"Bruce" A gay name?

And on the cover of the “Born in the USA” album, it’s pretty clear Springsteen is cruising, what with that big handkechief tugged out of his back pocket.

I never got that… wasn’t Roy Fitzgerald a perfectly okay, perfectly masculine name to begin with?

I don’t know that many gay guys in real life, but 3 of the ones I do know are named Rick! But I don’t know if they have track lighting .*

  • Years back, I made the horrible mistake of taking my wife to see ***Backdraft. *** It really was lousy (I hated it even more than she did), and her payback was to make me see ***Steel Magnolias ***the following week. God, she knew how to hurt a guy!

I agree with Bruce being a gay name. So is Wade, every Wade I’ve ever known was gay.

Well, there was Anita Bryant, some years back, who infamously declared “If God had meant people to be gay, it would have been Adam and Bruce instead of Adam and Eve.”

Robert THE Bruce.

It’s just a stereotypically Aussie name to me.

One of my daughter’s best friends, aged 14, is called Bruce. None of her friends seem to think it’s odd, but then they STILL haven’t noticed that one of their other friends has a total Bond Girl name. I’m waiting for it to dawn on them.

Boy, does he!
