(95,337 posts)If anything they blow away the stereotype that gay men are 'effeminate looking'.
Edit note: I know that most of us know that about gay men but I've met enough right-wingers who swear they can pick out a gay person just by how they act or dress.

(135,425 posts)They both look much older than their stated ages!!
I think they've succumbed to that "look alike" thing that happens when people are together for a long period of time--I keep hearing the theme of the Patty Duke show in my head!
Still, they're cousins,
Identical cousins and you'll find,
They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike --
You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.

They certainly dress alike, and shave alike! I can't blame them for running like hell from Dallas--I hope they have many years of happiness together.
Great pic, btw!
