As an observer to this net, I realize this isn't very
important, but I thought I'd throw this in.
The name "Bruce" supposedly gained its gay connotations
from the popular TV series "Batman". The story goes like this;
here we have Bruce Wayne living in the same mansion with a young
teenager ( named Dick Grayson in the series ), now what could
the old lecher possibly be keeping a young boy around for ??
C'mon, Batman didn't really NEED any help from Robin, so just
what is the REAL story here ?
And thus, the image of a gay man named Bruce is born. Since
Robin was supposed to be in high school this also makes Batman
guilty of statutory rape. Somehow that connotation didn't
get added to his name, proving that there ain't no justice.
