Gay Names

What is a gay name to you? I've always thought that Sebastian and Jonathan are used excessively in gay literature and cinema. Which names do you associate with homosexuality?

My neighbor claimed “Bruce” was a stereotypical name for gay men in the 1970s, but couldn’t remember or explain why.

Once again, it’s straight people and their outrageous absurdity. THEY decide if a name is gay. It’s just like they deemed the following:

1. A man who wears an earring on the right ear lobe is gay.

2. Men, who wore the color green, on Thursday, were gay.

Lance always stood out when I was young. The other one, that seemed to be commonly considered gay by both my gay friends and straight friends was Larry.

Also, it seemed every gay man went by their given name, not a nickname. So there were a ton of gay Davids and Michaels. (Dave and Mike would be straight.). Funny enough, a name that my friends all agreed on did not follow this was Stephen. If you were Stephen, you were gay. If you were Steve, you could just as well be gay. (Being a Steve, I was fine with this.)

I don't know, R78. Every "Misty" and "Missy" I've ever known was a trashbag. Sometimes, it comes with the territory, I guess.

[quote] "Marc"

Every "Marc" I've known has been gay, R88. "Mark", not so much (though I've known a few gay men by that spelling as well).

I've seen a high percentages of gays going by "Ethan". I crushed on one of them, as a matter of fact. "Scott" and "Christopher" have also been overwhelmingly gay for me.

And don't even get me started on "Mycle", "Mychael", etc.
