Like I said, depends on the friendship and the environment. If two friends get too close, they may be called faggots, or get jokes about them being gay for each other (meant to be deeply insulting because homophobia, yay). Maybe it's just the fact that I live in the southeast US. I don't know whether you're a man or not, also just my personal experience.

It doesn't. There is literally no where in the world where there is a stigma against men having male friends.
