It's not based solely on sexuality. It's because he's in an environment where there are at least homophobic elements (let's face it, an Albertan hockey board is bound to have few - it's getting better but "gay" still gets tossed about as an insult every once and a while) and challenging people to deal with him by expressing his sexuality (in a much more tasteful way). And as a third party observer, it's funny to watch, even if the reactions I know he's got to be getting aren't caught on film.

Left out the explanation previously because it's tough to articulate, but I figured he'd understand.
