Thank you for saying that because it concerns me seeing the number of comments here like "Well there are 5 guys in my class but we're all married" or something along those lines.
Being married or even having an opposite sex partner means nothing folks in terms of sexuality.
Ask any gay person and they will tell you that either they themselves were married at one time or they were with someone who was married at one time or another.
I've lived in different cities around the country and seeing men married with children in gay bars picking up other men is a very,very common activity everywhere I've lived or visited.
I say that because I've seen people in nursing assume so much about men on both sides. I've seen many colleagues just assume that if the new guy isn't married or doesn't have a girlfriend, then he's probably gay.
Some men just don't want to be married or attached, plain and simple. It doesn't make them gay.
