Why do people in America associate "Male Models" with being gay?

I have met designers and photographers from other countries and when they saw "Apollo Male Models" they thought it was a magazine focusing on male models and the male modeling industry.

But when a person from America saw the magazine and looked at the name he immediately thought and asked if it was a gay magazine. At least some asked, most just assumed it's their right to label the magazine as a gay magazine. Is it because it has "Male Models" in the name?

Should I change the name to please them or educate them and get them out of the stereotyping gutter? And why do people from other continents don't think that? What do men's fashion, grooming, modeling, and health & fitness have to do with being gay or not?

male models supporting male models?

If you are a male model (fashion or fitness) would you support other male models? To what level? Would you buy a magazine about other male models? Would you only buy the magazine if you are in it?
