Gay or Straight?
One's hot for the ladies, the other much prefers his fellow man. Whether he's cruising the nearest glory hole or picking up the scent of a woman, this guy advances the Homo sapiens agenda: eating, sleeping, and tending to his inflamed nether regions. So get a grip on your manhood, because behind two great sexual orientations stands a great one-track mind.
Tell us what sexually ambiguous attributes we missed in the comment section.
1) BASEBALL CAP: But you still can't tell which team he bats for.
2) WHISKERS: Not quite a beard, but not quite straight-razor style either.
3) WHITE T-SHIRT: Some say it's best as the bottom layer, but he likes it just fine as a top.
4) PLAIN JEANS: They will be folded with care before getting tossed on the floor.
5) SEXUALLY AMBIGUOUS MEN'S MAGAZINE: "Um...I buy it for the articles."
6) RUNNING SHOES: He likes wearing rubber—but he's not into cross-training.

OK, why did you feel the need to place your magazine with Vin Diesel on the cover in the models hand....that is such a lame digg on your part at Vin, we know you think he's gay, so what!

Now that you've brought it full circle and proven that in today's America you can't tell the difference between a gay and a straight all the time, mostly thanks to your magazine I might add, perhaps you can retire this sad old joke and come up with another pithy way to end each issue. Hint: Open letters to controversies of the month have already been taken.

Wait, let me get this straight (pardon the pun), are you saying that gay men wear running shoes? Dude, you are clearly not on the east coast, because gay men wear nice shoes, or, if we want to go casual we wear those über trendy way gay europeanish bowling shoes.

Yea.. The appearance of this fellow is pretty ubiquitous. It's difficult to say.
Then again.. one out of ten men is likely to be gay.
I wonder if this magazine has featured 'gay or biker'?
You know, the leather-loving guy in the goatee. Maybe that's a gimme?!

I am deeply insulted by this article. All gay men do not cruise glory holes looking for sex. As a matter of fact I don't know any gay people that do it or would even consider it. I think it's the straight guys who can't come to terms with their urges for a man who do it. Either way it's insulting and you should appologize for this blatent hateful sterotype.!!!

Why are people so sensitive? This game is fun. HAHA...The magazine gives it away. If he was having trouble with style, he should have went to the casting call for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"

I been buying details since i was a teenager, although it was much different back then, but was much more pseudo-gay.
I love the back page, always got there first b4 any other pages. How about 'Gay or Pseudo-Gay Magazine Editor??'

The entire point Details is trying to come across is that you cannot "stereotype" the way people dress and what they do. Why are people so worked up on the notion of this article? They should all take a chill pill and learn how to laugh a little.

Mos americans do not have any sense of style.
He looks like the average, middle class american idiot. Not agy at all.
I am a woman and I don´t think you can point a finger to a guy and say he is gay because he has a sense of fashion.
People with sense of fashion tend to be worried about the way they look and that is it.
It is an ofense to gay people to make a game like that and think it is funny.
I am shocked by the lack of taste of DETAILS magazine.
And frankly to be chic is not only to dress with style, is also to behave with style, grace and politeness. prejudice is very far from being fashionable.

It was a joke. Everyone needs to just relax.

This is def supposed to be Jake Gyllenhaal. The not-quite-beard settles it, but the ball cap + jeans don't hurt.

I bet the white t-shirt isn't the only thing that "works as a top"!

Take away the Details magazine and any mention of glory holes and that could be a picture of me!
Yes, I am gay!

The "glory hole" thing is so 1980; hey we have the internet and Starbucks. Details and GQ will NEVER figure out a way to sell style to straight men as long as they suggest ever so subtley that something is wrong with men dressing well.
