I would argue that sucking one's own dick would have to be the most gay you could be.

What is a classical education? I would argue it’s impossible for an autodidact to be classically educated since such learning took place in schools, colleges, universities and academies which are now defunct, superseded, reworked or thoroughly dispossessed of a department for the classics. The environment mattered: being in the classrooms, writing theses, studying in the library, boarding with like-minded people, drinking and smoking and rambling about life and truth in the near-by bars. You’ll never be classically educated on your own: it takes an entire institution. Of course, you could take a degree in the humanities and be lectured by women about women, or by communists about communism, or by homosexuals about homosexuality, or all three about the women, communism and homosexuality of the classics, but you’ll never have a classical education. It is past, gone, evaporated, twisting away in every direction like smoke.

Then you're only gay if you DON'T suck dick, and the most anti-gay dick there is to suck (the element which is inverse to a man's own dick) is my own

So, in general, most American universities will have some sort of way to find out what classes you need to take/choose to get a particular degree, and most of those classes will have the syllabi available somewhere which should broadly (or very specifically if you're lucky) describe what that class teaches and with what texts. You can then go get those texts yourself and learn basically anything at a university level that isn't highly specialized or hands on.

There are also many "great books of western civilization" lists floating around which you can follow.

Learn Latin, study Latin grammar, read the classics, and move on to rhetoric and dialectic, the quadrivium; in the meantime, learn Greek as well.

There are some online classical education projects that can help, like the Lyceum Institute; search for them and you'll find them.
