fencing should be gay because it involves swords but it's actually homophobic because due to silly little things like health and safety considerations you have to wear a full body jacket instead of a loose white shirt with half the buttons undone to show a tasteful glimpse of chest and a mask that protects your eyes but prevents you from homoerotically gazing into your opponent's as you cross blades
duelling, on the other hand, is gay because there's no dress code so you can be as homoerotic as you like, and it's also illegal, meaning it satisfies the legendary commandment to "be gay, do crime"
