Alton Brown…
That’s a good one. Knowing the other two members were gay, I automatically assumed Norton was as well, based in part on that impressive 'stache.
Me too. I was under the impression that Alton was gay for years
Theater major, though, which is up there with being a Brit for inducing confusion.
Not to mention the fact that the majority of dog owners he’s helping are attractive women. He doesn’t outright flirt, but you can tell he appreciates what he’s looking at.
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen him help a man – husbands sometimes, but I haven’t seen him do a show with a guy.
Hmmmm. Maybe that’s just to throw us off. (But I doubt it.)
Seth MacFarlane
Keith Olbermann
Seth MacFarlane??
I can kind of see Keith Olbermann though.
Or all of Liza Minnelli’s husbands…
Frank Bielic from Trading Spaces.
He loves to say things like “I enjoy a good ass fuck as much as the next man and know way more show tunes than any straight man should but I prefer women” (an actual quote from a Bill Maher appearance).
There used to be a list of encounters with celebrities by waitresses, flight attendants, and other working people and I remember he was one of the "horndog who’ll try to ‘I’m a rich celebrity’ you into bed’ list.
I’ve heard that rumor many times also. I remember thinking though that even if they are both gay (and certainly I wouldn’t be among those who knew) and even if they don’t have sex together, it doesn’t mean it’s a sham marriage- just an unconventional one.
He seems to have a mix of clients. He’s had male couples, female couples, singles, etc.
Anyway he just looks gay. Like he has Gay hair or something. And he has an effeminate voice. It surprised me that he had a wife and kid.
This. Oooooh, this. Every time he talks about his wife my eyes roll. Actually, the first time he mentioned his wife my involuntary reaction was to shout “WHAT?!”
I think what’s happening are that people are confusing his supercilious, very self-satisfied smirk with this sort of simper.
Does anybody remember the character of Gil from FRASIER? He was the so obviously gay food critic whose wife was “one of Seattle’s most prominent automotive repair technicians”. He was slightly more closeted than Leslie Jordan’s Beverly Leslie on WILL & GRACE.
Here’s a question:
You meet a LOT of those men in the south. I call them the "Queer Paw-Paw Brigade- effeminate aging or old men who were gay in a time and place where that wasn’t an option so they married and had kids and now talk incessantly about the grandbabies and the begonias in some order and can lisp during a sneeze. They range the gamut from exceptionally nice and wonderful people to absolutely disgusting old trolls, are often extremely religious, and make you double take whenever they mention their wife.
They’re almost an archetype down here. They usually have the Gil or Leslie Jordan voice with a combination of southern bygone and acid bitch, so I think of them often as a southern phenomena.
The question though: excepting gay priests, do other parts of the country that aren’t quite as conservative have these men? Would you be likely for example to meet an effeminate old Jewish guy in Brooklyn who prattles on about his baking and flowers he’s arranging for for his granddaughter’s bat-mitzvah, or a femme corn farmer in Indiana who decorates his tractor with seat covers he crocheted himself or an old married lawyer in Seattle who can talk for hours about how much he adored Gene Kelly? Or is it more of a Bible Belt thing?
In the other thread, someone mentioned that Andrew Ridgeley was straight. This comes as a great shock to me. Panache45, what say you?
Did someone cite this yet?
Of course a person’s sexual orientation is what they say it is, at least until you have proof otherwise, so that compliments the “outed as straight” thing. Many gay men- probably most of the ones on the Dope and even those of us who aren’t generally closeted- have passed as straight before.

Peter Griffin: Youuu!
Tony Randall: Tony?
Peter Griffin: Yoooooouuuuuuu…
One of the candidates for Alanis Morrisette’s “You Ought To Know” guy.
Dare I ask what the “peter meter” test is? I’d do a Google search, but…
The gossip I have heard is that it is an open marriage and she’s done Derek Jeter. I give zero credence to my sources, yet over the years celebrity gossip is true in part fairly often.
Great quote! I never thought Seth was gay. Just flamboyantly hetero.
I’d love to see that site if anyone has it!
How you can hear his effeminate voice? He’s whispers!
