I once had a classmate in high school who was essentially the Chief IRL. He got a lot of grief from the other boys b/c of it, and everyone assumed he was gay. However, when I asked his (many) female friends, they assured me that his effeminate nature was due to the fact that he grew up with ZERO male role models and only had his mom, grandmother and aunts to raise him. I've always had my doubts (especially since this was in the early 90's - yes, I'm old, shut up - and homosexuality was just entered the mainstream), but I also learned that with 8 billion people on the planet, you can't make assumptions about anyone.
