Not to offend miata owners and homosexuals everywhere, I mean, a miata is really a cool car, but some TV shows (especially shows shown in comedy central) show that gay men always rides a miata, so what gives? Why do they labeled a miata for being a gay car? Is it stereotyping? Hope someone shed light to this. Thanks!

It has been labeled a chick car or girly-man car by some people who feel the need to bash others. Every car magazine that has tested the car since 1990 has given it good reviews and it is the #1 roadster of all time in terms of sales; so an awful lot of people must like it.
Of course it is stereotyping. If you're worried about the label don't buy one, if you're secure and like them go for it.

Seeing as the Miata has been the top selling 2-seater roadster for many years, I'm sure that a number of the many people who have bought them could well be gay ...

"Is it stereotyping?" Yes
It could be that a large gay demographic sees the Miata as a desirable car, who knows? If you're asking because you like it and are concerned about being labeled, congratulations. You've just been exposed to discrimination...

I'm not homosexual., but I did work at an advertising agency so I may be able to help you out. Normally they do statistical research to find out who is more likely to purchase a particular car and I guess if they advertise to homosexuals they found some statistics to back that up.

I know of two people who have them, they both have 3 kids and happily married. They "could" be closet homosexuals, not sure. But I doubt it.
