Me - 44, straight male, Freeper since 1998. I started watching My Little Pony last march to see what all the fuss was about and quickly got sucked in. The current 4th generation of the show, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" is actually an amazingly good show with great writing and animation and thus the huge fanbase. If you haven't seen it you know nothing about it. It is not the awful '80s version. As for the whole "gay" thing this Brony Study found that less than 2% of respondents considered themselves homosexual.

My room mate would record The Transformers and GI Joe. Everyday, after work, a bunch of us Airmen would eat at the chow hall and then go to my room to watch the shows. To be honest, we mostly made fun of GI Joe.
About eight of us went to the theater to see The Transformers Movie when it was first released. Several of us (not me) had transformers toys.
That said, this who “Little Pony” thing creeps me out.
I used to date this girl who watched MLP every day when it came on around eleven am.
The first couple days I remember rolling my eyes going “oh not this shit again”.
A few days after that, I started catching glimpses of the show while walking through the living room to and from the kitchen.
A few days after that, I’d spend some time on the couch when it came on.
We split up about a week or so later.
I noticed that I kept watching the show.
I’ve never admitted this to another living soul, until now.
