Paul Stanley is NOT gay - that’s a rumour made up by gay men who WISH Paul was gay! Rob Halford is gay but not Paul Stanley - Paul was always a ladies man who had sex with thousands of women after KISS concerts. Paul & Gene were the ones who always got the girls, and Paul is now married to his 2nd wife, and he’s the father of 4 kids - one son from his 1st wife, and 3 kids from his current wife. People falsely assume that Paul is gay just because he has a “pretty” face & sensuous moves onstage, but that does NOT mean he’s gay!
2009 is greatly relieved to hear you say that. It’s been worried for a while.
When you get right down to it, what would constitute “actual substantial proof”? Even if you actually had sex with him, that would not be “actual substantial proof.”
But what about Justin Bieber?
Hi, Paul’s publicist! waves
My theory (based entirely on reading too much intertoobz):
-
“Outing” is a ritual that makes certain ghey folk feel a positive vibe about themselves and solidarity with teh ghey in general.
-
If you question said ritual, the “outer” will want to know whether you too have teh ghey (solidarity hug), or are just a 'phobe (chewing-out and possible suggestion you are in denial about your ghey).
Again, my theory. No ghey is imputed to either participant in the quoted exchange.
Yeah, I want some proof other than, “A post on the internet said…”
Given that Stanley has twice been married to women and fathered several children, implying that yes, he has had sex with those women, it would be difficult to describe him as a “flaming homo” regardless of whether or how many men he may or may not have had sex with, or how he dresses, struts, or talks. He is either a vamping heterosexual, or he’s a bisexual.
Really, what’s with this “either/or” business? Aren’t we more enlightened than that? Let’s review: people who mostly have sex with the opposite gender are heterosexual. Those who mostly have sex with the same gender are homosexual. Those who have sex with either gender are bisexual.
And frankly, I don’t ever recall hearing that Stanley has a taste for men ever before. Is there a cite for that.
My boy preferring [now deceased] bi uncle has 2 daughters. Your argument is false.
Well…I mean, he did name his band “Tool.” And this used to be their logo.
I’m not in the habit of checking the date when opening a thread, so getting burned with zombies really gets on my nerves. Seriously, why does anyone bump a two-year-old thread?
Because they found the thread on Google and didn’t check the dates. It’s not in the slightest bit hard to understand the mistake.
On the topic itself, I’m always somewhat bemused by the “KISS are the most promiscuous band in the word” thang. Every single aspect of the band and its image is carefully controlled and manufactured for maximum publicity. They are to rock music what professional wrestling is to sport.
Ask yourself this: if you were a high camp, image focussed, voraciously publicity hungry band and your target market was teenage wannabe bad boys, would you put about the idea that the band members are sex gods even if it wasn’t true? Of course you would.
The promiscuity thing seems to emanate from the band itself. I don’t doubt they were promiscuous (as all band members in high profile band can be), but I’d need a lot more by way of evidence before I believed their hype.
The OP said musicians. I don’t know what those guys are, but I draw the line at calling the Insane Clown Posse musicians.
I can say with some authority that this is indeed all that matters to a headbanger.
We don’t care what color you are, where you’re from, what language you sing in, etc. … as long as it rocks.
Yah there’s something wrong with that. Bucket lists on both sides of the aisle depend on accurate information.
If ever there was a thread that cried out for Wykyd Spectre, surely it is this one.
What’s really weird is that Gene Simmons has long maintained that he’s been faithful to Shannon Tweed since they got together over almost 30 years ago. So he banged those thousands of groupies in like since a seven year time period.
If he performed as well as he says he performed, how did have time to do anything else?
I’m crazy about KISS and have seen them several times since 1979, and have no ulterior motive when I say that I’ve never seen such mincing, effeminate moves by Bowie, Jagger, or Freddie Mercury. Sensuous is the last word I would use to describe his hip-waggling prance on a stage designed to resemble a runway and complete with a dangling disco ball. It isn’t sexy…it’s outrageously funny, like watching a fun drag show. (At every single show since Paul Stanley climbed aboard: a runway. Every inch utilized as Stanley does his little turns on the catwalk. On the catwalk, on the catwalk, he shakes his little tush on the…)
Psst! mamacita67, your agenda is showing. Are you spamming every message board with your Manly Stanley spiel, or just this one and Answers.com?
Agreed. The only gay agenda I’ve ever witnessed is an attempt to establish kinship with interesting, diverse people. And interesting, famous gay people with diverse habits and activities are awesome figureheads for a growing legion of out and self-assured gays. The cooler the frontman, the cooler the band. And KISS is still campy and cool, watching Stanley strut around is a hoot. Always a fun show.
(And it might also benefit a jealous boyfriend or spouse to impugn Paul Stanley as gay if a certain mamacita bears a hefty crush on his skin-tight, leopard-printed, stilletto-teetering, hair-teased, makeup-caked glamorous self.)
I don’t know if they’re hard-rocking, womanizers or musicians.
Edit: Sigh, didn’t realize there were two pages.
