what sort of comment is this? As it seems rather to imply that:
1. Males engaged with the beauty industry are gay
2. Gay males are psychologically more like women than men
3. Gay males gender designation is female
I don't see how this adds to the debate about aesthetics and gender difference, and could be taken as rather offensive.

I'm not sure exactly how they counted the sex of all the team members
designing a web site, but maybe the difference we should be looking at
in the beauty products sites is the sexual orientation of the designers
(as in the fashion industry).
