ATL is considered the gay mecca. There are a lot of openly gay men as well as DL men. Midtown is known for being a gay friendly area. There are restaurants where there are nothing but gay people working there. Piedmont Park is known to be the gay hang out spot on Sundays. Most people know this and still get upset when they take their families to the park.
My best advise is to find you a gay friend. Go out with him. Surround yourself with the knowledge of the gay language including verbal and body language. That way you have that general knowledge on how to suspect a gay man. DL or not. There are men that you would never suspect were gay that are DL. I'm talking hard thug men. Just gotta know what to look for.
Most straight men do not use the same language as gay men. Look for the obvious and don't be naive. Terms like girl, child, honey, messy. Men being overdramatic. Men talking about other people in great detail. "That girls hair is f*cked up" is fine. "Oh my God. Her roots are showing. She needs a retouch" is not okay. "That's a nice outfit" is ok. "Girl that get up is fierce" is not okay. Books have been written on the signs. Open up your eyes and don't be naive. 9 times out of 10, if you have to ask yourself more than once about something, then it probably is what you think it is.
