Is it 'gay' for a man to wear shiny rainwear in public?

I had visited a telco Shop in Germany, when it was raining. I wore my shiny black long Rain Jacket from PUL ( Type RA4) , and I Just got positive comments from the two ladies, who worked on my case.
The ladies were very attractive and confirmed that the long Rain Jacket was the best choice in that weather.

So definitely Not gay.

The two ladies said "the long Rain Jacket was the best choice in that weather" surely, as it was raining, that's just a statement nothing to do with being gay or not

I regularly wear my PUL jelly coat in Matt Black (still quite shiny). It's just a very practical jacket!

I like to wear any rainwear that is either shiny to start with or is shiny when socked with water after being out in the rain for ages.

No, it is not. I always wear shiny rainwear in public and so do my friends and family

No. Just last week I had to be on the road, and made some 6 stops over an eight hour time span. I wore my jeantex "Frank". See through. At each and every single stop, women, especially those my age, made a comment. Even though it was a tad cold, I wore short-sleeve shirts. Four times I had women actually run their hand up and down my sleeve. No 6 foot distance for me. One women even asked me, "I'll bet you can't catch Covid in that!". I told her, "For fun, I turn it around and tie the hood tight!". She actually gasped and was crossing her legs.
Told my wife about that when I got home. Guess what she made me wear to bed, backwards?

Hi, No its not gay for men to wear shiny macs, have done this for years, even play bowls in a white ladies pvc jacket from Tesco and no one has made any comments about it.

There is a large public perception that it is. To explain, this is not singling out the wearing of shiny/patent raincoats, but there is a long standing opinion that a man whom expresses himself with fashion or exhibits being well groomed seems to have attained a stigma of 'gay', this is mainly because many men for years never give two hoots about their appearance. Fortunately the fashion industry and the internet are breaking down these opinions, and men are actively encouraged today to groom and dress well, and express themselves as individuals.

Many mainstream fashion retailers also sell many different types of raincoats these days for men in all sorts of materials.
