I have read that gays go in for a lot of aesthetic ambiance. So it just might be that that kind of religious regalia attracts gays. I have a hunch that some of that kind of fancy frill attracts certain gays into the priesthood, too. Just a hunch, but I think I might be onto something there.
Sure. Same reason Halloween and Mardi Gras are their two favorite holidays. It's all about dress-up.
