I think they are gay, and I think you are vicious for trolling stereotypes. People should be approached on a one-to-one basis, and asking people questions about what they think about a certain group most certainly will not help.
An example:
"Douglas: What do you think of gays?
Anny: I like homosexuals.
Cynical Frank: So, you like heterosexuals less?
Anny: No, of course not!
Cynical Frank: Than does that not render your statement that you like them useless? If you like homosexuals just as much as heterosexuals and people of other sexuals preferences than your statement does not apply to what you think of gays, but rather to what you think of people? This either leads me to two conclusions. Either, you have no opinion on gays, and the fault lies with Douglas, or you are trying to cover up for your silly prejudices, and the fault lies still with Douglas for asking that question, but also with you for attributing character traits that are not inherent to the original categorisation.
Anny: Douglas, let's eat some pie!"
