Because people are ignorant and think that a man who is femme must be gay. Funnily enough, while I was browsing the internet I found this and I think it somes up this issue quite well:

I think the only reason this stereotype exists is because gay men tend to feel more comfortable embracing the feminine aspect of their personality more than straight men. I'm willing to bet that the proportion of feminine men is the same amongst all sexualities.

Same. I was watching Germanys Next Topmodel with a bunch of people earlier this year (because I knew one of the contestants, I wouldn't watch it otherwise. Way too many commercials and I don't think those commercials were targeting aro aces... ) and basically everyone who I watched it with commented on how that one guy in the jury is "totally gay". At some point I asked why they think so and if he mentioned it because I didn't remember that, but all they answered with were comments on the way he acted or spoke etc.  Whenever people jump to conclusions about someones orientation I just never want to talk to people again...

We've come a long way since "don't turn your back on a p**f because they'll have a go," (I saw that on It Was Alright In The 70s) and even the sitcom Extras from 10 years ago feels like the most close minded and dated thing with cheap predictable jokes saying "aren't gays funny but don't worry; we're aware we're ripping on a marginalised group so these cheap jokes are OK" but we can only move on from this exasperating bollocks when we stop assuming dumb shit. I wear makeup like once every 3 months and I cocking dare you to dissuade me.
