Would it have made you more comfortable if the two men had been wearing camo and sporting "Duck Dynasty" beards? Who's to say what constitutes male/female behavior and appearance? A couple of hundred years ago men would have been wearing hose, lace collars and powdered wigs.

Sounds to me like the young man who you described as "flamboyant" is just being true to himself. He doesn't need anyone's approval nor does he need to fit into some preconceived notion of what men are supposed to act or look like. Appreciate all the differences and variety of the human experience.
