In my area i have noticed that youger guys with fine girls 16+ age, looks and dresses like 'fags'. Walking around in Ugg's.
Styles change, that's all.
I come from a small town where everyone dresses the same as they did in junior high school even now in their 30s and have the audacity to clown on guys who experiment with changing styles. They think they're somehow more well-grounded because their sense of fashion stays rigid, but nope, they're just as much followers as everyone else. They dress that way because all their friends do not because they're rock solid independent thinkers.
It's important to remember that anything we're not accustomed to is going to look gay or outlandish to us. Younger guys are a lot more in tune with that is stylish, and if they're sporting uggs, I'd venture that it's not gay to do so. It's current.
Is this gay?
Not in its time it wasn't.
Anytime someone sees a new fashion move as faggish, it only shows how boxed into their own identity they are. Everything is relative and must be put into context. Guys who are more adventurous with fads are more in tune with how things change and less self conscious about what others think when they push the boundaries. Ten years from now, there'll be aging guys in uggs, failing to move on and scoffing at the new styles younger folk are sporting.
And new generations of young, hip guys will still be banging quality tail.

To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
