Americans think all Englishmen are gay really. And Frenchmen also, come to that. Is it our accents? It can't be mine. I sound like a cockney taxi driver.

John, I think I preferred "Roman boys", partly for the scansion, and partly because the reader (ignorant fool though he may be) may not know which Caesar is being referred to - not that it matters, bunch of pooftahs the lot of them.
And don't think that your accent renders you above suspicion. There are plenty of gay cockney taxi drivers.
