Interestingly, most male ballet dancers are straight while most (but certainly not all) Broadway dancers (chorus types, not leads) are gay. And a former gay co-worker in Indianapolis did run into a few Colts in the local gay bar and they weren’t just “tourists” either.
Note that the “early” Binkley is indeed called “Michael”, strongly suggesting that he is indeed the same character who BB decided to re-design, (rather than a last name he decided to re-use).
I remember back in the 60s I was in New York at a small restaurant when a rather handsome ‘macho’ young man asked if he could share our table since there were no seats left. We said yes and had a pleasant conversation.After a bit I mentioned that he looked familiar. Turned our he was the actor who played the Marlboro Man in the famous cigarette commercials; you remember, the cowboy that had the Marlboro tattoo on the back of his hand.Also turned out that this famous ‘macho’ image was as gay as you could get. We chuckle about that to this day.

Ah, the old helmet-jump shocker. Mikey Binkley is just an odd duck regardless of his sexual preferences (if any)….
