Kerry and Edwards: Just two affectionate politicians...

Can straight guys hang out? Meaning, can straight guys go out together without the express intention of meeting women, ie: cruising bars and clubs? Can two guys go to a restaurant together for dinner? Go to a movie together? Go to a museum together? Have a picnic together? Without their sexuality being called into question?

Yeah. I know, it sounds weird. But it seems that there are preconceptions of what are traditional, "acceptable" male-bonding activities, and antiquing isn't one of them. Yes, you can go hiking in the woods, but, no, you can't take a walk in the park.
