DS is 16, likes to cultivate his own rock guitar playing look with long hair etc but also his manner is quite gentle, he doesn't really like what people see as typically 'blokey' things, bit of a dreamer, friendship group has always included girls. Quite often people - including people his own age - assume he is gay. Not in a hostile way but they do assume it. He thinks it's funny and rolls his eyes but AIBU to be a bit sad that there are still stereotypical attitudes around? He's a young man whose character is still forming and he's getting frankly nonsensical messages about what is acceptable behaviour for straight males.
