The bigger and scarier looking the guy, the more relaxed they tend to be about such things I find.
I'm guessing 'cos like a born swimmer they have more of a natural bouyancy in the heterosexual swimming pool of reputations without needing to be constantly kicking underneath.
And the fact that big fuck off rugger/bouncer types just seem to think it's funny.

it's cultural too.
here (toronto) where sexual orientation is generally a non-issue, straight guys go to gay bars more than a little. partly it's due to being unconcerned about their own sexuality, but there are otrher reasons. a couple of guys i know prefer gay bars at times because there's less aggro between the guys there as they're not competing for women's attention. sometimes straight bars (which i go to more, as i generally only go out to see bands) have a real air of 'mating season amongst the ram populace' - it gets on my tits on occasion, even though i'm rarely looking for womensex, and my straight buddies tend to notice it far more.
when i was a barman, we had a few straight co-workers (doormen, busboys), and they were fine working in what was not only a gay bar, but one that was oriented toward the fetish crowd, complete with sex shows and the like.
