The Picture of Dorian Gray

I just started The Picture of Dorian Gray and I wanted to ask a question about it.

Is it just me or do all of the descriptions from male characters about other male characters sound extremely gay?

It might just be that they’re trying to convey how almost ethereal Dorian Gray is early in the book to make it clear but it still strikes me as odd. I also haven’t read any other books of that time period so it’s possible it’s just the style of the time.
