For the record, I have gay male friends whom I adore. And I am very comfortable being around gay men of all stripes-masculine, effeminate, bitchy queen, redneck, preppy, young, old. And I am comfortable being myself (whatever that is) around straight and gay friends alike.
It's just that sexually, straight men (nowadays much younger) typically have what attracts me. And gay men typically don't, though there are certainly young gay guys I'd like to date.
