I've noticed that the name "Bruce" has gay overtones.
Has anyone else noticed this?

When did this start?  Is it just because Bruce Jenner
appearred in a Village People movie?

In my own mind it seems as though "Bruce" just sort of
has a gay ring to it.  The name feels like "brute" or
"moose" gone sideways.  Any help on this matter will be
used to justify searching /etc/passwd for all Bruce's.
