The Beard: Averted in that, by all appearances, Zack and Claire married while being genuinely happy with each other, and it wasn't until after getting married that Zack began to seriously struggle with his sexuality. Claire attempts to invoke this after discovering that Zack is gay by getting Zack to remain in the marriage, even claiming that she would be okay with him having affairs with other men, but Zack tells her that he can no longer continue to live a lie and needs to be true to himself once and for all.

All Gays Are Promiscuous: Zig-zagged. Bart leads a fairly hedonistic lifestyle, picking up multiple sexual partners, but while Zack did pick up many men too, it never led to sex with any of them before meeting Bart, and the other few gay men shown are implied to have normal jobs and regular lives, with little focus on their amount of partners.
