You don’t think you might be reaching just a tad with those cites? Monaghan is described as having MacKenzie Astin as a roommate and as living with. That to me doesn’t confirm they are having hot monkey sex or that they are life partners. The very fact that Sean is so casual about mentioning it suggests to me that they in fact were roommates. If Monaghan were gay and Sean was so open about it don’t you think that wouldn’t have been major tabloid fodder?
I’m going with Kyla’s cousin who seems a lot closer to the reality than those two quotes.
A good start is not telling anyone what you plan to do. Then you just drop hints to people about what you’ve heard from unspecified sources, sit back and wait.
Can we have a new metaphor, please? I’m getting a little tired of people using “left-handed” to mean gay, or shitty, or anything other than not being right-handed or ambidextral. How about “(quarterback/wide receiver) for the Browns”?
Ahh, new territory! (And my favorite celeb… I adore him.) Eddie’s “straight”, in the traditional sense - he was born male and is attracted to women. According to his definition, though, he’s transgender, and feels as though he should have been born female. Here’s a link to a pretty comprehensive fansite with loads of interviews:
That’s not so—we merely note that being married is not in itself proof of 100 percent heterosexuality. There are plenty of closeted gay men married to women.
You are right, however, that the standard of evidence isn’t very rigid in this thread, but given the sub rosa nature of homosexuality until recently and the still potent prejudice against casting openly gay male actors as romantic leads and action heroes, the verdict on a particular celeb’s sexual orientation is going to be based largely on circumstantial evidence and rumor.
HOLY CRAP! This is crazy. I mention the thought of gay NHL players last night, and then I read this today…
Mike Danton, who plays with the Saint Louis Blues (who just got eliminated from the playoffs my San Jose) has been arrested for attempting to hire someone to kill his gay lover…
Again, HOLY CRAP! Not the best way to come out of the closet…
On a lighter note (in relation to the news above), I woke up the other day and was surprised to find that I was gay…
I had been in a depression for two weeks! Ba-dum-bum!
Actually, here’s one I was surprised to find out about, since I grew up watching him grow up on television. Danny Pintauro, who played Jonathan Bower on Who’s The Boss, was apparently engaged to a girl while in university when he decided to stop fooling himself and accept that he was gay. I guess the girl was devastated. That one surprised me.
I was surprised when I found out that Rosie O’Donnell was gay. I mean, she’s so manly.
I object to your suggestion and as an Ohioian, I have to ask: why do you want to insult the gay folks? What have they done to be compared to the Browns for goodness sake (one of the worst teams ever–even when they got a chance to start all over)? Besides that, I don’t think any of the gay folks I know would EVER wear the Browns colors together (or at all, for that matter). Let’s find something a wee bit less prejudicial here, shall we?
One celebrity who I’ve seen outed in the press but hasn’t been mentioned yet is Melanie Brown, aka the former Scary Spice. I read she is now openly living with another woman. Maybe everyone else knew she was gay but figured she no longer qualified as a celebrity.
Who the hell uses “left handed” to mean shitty? I was using it to mean “a minor and largely unimportant difference in one individual from the majority of the human race.” I think it’s an entirely apt comparison.
I just can’t let this go. Gandalf had no sexual inclinations for anybody, at least, none that he would have pursued. You figure, given 3000 years of wandering around, a guy like that couldn’t get a little nooky if he set his mind to it? Gandalf was, literally, an angel, and had a Ring of Power, to boot. Either quality alone would have bestowed some killer mojo, but together he’d be a one-man-army of Barry-the-White seductive devastation. The hottest elven babes (male or female) would have spread for him easier than raspberry jam if he willed it.
No, the sad truth of Gandalf’s life is he was devoted selflessly to helping others defeath Sauron, and that occupied all of his time and efforts. He did get to relax occasionally, drink a good beer and smoke some good weed, but those moments were few and far between for the Grey Pilgrim. Nope, his business in Middle Earth didn’t involve gettin’ busy with anyone; though if anybody deserved a bone-shakingly sublime lay, it was him. Poor guy.
I wouldn’t put it below that Saruman though. Who knows what he was up to in that tower of his, breeding orcs and men and who knows what else. Radagast is something of a problem, as he seemed to prefer animals. Best to not even go there, methinks.
No, it doesn’t. Even if they are both gay (Mackenzie Astin is definitely gay incidentally, and is in fact very active in gay theater in L.A. & San Diego, but is evidently not famous enough to be listed on most “famous gay guy” boards) it’s no proof they’re lovers- what they do or don’t do in their bedroom is something only they can answer and there’s no reason why they need to. However, it is odd that an actor (Dominic) with a far-above-average income (i.e. doesn’t need a roommate) and who has already been the subject of gay rumors in an industry where that is considered to be a career detriment and who has never been romantically linked with a woman would move in with an attractive gay male in order to save a few dollars, but odder things have happened.
This being the cousin who said that Dom & Mack don’t live together (an illusion that Sean Astin, Dom’s friend and co-worker for several years and Mack’s brother for his entire life, seems to possess?) Sounds like a reliable source to me (and if you’ve ever read Call Me Anna you know that Sean has the genes for hallucination).
You’ve never heard the phrase “cack-handed”, then.
How do you feel about people who describe things as being gay (as in “so gay”)? How would you react if someone used the word “spastic” as an insult? It’s no different, and nobody says gays and CP sufferers who complain about that “have issues” because they know using those terms is stupid, childish and prejudicial.
That said, it’s not my intent to hijack this thread so let’s return to the topic in hand.
That being said however, the one I never bought was Anne Heche. Maybe she was just curious and trying it out but I thought she seemed to conveniently become a lesbian at a time when Ellen was all the talk in Hollywood and Anne’s career may not have been taking off as fast as she liked. QUOTE]
Apparently, Steve Martin thought the same way (see: Heather Graham’s character in Golfinger).
I don’t even think there’s a question anymore that Jodie Foster is gay. Maybe she’s had a boyfriend or two, but I am quite sure that wasn’t all ‘experimentation’ in college.
The (sad) truth is that there are very few (if any) actors who will make their sexual orientation a secret unless they are bi/gay. If they aren’t at all (though, really, who isn’t, just a little?) they’ll just come right out and say so. It’s whenever they veer off into ‘That’s my private life, and I don’t like to talk about it…’
I don’t want to bang on about Eddie Izzard, but in one interview, he said something I thought was SO interesting. I’m paraphrasing, but the gist of it was that even now, when gay and lesbian people have been coming out for years and it’s not nearly as much of a brouhaha when they do, you’re still not going to get loads of people admitting it - it’s still “bad for your career”. (This was in response to someone saying that Izzard is only successful BECAUSE he is a transvestite. He said if that were the case, more people would be out.) He said right now it’s still considered “weird” to be of any alternative sexuality and “no one asks Samuel L. Jackson, ‘so what’s it like, being heterosexual?’”
