I'm Canadian, which is why you being married to someone named "Megan" didn't conclusively demonstrate that you were male :-)
Here's a thought: if we accept the "well dressed gay" stereotype, gays today dress like straight men did fifty years ago, with a lot of attention to fashion and taste. Maybe straight men are so poorly dressed these days because of some obscure homophobic reflex that makes us want to clearly distinguish ourselves from gays?
I dunno, maybe I'm just being judgemental. I'm so sick of homophobia and people calling everything "gay" that perhaps I'm exaggerating things in my mind.
