Not necessarily a new thing:

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/pwh/gayvik.html

There is ample documentation of homosexuality in insults. Judging by the literature, the Vikings were the "rednecks" of medieval Europe... if you went into the mead hall and called a man a ******, he'd do the same thing that any good ol' boy at a Texas cowboy bar would do. The end result would be a big axe in your head instead of a big cowboy boot in your face, but the idea is the same. Furthermore, in every one of the instances where nÃð or ergi is encountered as an accusation, no one seriously believes that the accused party is in fact homosexual: the charge is symbolic, rather like calling a modern redneck "queer" to provoke him to fight. (Sørenson 20)
Having said that, I do think American males are rather unique in how terrifying they find the prospect of being wrongly identified as homosexual and the lengths they'll go to avoid accidentally coming into contact with "gay" clothing/food/cars/furniture/power tools/colors/shapes/oxygen.

Typical straight guys paranoia. I've just suggested a few gay traits and it's like an earthquake to some of you.

I've always played mind games and it works brilliantly in this context.

I'd long been waiting for someone to equate pink with gay. Two days at LEAST.

C'mon ed it's not ********** with guys that makes you gay. It all has to do with the clothes you wear, the jewlery you wear, your facial hair and how you walk down the street. As long as you don't exhibit any of those gay traits you can do whatever and whomever you'd like and not worry about being gay.

Ed's not gay! He just lays there.

Really though, the forum must stop with the topic of teh gheyz...some of the so-called 'straight men' here are waaaaaaaaay too obsessed with the subject.
