Interesting. Thanks Neko. 
On the other hand, one could construe the stereotype as a compliment rather than "homophobic trash," no? (BTW, I confess to buying into the stereotype without much thought.) 

On the other hand, a proper dismissal of the stereotype would require not just a long list of straight designers, but the examination of a truly random sample of designers. I'm not trying to defend the stereotype, Neko, just confessing my inclination, and pondering your objection.
