I can't wait for the day when people realize that a guy does not have to play sports and act like a player to be straight. ...am I waiting for something that won't happen?

Also true, my best friend and I were in the drama club together, and we made prom king and queen. We weren't popular with the 'popular club', which consisted of at most 10 people, but we were with the other 4990 students at our school.

I have a friend that plays water polo and he said to me once "The football team is so gay." He didn't give a reason why but I decided to burst his bubble and I said "This coming from the guy who plays a sport that requires him to be almost completely naked surrounded by other guys that are also almost completely naked."

From my experience it isn't the girls that think the boys in our plays are gay, but the boys not in the plays and involved in other sports like wrestling think that. I'm like "You may not wear stage makeup, but you wear tight clothing and grab other guys. What makes you so straight?"

Yeah, I've always found wrestling to be more gay than theater (but I suppose I'm a bit biased since I'm a drama geek). It's kind of like the argument about how guys that cheerlead gets to touch girls all day, in more plays, if you're a lead, you're going to interact with a girl a lot. We did Xanadu and they had to make out. :|

My friend gets made fun of for doing tech. TECH. All just works light and sound, he doesn't even wear makeup and tights! But he also gets a lot more girls than the guys who make fun of him so....

It's a stereotype, it doesn't mean its always true. From my experience, most have been flamboyant, but I'm not saying every single theater and choir boy is gay. Your comparison is kind of off though, because guys that do theatre professionally are still usually thought of as gay, movie/tv show actors aren't. Same thing with professional choir singers. The professional singers that girl usually think are "hot hunks" are of rock/pop/boyband/etc bands.

A good point, certainly one I didn't notice myself.

Of course it's not true, sterotypes never are. Except the one about Asians being smart >.> But that's true about the pro choir singers.

I do theater, and I've found most of them are (or at least seem) very hetero. I actually haven't known any openly gay ones. I have my suspensions about three guys though...

We had two gay guys in my schools drama club and there were probably around twenty guys total.
