There is still some sort of as social stigma when it comes to a masculine gay guy. They hardly come out early and some just don't.
Not saying that Ed is gay for sure, because that's just illogical (not all attractive men are automatically gay), but I cannot say that he isn't gay for sure (and is straight, without a doubt).
He could be gay. Or he couldn't be. I don't know.
Yes, he seems distant from the women in there. But maybe he just has a good sense of self-control or maybe he isn't attracted to women at all. I'm open for all interpretations on him. I'm not just one-sided ("yes he's gay" or "no way in hell).

He does seem like the type to be in utter denial until he's closer to 40.
Ed doesn't strike me as predominantly straight.
Exactly my thoughts on him. The guy is into football - oh the stigma that will surround if he were to come out.
Again, not saying that he's gay for sure, but I suspect him. Gays like him aren't new.
Matt is another one. But he is more likely to be straight though, than Ed.
