It only looks funny because nobody else does it. It used to be that people thought that backpacks looked too funny and people insisted on carrying around briefcases. I think it's funny (and rude)you call it gay. The gay people I know are very conscious of their look. I'm aware that probably some will think I look funny wearing it, but I don't work in an office environment anyway and frankly I don't care what people think about the way I look to that extent. I agree, though, that most people will choose not to use such a pack because of the way it looks rather than take advantage of it.
