The noisy town began seeing the two together on Sunday afternoons driving in the yellow-wheeled buggy and the matched team of bays from the livery stable. Even though there was a mutual relationship between the two, everyone figure Homer was a homosexual. This was a concern because of his name “Homer Barron”. Homer was in relations to the prefix “homo” while Barron was referred to that of a lady who can’t have kids. So in other words, the town stereotyped Homer and called him a homosexual.
