Feel free to add any you think I might have missed. Some of these are undeniable. Others are a stretch.

I know this is totally off the point, but what a great picture. I think the girl is a little overdressed for the occasion...I'm not exactly sure why she wanted to take a breather from her cotillion to hang out with these dorks. "Hey look, a six!" Yeah, we see it Tad.

Okay I was one of three brothers who grew up fighting each other and everyone else on the streets. Then I became a dad of three girls. I had no clue as to what awaited me. There are pictures of me losing this game...and (shudder) winning it as well. Oh for the days of whuppings, beatings, blood and gravel! Now there are earings and tiaras and the bleeding is internal.

Well, if verbally asserting it doesn't help you could always buy a pick-up truck and put duck and antler stickers on it and wear a camouflage baseball cap and chew tobacco. I'm sure that's all about masculine security.

The Iliad portrays close male friendship. It is anachronistic to label this as homosexuality. Not that there is anything wrong with homosexuality, its just that the concept didn't exist in Ancient Greece.

Oh, sure the friendship wasn't Platonic. It just didn't involve full-blown sodomy, mainly because the Greeks considered being the bottom partner in sodomy to be unsuitable behaviour for adults/citizens.

It is interesting that most of the people on here have just been posting pictures of hot men... and saying it's "gay," when I guess it could just as easily be hetero-female straight... and any picture of a hot female could be lesbian.

Therefore... all hotness is gay and straight.
