The myth this painting is breaking is the myth of masculinity. I've found the myth we have created about what a man should be is one of the most destructive and imprisoning ideas we have been brought up with as a civilization - a left-over from barbaric times when it mattered how physically strong a man was and how great in battle.
With lips like that, this guy is fruitier than a nutcake. I don't think one's sexual orientation matters a whit. What matters is have you learned what love is yet.
Love is vastly more than we think it is. It has a mind of its own. It has purpose, motivation and a power that is completely beyond our control. It cannot be conquered and the only way of dealing with it is to give in and let it happen - obey its dictates, not ours.
This man is free. He has given in to himself and made peace with his nature. He wears the guise of a traditional '50's man - the hat, the white shirt, the overcoat, the creveat ... yet he wears his femininity like a red badge of ... fun - shattering the myth of what he SHOULD be.
