Okay, here's where I stand on this issue...
Disclaimer: I've only watched the first (upper left) video at this point.
A lot of this comes down to how you (as an individual) defines what it means to be gay. I personally feel that "gay" means having a homosexual orientation. In other words, a person who is sexually attracted to and/or romantically attracted to a member of the same sex is gay (regardless of what "acts" they do). Therefore, a gay person who only has sex with women is still GAY because he is performing acts outside of his orientation. With that in mind, I see no difference between that scenario and a straight person doing "gay" acts (for whatever reason). That in itself doesn't make an individual "gay".
Now some people think that being "gay" means performing gay acts, and if that is your opinion there is nothing wrong with that. The problem I have with this definition of "gay" is that it is completely subjective and variable. By that definition, anyone who's ever committed a homosexual act or even had a homosexual thought, under any circumstances at any point in their life is GAY! It also means that any guy can be accused of being "gay" as long as they have done something that meets someone elses definition of a "gay act". For example, I could say that any male who has ever watched a porno featuring a nude male actor in it is gay because he was aroused by something that features nude men and erect penises. I could also hypothetically say that any and every person serving in the military is gay because at some point or another they have showered openly with members of the same sex. After all, if you take a shower with another naked guy you must be gay right? And since nobody today was drafted into the military, it pretty much means you are "gay for pay" right?
Obviously, I don't buy that explaination and I doubt most other people would either. Yet, that's is exactly what it must mean if you go by that definition of gay. It also means that anyone who's ever had a heterosexual thought or committed a heterosexual act is by default straight (whether they are gay or not). So the "what acts you've committed before" definition just doesn't work when it comes to sexuality. Your orientation is just that, (what you prefer).
Having said all that, after watching the first guy.....HE'S GAY, and in denial! That is my prejudgement of him based on his mannerisms, how he comes off, and the way he answered some of those questions. I don't believe for one second that he is "straight". I think that HE believes that he is straight based on what he does at home (having a wife and children), but again, that doesn't make you straight! But I do believe that there are actually straight guys that will do homosexual acts either for pay, because of a dare, because they are curious/experimenting, or because they are drunk and/or on ex at the time, etc.
