Joel McHale doesn't mind if people think he's gay. In fact, it might even make him blush.

In an interview with The AdvocateThe Soup host addressed a previous statement he told the mag about people believing he was gay because he dresses so well. It turns out, those rumors haven't gone away.

But he doesn't mind.

"Oh, I still see that on Twitter every day. It's flattering," McHale told the magazine.

"I always find it really weird when guys flip out over someone thinking they might be gay," said the Community star. "If a guy gets offended by that, there's something's wrong with him. I take it as a compliment."

For the record, Joel has been married to wife Sarah Williams for 17 years now, and they have two sons together.

But we—women and men alike—can still admire his good looks (and great style) from afar.

Catch Joel on new episodes of The Soup, Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on E!
