Something tells me that these scientists are gay.
Something tells me they are looking for more study money.
And trying to fly under the gayer.

And trying to fly under the gaydar!
One less talked about aspect of homophobia is when men over-assert their masculinity out of the fear of being perceived as gay by their peers. They sometimes do this by diverting attention away from themselves and towards somebody they think they can say is gay. They really don’t care if the person is gay or not because what really matters to them is that their peers don’t perceive them as being gay.
