As much as I agree on the front that there a people that aren't out for 'good' reasons and speculating someone's sexuality or outing someone is a terrible thing to do, he making it sounded like a 'struggle' to be seen as gay it comes off really bad to me.

Being considered gay when you are not, shouldn't feel like a struggle at all, as long you are being honest and the people close to you know that.

I think what's bad is that it's coming from gay people who should know better too. I don't know whether it's lust (which, ew) or just being catty, but it's like, c'mon, if you don't want to be harassed for not conforming to gender roles/stereotypes, don't enforce them on straight guys.
