> [@elfkin477](#): > > I’m surprised by the number of Lances for the adventure hero. I mentioned my cousin Lance to a coworker, and she expressed shock that he’s not gay. So that’s at least one woman who doesn’t think it’s a manly name… I never said it was manly, just that it sounds like the name of a hero in a cheesy movie. If I didn’t know Lance Armstrong was a real person, and someone showed me a screenplay about a heroic athlete with that name, I’d laugh and tell the writer to come up with a more plausible sounding name! ---

Gay and manly don’t go together now? When I think Lance, I generally think Armstrong. But if it were a gay Lance, I’d think it was some uber manly Tom of Finland esque gay guy, not a Queer Eye extra. ---
