    JazX,

    I know what you mean, but I think it could confuse people.
    Think about someone who doesn't really live in a big city, but has cable and has seen the show. They see all this stuff reccomended by these gay guys, and...I dont' know...I just have this feeling that if they ever come across a new friend, or a friend's family member and they are doing many of the things they've seen the 5 reccomend, maybe it makes them question the person's sexuality?

    I've been victim to those kind of assumptions before-because I was wearing Kenneth Cole shoes to wait tables and they were more than $150 and because they were nice/cool shoes, a couple people who didn't yet know me there thought I was gay.
    My roommate jokes with people about saying that I'm gay and such for stupid things like the fact that I buy stuff at IKEA, or that I dress nicer than most of our friends, or have way more clothes, things like that.
    What can I say? I'm not one to look like a slob, or be messy, look lazy, look unkept.
    Sucks that when you're steps above that people will think and say things like that.
