No, I've got no problem about sexual orientation; it just bugs me the way these pop stars, before they get rich and come out of the closet (ELton John, George Michael) act normal and manly, then end up as screaming queens.

And I don't think Hercules would possibly mistake you for "chicken", old boy! :-)
