Pronouncing Joan like the girls' first name? That's like they're setting him up to be gay.

My dad is Lynn.

And he's as straight as you get. My brother is Ben, and he's as gay as you get.

Wow.

You really think a name will make someone gay?

I just feel that a boy named Joan pronounced like the girls' name might get beaten up.

getting beat up = gay?

don't think so.

Okay, that is a fairer comment- but that isn't the same as "setting them up to be gay"
