what slashers have known for years

Our secret is out -- namely, that women (of all persuasions) find gay men, or men who appear gay, hot.

Retailers in Los Angeles, New York and Miami say more and more young, urban, heterosexual men are choosing to dress in women's tight, low-slung jeans and to use stylish lotions, fragrances and hair-care colors and products, according to June reports in the Los Angeles Times and New York Times. Some marketers call men who are eager to embrace their feminine sides "Metrosexuals" and point to English soccer star David Beckham (who braids his hair and paints his fingernails) as an icon. On July 15, the Bravo cable channel will air a makeover show, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." [Los Angeles Times, 6-21-03; New York Times, 6-23-03]

I originally read this week's News of the Weird column offline in the New Haven Advocate; click to see the illustration for their cover story, "Penis Man." Seriously, click it! Even I couldn't make that up.
