"no homo" ? seriously??
I love my dog - no bestiality.
I love my mom - no incest.
I love my car - no materialism (okay - maybe a little materialism)
anyway - the point is we're adults. there's nothing "homo" about saying "i love you" to another man, and if you did mean it in that way, that wouldn't be weird because of it being gay, it would be weird that you're feeling erotic tendencies towards a person who answered one of your questions on a car forum.
sincerely,
a straight man who loves many men in non-homo ways, and doesn't feel the need to explicitly decry that anytime I utter the phrase "I love you" to a man., gay OR straight
