Does wearing short shorts make a guy look gay?

I am in fact gay, but I don't consider myself completely out.

Anyway, I started going to the gym recently. I find that my shorts that extend a little past my knee make it uncomfortable to work my legs, so I got a pair of shorts to work out in. They are not really too short, but I guess you could say they look short for a guy. I don't think I'd wear them anywhere else but the gym. I'm short, about 5'4" and they come a little past halfway of my thigh.

I've never worn shorts like these, and it felt somewhat awkward seeing the rest of the guys at the gym wearing long shorts. I'm not really the type of person to really care if someone has something negative to say, but I am just not wanting to "out" myself either.

It was just my first time wearing them so far. Does anyone think these type of shorts make a guy seem/look gay? What would you say to someone if/when they were to give a an ugly look or say something ugly to you about the way you look (like-you look gay, etc)?

Update:

Yes, I know that sexuality has nothing to do with the clothes you wear. The problem is that plenty of other people do not know this. Stereotypes are always going to exist.

I'm not really bothered by what other people may or may not say about my shorts. I am just soft spoken, un-confrontational, and slightly antisocial. So, I was just wondering, if someone else were in my position, what would they do/say?

...but thanks, everyone

    I would suggest that the shorts you describe are perfect for woking out in gym . Too many people nowadays try to put labels on people because of how they look or what they wear ... so continue to wear the shorts and forget about what others may or may not think

    Look whenever it comes to clothing outside of the norm (2xl shirts and pants sagging below your butt) everyone thinks it's "homosexual". Well here is what I have to say as long as you feel comfortable wearing your clothing then WEAR IT, forget about other people think. They may be jealous cause they won't look good in jogging shorts haha.

    I think it makes guys look like they're trying to show off their leg muscles, but at the gym I go to it's pretty common to see guys wearing shorter shorts.

    Runners wear shorts like that for the same reason you're wearing them.

    they are only too short if they are so high you are afraid your junk might fal out of your underwear :)

    this summer I was in NYC and all the hip guys gay & straight were wearing much shorter dress shorts-like 3-4" above the knee so baggy shorts hanging below the knee aren't really in style anymore

    sexuality

    sexual preference

    attraction to either one gender or another

    or even both

    none of those things have got anything to do with shorts
