ryan is awesome, and NO, i'm not gay.  it's just not nice to hate people because of that.  also, so what if Sharpay is named after a dog?  it's a cool name!  and yes,ï»¿ gabriella is a *****. she stole EVERYTHING away from Sharpay.  see that's the whole point, ryan does date a girl in HSM2, so that kinda proves that he isn't gay.  just because he dresses nice doesn't mean that he's gay.  and even if he were, it wouldn't matter.
