gay guyz in clubs coz they look so fit and look after themselves --
its all abit vain but hey, if u're young and good looking why not flaunt it -- u're only on the planet once!
what did make me laugh was the fact that u're description of "I also don't act like the typical american male jock with his ripped jeans and pickup truck.." sounds more like how gay guys generally dress - in clubs and in gay porn --
coz generally (in some gay bars) gay men fancy 'MEN' as apposed to pretty, preened camp men
