What? What exactly are you basing this on?
This is the reason that Irvine mentioned in another thread there is an epidemiologial designation called 'men who have sex with men' (MSM), and less commonly, WSW. There's a fair number of men out there who identify as straight but for one reason or another have sex with men sometimes. One of the most common reasons is simply because it's a lot easier to get sex from another man than a woman. There are guys who romantically attach to women and may not be attracted to men at all but appreciate the fact that a strings-free blow job can be had for the price of a post on craigslist or Grinder. A bit of googling around, or just asking a gay friend if he's ever done a straight guy, will reveal this phenomenon fairly quickly.

That's the irony.
People think being gay is about sex, when it's really about love.
They identify as straight, which I gather is the defining factor. As far as I've read, sexual orientation is not about who you have sex with but who you orient towards in a love relationship. Who you're attracted to, fall in love with, want to be with forever, that kind of thing. There are lots and lots of situations in which a straight person might choose gay sex--prison, the military, the priesthood, having a partner who avoids sex, having a high libido and a low concern with being close to a partner, enacting one's homophobia by establishing dominance over fags, and so on.
If you love men and seek them out for your most meaningful relationships but are married to a woman, you are still gay. If you love women and live with women but seek out men for easy meaningless sex, you're a straight MSM.
That's the irony.

I'm not sure if the priesthood is a good example for that. For the most part I understand what you are saying, but part of sexuality is who you are attracted to and part of sex is being attracted to. They might identify themselves as straight but their sexuality seems more elastic, and I have to wonder how much of this is about shame?
Because misogyny.
It's upsetting for some to see a man "acting" like a woman.
Yeah but shouldn't they then be upset if a woman were taking over the male role in a female/female relationship?
Even though there's no such thing, as it's just stereotyping, but still.. I just can't wrap my mind around it.
That camera seems oddly focused.
Almost in anticipation of 'the gay kiss.'
"What does that even mean?"
Yeah whatever.
