From a media point of view, gay men are monogamous, domestic, fashionable, proud, assertive and persecuted.
From a woman's point of view, they are nonthreatening, attentive, compassionate, empathetic and non-toxic.
From many men's points of view, they are predatory, deceptive, indiscreet, timid, untrustworthy and passive-aggressive.
The media presents them as an homogeneous group, where all share the virtues of some, rather than as individuals who have a variety of different motives, some benign, some malignant.
News flash: Lots of gay men are not only attracted to underage teens who may be naive and confused about their sexuality, they try to persuade them to experiment with their alternative lifestyle. Gay men started hitting on me when I was about 13, and still do, from time to time. A lot of them are attracted to straight men, as a challenge, and use subterfuge to entice the bi-curious. Those aren't the majority, but they are a sizable subsection of the whole. This makes men who do not share their tastes suspicious of any other men who act overly friendly towards them without first establishing friendship through other methods.
A little more than fifty years ago, being a 'top' was still a Criminal Code violation in Canada, and a hundred years ago, it could earn a life sentence from the wrong Judge. I really don't care what consenting adults do with each other, when I'm not one of the participants. At the same time, however, I can be disappointed by those who engage in acts that I find to be personally distasteful. To me, it's ironic that some of the members here who openly espouse the doctrine that 'you can't put labels on people' are also the first ones to put a label on me, because my opinions differ from theirs. In my book, that's called hypocrisy.
