I can't think of a witty title because I'm too busy lol'ing at straight people

‘Magic Mike’ Is Big Draw for Gay Men

Men flirted and showed off their muscles through tight-fitting tank tops. Women with no shoes gyrated next to men with no shirts. A D.J. played deep beats. Shachar Keizman, 24, climbed atop an armrest and peeled off his shirt to reveal a chiseled torso. People screamed and stuck dollar bills in his shorts

1) Need gifs of straight ladies accessorizing gay men generally; I wanna say there are clips out there but nothing comes to mind and the captions would pretty much write themselves

2) “I think there’s a change in how straight men are willing to be physically objectified and want that kind of admiration,” Mr. Ayers said. “They are happy to have gay men find them attractive.”

Not only is this nothing new, it's not exactly profound/noble, either. One of the biggest tropes of hypermasculine dudebro homophobia is the old It's Not Gay/As Gay If I've "Receiving"; Just "Giving"™ phenomenon. It's not always consistent (read: rife with violent hypocrisy) either; ogle one micro-millimetre to the right and suddenly it's all about rationalizing gruesome "gay panic" tropes. Which is to argue, all of this should be less (read: not at all) about implicitly giving straight guys 'credit' for not being ~squicked out~ by the gay gaze.

3) ...Mildly NSFW (bum exposure/crotch-driven body rolls), so scroll by REAL fast.
