I watched an episode of Modern Family and the scene was as follows:
The character Cam is wearing bicycle shorts that are very revealing.
Cam: I can't decide whether to take Lily to the park or the lake. Im leaning towards the park
Claire: I can see that (staring at his crotch)
I know it is a double entendre but i want the reference explained please. It is really bugging me!

I know she means his "leaning" is in the direction of homosexuality. I did not know that "park" is a synonym for gay?

I thought she is referring to what she is seeing when staring at his shorts. Does this somehow imply that he is gay? I want to know what she means by "I can see that"

Maybe it'll take 12 episodes to get this unraveled. Cloudy business.

Okay you want it spelt out? (Sorry Jackie/Faldage-s.) A Cornish guy once told me that if a man is gay he keeps his penis on one side of his shorts. If he is straight it's on the other side. Now can some one say if park means gay. That bit(s), I don't understand.

Alright I understand that reference now. I was simply confused because he said leaning towards the park. I did not understand the sentence in its entirety. I watch many shows and I always understand the subtexts and nuances and whatever. I couldn't handle not understanding this =)

we live near a city park that is reputed to have a trail where gays can make contacts; maybe this is a common phenomenon.

Interesting, those guys should get Iphones (there are apps for organising such encounters) This is an awesome forum, glad I found it, although it seems like I will have to brush up on my linguistics to participate meaningfully.
BTW: do you use American or British English? I don't want to seem grammatically challenged...
