A Dallas Cowboy in DFW can't go to the cleaners without it becoming a media event. I've dealt with a few as clients and even the third stringers create a buzz in the office. The idea that Aikman, the biggest name of em all, could live as a gay man in DFW and not have it revealed before now is a bit far fetched. Especially in a world where everyone has a camera phone.
I've always suspected Skip Bayless was back of these stories. That dude is vicious; his book on Tom Landry was nothing more than a hit-piece. He managed to find everyone who ever had an ax to grind against Landry; players he cut, traded, didn't play enough, etc and gave em a forum to bash away. If you didn't know who Landry was before you read the book you'd wind up thinking he was a combination of Gilligan, Adolf Hitler and Robert Tilton. Aikman probably offended Bayless in some way and the gay stories was Bayless' revenge.
