Its not obvious at all. Infact its about as far from obvious as it could possibly be

Being a little feminine etc, does not make someone gay. The only defining characteristics of a gay person is which sex they are attracted to.

They just made it a double barrelled surname. Like Palmer-Tompkinson or Parker-Bowles

I don't think he is gay because he is feminine My mate is gay and i met his bf and he was a butch mechanic and was more manly then me and i am straight.
I just think he is a secret gay maybe he is still living in denial.By the time he is 40 he will be proud

Same way how everyone knew Lance Bass, Ricky Martin and Zachary Quinto were gay, before they came out open to the public.

You can do what you like. Namewise. For instance a child doesn't HAVE to have any family surname at all. You can name them Bart Simpson if you like

I have my OH's surname but am not married to him

Aaron loved his wife ... shock horror news there.

Nothing wrong with going against tradition a little

"Some double-barrelled names are formed in order to prevent a family name otherwise dying out, due to the lack of males in a generation or when notable property is inherited through the female line with a stipulation that the individual inheriting use the family name."
He did say he did it for his son with respect to his wife's family. They probably don't have a male in the family to carry on the family name. So he took hers with his and it is now a double-barrellled name.

It is a perfectly common thing to do. My sister did that when she married.
In the past if a person brought the money into the family their name was included as in Bowes-Lyon. The Bowes were wealthy coal owners and the Lyon family were the poor Duke's of Strathmore

Toms gaydar went off and he is with him 24/7 and just everything about him says gay
I just don't think Aaron wants his family to know or his son to see it.

He chose to add his wifes surname to his own so that his son could help carry on his wife's surname too as well as his because his wife's family is small.
I know others who have done that too.Its not completely unusual.

Good, I hate that women are just supposed to take their husband's surname. It's so sexist and most people are too stupid to realize it.

If that's true, his cool points stack way up through the roof. At least he is aware he's living in the 21st century where men and women are EQUAL, not a hundred years ago. Whilst egalitarian attitudes in society have evolved, it seems some people's are still stuck in the past. No inflated male ego from Aaron, or misguided beliefs that men are superior to women. I admire him even more now
