I think that boys are raised to be manly and a protector. I don't think it's as strong as it has been in the past though.

I had a friend who was a gay, black man. He wanted desperately to be a straight, white man. He was successful professionally (made over $200,000/yr) and had a respectable education. However, he was miserable because he wanted so badly *not* to be gay.

I don't know if society fucked him up so badly that he was riddled with guilt or if it was something in him. He was maddening to talk to because he was so hard on himself about his choices.
