    I blame it on the pungent cologne. And the bossa nova.

    Bros being bros is not quite gay. Being gay involves acceptance as well as appreciation. BTW, although I myself am gay, I imagined a male and female scenario when I wrote my fold. I don't really like the words homosexual and heterosexual. I think they diminish us. If we are going to mix Greek and Latin roots, why not homoappreciative and heteroappreciative? Or allo/ipso-appreciative? Or hetero/homo-kaleidoscopic?
