Kenny Chesney He doth protest too much. (regardless of the Renee fiasco - I thought this long before that happened) And uh, some concert I saw him play in a few years ago wearing a rainbow tie-dye shirt with a peace sign on the front and the sleeves cut off? :dubious: Maybe I’ve lived in Boystown for too long, but that was pretty much a badge in my book. ---

> [@Mahna\_Mahna](#): > > Seriously, [Quinto’s] role on So NoTORIous as the flamboyant gay BFF was awfully convincing if he isn’t gay He’s an actor. Are you seriously citing his performance as a gay man to be evidence that he’s a gay man? He was a pretty convincing Vulcan, too. Are you “awfully convinced” that aliens exist? > [@Eyebrows of Doom](#): > > all the weird “getting his phone stolen walking his dog at 2am through a known gay cruising area” stories. I’ve walked dogs late at night through a gay cruising area. But, living in the Castro, I called it “taking the dog out.” Am I already gay, or do I have to lose my phone? Sorry to snark [well, not really, considering the thread], but it’s one thing to say “hey, \_\_\_\_\_ seems kinda gay,” but once all these straws are being wildly flailed and then present in earnest as evidence, the whole exercise seems- :checks forum: -bizarre. ---

> [@Mannish](#): > > Can’t speak for Matthew Broderick, but I’ve been at multiple events with Cuba Gooding, Jr., and he’s about as heterosexual as they come. He’ll nail anything with a slit in the front and a pulse… Yep. Some friends worked on a movie with him (background parts) that filmed in a fairly small town. Word soon spread that he wanted the whole female population to spread for him…and a lot of them did. ---

(Someone mentioned Jay Leno) A woman I know dated Leno in college, but we don’t have the kind of relationship where I’m comfortable asking what they used to do with each other. (Someone mentioned Jake Gyllenhaal) When _Brokeback Mountain_ was current, I read him say something like “maybe I’m not a zero on the Kinsey scale”. It didn’t strike me as something a 0.3 would be likely to say. ---

> [@Southern\_Yankee](#): > > Howard Stern is in the middle of a mini-feud with Jamie Foxx, and he’s been dropping hints that Foxx is gay. He says he “knows” a lot about Foxx that he wouldn’t want made public, and he keeps peppering his remarks with innuendos. I’ve also heard that Foxx is “Toothy Tile” from Ted Casablanca’s “Awful Truth” column. Definitely not gay. I’m pretty connected to the bar scene in Chicago and have reliable first hand accounts proving otherwise. ---

> [@Stoid](#): > > George Clooney I can see it. GC seems to be the default answer to many blind items guesses in that he is reported to swing both ways. If he was totally hetero, he might indulge in chest-beating ladies-man behavior like any typical Hollywood pussy hound. :rolleyes: Or, he might present himself as one of those “happily married for years with a sweaty family of five”. As it is, he lives with a group of buddies in an estate in Switzerland, parades his latest cocktail waitress mistress out in public for a year or so, and then drops her until he finds ANOTHER cocktail waitress to parade in public. I love George, I think this is all fine, and I’m glad he’s living his life on his own terms. ---
