The men Jane Ward studied might not be gay—gayns uld be led out some s—but straight-intified, married-to-women guys who have sex wh other men are likelier to be bisexual, closeted or not, than they are to be straight, fluidy or otherwise. While I believe a guy n have a same-sex experience whout havg to intify as gay or bi—straight men should have the same latu on this sre that straight women enjoy—straightns is so valued (and apparently so vulnerable) that some people n look at guys who put dicks their mouths at regular tervals and nstct book-length ratnalizatns that allow the guys to avoid intifyg or beg labeled as bi, gay, or queer. On the other hand, before I me out, the moment I began to even nsir datg people who weren't cisgenr women society was very quick to label me as gay, bi, or queer.
