it kind of seemed like a couple of things. First, guys who would accuse me of 'acting like a fag' or would talk in that way often had deep shame inside themselves of leaning homosexual. Like they were afraid they might be gay so they would boisterously criticize gay guys loudly and often. Second, it was sometimes something jealous inside themselves because I often dated attractive women, so they were looking for a way of putting me down. I've kind of stopped trying too hard to figure it out though. I just don't like men like that, so I do my best to avoid them now, lol. This might not answer your questions directly, but hey I felt like sharing here. Maybe I'm still trying to figure it out too!
