fairly light in the loafers and obviously so at that.

If that is the case ... then :   I'm declaring right now that Moto Guzzi Folks are the ones who came to their senses after going through the Harley Phase !

I think your sample might be too small.  

Triumph makes a lot of different bikes.

These for example:

Triumph is the engine supplier for Moto2. Race version of the Street triple motor.

Supposed to be a somewhat detuned, street legal version available next year.

Lots of people say that the Savage is a newbie training bike. I still ride it.
I already said I'm not bashing anyone or anything. I'm just trying to figure out if there's a trend in play.

Mike didn't mean to criticize you , just voicing an opinion. A Triumph is just as much a classic today as it was 50 years ago. Plain and simple they are great bikes.

As I remember Evel Knievel did Ceasars Palace jump/crash on a Triumph

OUCH

Subaru has definitely become the choice of the earthy folks who don't buy a Prius (now that Honda has stopped making the Element).

In this area I haven't seen that any of the LGBT folks ride any 2 wheel vehicles.....although the brief encounters I have at the rest area along my common riding routes may not be sufficient to determine any sexual preferences or misapplied femininity/masculinity.

Several of my male friends have Triumph/Ducati/Moto Guzzi/BMW bikes, and they step pretty heavy in their riding boots (no loafers while riding).  I have only met a few female riders, and they have been on Japanese bikes......other than the female biker chicks that congregate at the Quaker Steak and Lube bike nights which are heavily laden with tattoos and leather and ride Milwaukee made steeds.

I don't spend any time in locations that are heavily populated with LGBT - so I really have no basis for an informed comment.....the area I live in is rural and still very "straight".

I live in the Philly area. My particular locale is quite working class and many of my neighbors work for the nearby refineries in Marcus Hook. That town being notorious for a few historical reasons:
1, Pirates
2, Pagans MC
3, The 1st openly gay bar on the East Coast

And with Philly having a LGBT community comparible in size to San Francisco you run across those people quite regularly. You work with them, ride the train with them and sometimes even make friends with them. I had a few transgender friends until they moved away and one of my oldest friends used to be gay in the 90s. He's now married to a beautiful woman and they've made a beautiful little boy.

I ride alot. I'm not a weekend warrior. I don't own a car so it's the bikes or the train for me. I also go to a few biker events and shop at Revzilla where lots of bikers tend to congregate. And in my normal travels I meet bikers at gas stations, parking garages, stop lights etc.
In my experience there's a healthy population of gay bikers around here and I even met a handful of lesbians out riding. I think it's fine that those folks enjoy motorcycling. They should. So should everyone IMO.
However, most of the gay men I run across are riding Triumph. So did Steve McQueen and I'm a fan of his.

So is it a thing? Do gay men have a preference for the brand?
You might think they would favor the Rocket but mostly I see them on the Various Bonneville models. Though I did meet a pair riding the big ADV model too.
