> I turned down several invites to such activities and got the usual gay jokes behind my back.

I'm surprised they didn't just invite you to a place that caters for both.

I think you missed the point; he didn't turn down the invites because he's gay, they called him gay because he turned down the invites...

If you've been to Thailand, there's no reason for it to be said jokingly, at all.

Yeah, I didn't mean it disparagingly or jokingly. Some places in Thailand quite openly cater to all proclivities. (Once when I was backpacking there, some guy came out of a side alley and approached me saying "young girls, beautiful girls!" and when I said no thank you, immediately switched to "young boys, beautiful boys?")
