I always thought a bow tie was the same as a woman wearing a bandanna, a declaration that you are gay and that you have pride about being gay.

Oh, certainly not! True, all of the men I know now who wear bow ties regularly are gay, but not the guy I knew back when I was a high school senior. Y'know, good, solid, conservative Limbaugh listener. Had a girlfriend even—back home, while he was at college—you wouldn't know her. Real friendly, he'd invite me over to his apartment to talk computers, share his university Internet login password with me, that kind of thing. Yup yup. Totally. 110% straight.
