It's been established he likes sex with men, but does that make him gay? When I hear the word "gay," I think of men I know who are attracted to other men, not just sexually, but romantically, emotionally, etc. I wonder if this guy has the capacity to be emotionally involved with another man, or if it's just physical lust. Anyway, it's a good thing he got outed, since that may give him pause next time he considers voting against gay rights.
