And while it is true that maybe he took it to the extreme (lotion gloves!), I can appreciate a brotha who cares about his appearance. And just because he was into his appearance, does not mean that folks should assume he's gay. I don't know, that's just me. *shrug*
B]
I don't think that most people are saying Segun is gay just because he is into his appearance. During the Truth or Dare, they asked him had he ever fantasized about other men. He very quickly said that he had and all men had. He was also saying that he's sure whenever most men are with their gay friends in a gay bar, they wonder about the other side. All of the men at the casting special were yelling NO, not me. The women were in shock. Now whether men are lying or not, I know of no straight men that would admit to thinking about other men. I also don't know of any straight men who knowingly have gay friends or that have been in a gay bar. And if they have, they wouldn't admit it if they are really straight. I don't care whether or not he's gay (although I believe he is but unwilling to acknowledge it just yet) but I think that's probably why people think he's gay.
