Fed up with people questioning your sexuality, just because you have long hair?
Wear a black T-shirt with some sort of rock or metal design on it. Be it a skull or a band logo.

People have called me gay for having longer hair, and I let them know that most gay men have shorter hair nowadays. What does that mean for guys with short hair? Still absolutely nothing.
People who call men with long hair gay probably just think that men with long hair look like girls which is utterly false, since it's really easy to distinguish a guy from a girl. When one get's such comments like that the best thing is to just shrug it off and say big deal, it's my choice to keep my hair this way.
My brother said I was "the only fag in the house with longhair" today... it made me laugh, i'm not gay nor insecure in my sexuality so that what anyone else says about me does not bother me. Plus even though I do no way near consider myself a longhair yet, the fact that he said it was long reassured me that I am on my way! So now my thoughts of cutting it that i had last night are long gone!
Why should you be bothered? Is there anything wrong with being gay?
I do not believe that he's saying that there is anything wrong with being gay. But just as gay men do not enjoy people telling them that they should be straight, or as someone said earlier "having women try to 'convert' him", straight men do not enjoy being called gay. It's all about preference.
It's annoying having people insist that you are something you are not, whatever it is. Not only that, but from the context it's probably meant as an insult.
Talking of converting gay men, just the other day I saw this woman climb upon the lap of a guy that I know is gay. He looked very flustered. I'm not quite sure if she actually knew he was gay, though. She always puts her hands all over guys anyway. She is always touching me, even though I hardly know her and she can see I'm married from my wedding ring, but I must say she has never climbed into my lap!
Why can't I find girls like that?
The woman in question is hardly what I'd call a girl. She has nice long blond hair (dyed?) and a decent figure, but she is middle-aged (of course, I am too) and she has glasses and her teeth are rather prominent. Not too bad, but not most people's idea of a pin-up.
