Do you really care what someone who think all gay people would "rather wear lace and bangles" thinks?

If it had been one of the manly men, or a group of them, just think how much worse it would have been- they would have screwed it up equally as bad, and then you would have people trying to emulate their "style" all over the world!
We should consider ourselves lucky!
