First off, i'm not gay. But my skin is fair as an asian and does not get tan easily. And i frequent the gym.
Because of this, i like to choose fitting clothes that complements my bod.
I have geezers and even annoying co-workers sometimes calling me a gay or referencing things that i do are gay or always suggesting to pair me up with gay people on the news , which i totally hate. It just boils me up.
How should i react or retort in situations like this? I admit i have too much pride and it gets to my head sometimes. But i don't know the proper way to react when it comes to situations like this.

It IS SEXUAL HARASSMENT. No matter if they say it in a playful way or not. And if IT REALLY bothers YOU then go talk to your human resources department at your job.

Those people are total bores. I would just ignore them. You are lucky they might be trying to set you up with their equally boring daughters. The reason they think that you are gay is because you are stylish, probably very good looking and that is often the stereotype of being gay I am afraid. I would just take it as a compliment and laugh it off. They sound like they are pretty out of touch with what is current anyway. Next office party bring some voluptuous babe with mega cleavage that the geezers can drool over, and when you are pounding on their chests because they need CPR, you can say, "See I told you so".

You're going to get an answer appropriate to the section you've asked this in.
What, particularly, is so friggin' horrible about being gay? You're essentially coming to a bunch of people who never had straight privilige, and whining about losing the smallest part of your own. In other words...I deal with this crap every day, so I'm not feeling particularly sorry for you. If you want to let other people's perceptions rule your life, stop going to the gym, get some flannel or something, and live happily, if compromisingly ever after. Otherwise, ignore them.

Just say (with a no-nonesense but non-defensive attitude...looking the person in the face) "I'm not gay, why don't you knock it off?" Then give a genuine and friendly smile and go on with your business. Repeat that a few times and perhaps they will get the message that they are being boorish.

tell them that no matter how many times they try to pick you up, you are not gay and will never want to stick it in their backsides even if they were women.
or
"the only guys around here that keep looking at other guys body's are you guys, and you are looking at me all the time, so who is the gay guy here? you only call me gay because you are cruising for a dick to suck and are hoping to suck mine, well no way, im straight!" (loudly in front of everyone)

A swift kick in the nut's should do the trick.

Tell them to send their wives over to your place and you will show them how straight you really are.
