All day long, I've been reading rumors about LeAnn Rimes' husband Dean Sheremet, who's been outed as gay by someone in his family. The issues these allegations raise about faking sexuality led me to peruse the Trend Hunter archives for more ways sexuality is faked.
Our culture's fascination with sexuality doesn't just stop with couples like LeAnn Rimes and Dean Sheremet. There are magazine spreads, high fashion ads and even PR stunts that exploit the shock of homosexuality. Check out the most viral examples of these below.
