Does anyone here have a opinion one way or the other?

What do you think?

I have never noticed it be not gay friendly. In fact, I hate when people bring stuff up like this without hearing stories because this is how horribly inaccurate internet rumors begin.
 
thanks that relieves my fears.
In fact i don't know where they got started.
Or why!
Thanks!
