Why is everyone assuming this Julian person is honestly “straight?”
Has no one ever heard of “closet queen.”
Then there’s the ever popular “bisexual.” Julian could be one of these guys who — whether genuinely or only technically bisexual — sleeps/gets involved with both men and women (often for the wrong reasons in the latter case).
Lots of gay/bi boys flirt with the gay professional scene for money but stay in the closet when push comes to shove because they think coming out will adversely affect their careers. It happened decades ago and, sadly, it’s still happening today.
In any case, Genre COULD have found an attractive gay couple for the cover if they had had any sense of pride
