Which is Gayer?

Several years ago Josh perpetrated a horrible act upon me, Beers, Michael and Anton (I may have those names wrong, if I left you out, I'm sorry). We went to the movies to see "The Thin Red Line." When we went to sit Josh demanded that we leave at least one seat between us as a buffer. This led to the five of us dispersing throughout the theater. So when the movie started, and it was the worst movie ever made, we all hated it, but when we look around it seemed as if everyone else was enjoying it, so we didn't leave early. All because Josh thought it was gay to sit next to another dude in a movie theater.
At Bill's bachelor party, Josh, Smokey and I caught a cab. When I suggested someone sit in the front seat, Josh demanded that all three of us sit in the back.

I refuse to vote, since both things are totally not gay at all, and its gay that you'd even consider that stuff being gay in the first place.

If you had '2 guys getting brunch' as an option, like on How I Met Your Mother, then there might be an argument for gayness.

Until HBO does a show called "Movie Theater Confessions", I'll say three guys sitting in the back. Although that's not all that gay.

FOUR guys sitting in the back of a cab with no one in front would be gay. This I think you could get away with.

Seeing "A Thin Red Line" was gay.

I unfortunately was at the theatre and sat 2 seats away from Josh who looked to be attentively watching. I fell asleep and as we left everyone agreed that it was the worst movie of all-time, only angering us further that no one spoke up because we sat 2 seats apart.

Thin Red Line was awful... All I remember is some swimming sequence that took 74 minutes...

The answer is the backseat of a cab. It's not even an issue. Five guys sitting next to each other at a movie theater makes sense and there isn't a logical alternative. The argument for the cab is why would three guys all sit in the back when all can sit more comfortably if one rides shotgun.

Just to clarify for Reissberg, there was a viable alternative in the movie theater scenario, which is the one we chose. Because the theater was nearly empty we sat in 5 different areas of the theater.
I think the only other people in the theater were an old couple who walked out halfway through and said "I can't believe we wasted our social security checks on this shit."

No even this homo thinks that sitting together in a theatre w/o a buffer zone is sooooo Fucking gay!!

You have to have a buffer. It doesn't make sense that I need to have guys on both sides of me. If you walked into a theatre and it was empty, except for five guys sitting in a row, you would think they were gay.

And the reason we were so spread out was because everybody but Billy is a damn freak. All I wanted to do was sit a seat apart. Give each other a little space. When you homos got pissed that you couldn't hold my hand in the theatre, everybody decided to sit in their favorite spots. Mike liked the end of a row, Paul liked the front, Beers liked the back, Derek liked it in the ass of the high school threatre worker. If you would have just sat a seat away, we would have left and not wasted three hours of our lives.

And how do you get 48 or something votes on this poll? That's crazy.

And I don't even remember the cab ride home. I woke up Sunday thinking I had a great night. Then I was told that I was an angry drunk while waiting for the cab.

Three people in the back of a huge cab is not nearly as gay as five guys sitting in a row in an empty theatre.
