Surely you jest? Maybe because she played a gay character in Boys Don’t Cry, or that she looks like a female Matt Damon? Plus she was married for a while to Chad Lowe, and is now dating her (male) agent, or something. She’s a tomboy, for sure, but I’m not getting gay.
In a weird twist, I always thought David Foley was gay, but apparently he’s been married twice and has some kids. But still…
I didn’t read the whole thread, so sorry if this is a repeat, but
PAUL STANLEY IS QUEER!!!
I doubt he will ever come out.
It’s possible, but my foggy memory is telling me it was a black guy.
Ah, I didn’t know that. Maybe I’ve read a story too quickly and got the wrong end of the stick then. Thanks for fighting my ignorance!
I’ve been telling my wife for years that I think he’s gay (and hot as hell). She doesn’t buy it, but my gaydar is pretty damn good and he sets mine off in a big way. I wish he would come out if for no other reason than to dispel so many stupid stereotypes about what a gay man is supposed to be like. Liberace he ain’t.
Paula Poundstone. Or has that already been announced?
Viggo Mortensen?
I don’t know- he was married to a pretty fierce punk rocker, and they have a son. I don’t get that vibe from him.
And speaking of not getting it, WTF was that remark about Dom DeLouise upthread? Again, a guy with like 10 kids… you think so?
She had some legal difficulty over allegations of impropriety with a foster daughter, but that was settled. I thought during that, it was pretty much acknowledged that - yes, she’s gay, but no, she didn’t mess with that girl.
Edit: Paula Poundstone - Wikipedia
OK, apparently I confused the girl she was accused of molesting with a foster kid. She denied & was cleared of that. She did get in trouble for driving while intoxicated with foster kids in her car. And no mention in Wikipedia one way or another about her being gay. This was all back in 2001.
OK, I’m a little too interested in Paula Poundstone’s sexuality (yes, I have thought she was kinda cute over the years). Anyway, google results indicate she may just be asexual.
He has three children. People magazine, May 9, 1994:
This sort of thing makes me more likely to think someone is gay :rolleyes: “Doth protest too much” and all that…
My pick is Ricky Shroeder. I know he’s married with kids (his wife was on some design show as a contestant recently!). And on his own merits he doesn’t ping my dar. But you see, he looks like me. And the other two celebrities who looked like me when I was younger have both since come out (NPH and Chad Allen). So I figure it’s only a matter of time… 
And the guy who played Tyr Anasazi on Andromeda. Although maybe just because he looks good in chainmail and likes to walk around barefoot. 
Although since then he has played gay on a tv show (with kissing!), so by the opposite of “doth protest” principle he must be straight…
I don’t know about that.
A lot of those men were young in the times when homosexuality was a criminal offence that would get you locked up, so there was more pressure on them to get be seen with women and/or married and live an outwardly straight life than there is now.
So that could easily have been why they got married - as a cover.
As for them having children, I don’t think that’s completely compelling evidence either. It’s nothing like true that any man who is married must be the father of his wife’s children. And it never has been. How many times, even now, do we hear of some shockingly high number of husbands have raised children that weren’t theirs and that the men never knew? And in the times when homosexuality was illegal and gay men marrried women to give themselves a veneer of respectability, divorcing your wife for adultery could end up giving you more to be concerned about than her - namely a spell in the slammer, if she decided that you being nasty enough to divorce her for infidelity meant she would be nasty right back and get you arrested.
Not all women who had babies to men other than their husbands were married to gay men, of course. But if it’s a marriage of convenience for a gay man, the wife should get some perks, too. Having a husband who needs you as a cover for his illegal inclinations could have been a useful trade off for women who were involved with other men; married men, for instance. Or men who just wouldn’t marry them. If you’re in a marriage of convenience with a man who is gay and you’re having a baby with a man who will not or can not marry you, then your gay husband is a ready made daddy to the outside world and he probably thinks this baby will assist in the outward impression of his being not gay at all.
Almost all of the men listed are/were American. Can anyone name any instance of two adults in 20th century America, engaging privately (e.g., not in some park or restroom) and consensually in non-commercial homosexual activity, being criminally prosecuted for it?
That would be Sheila James Kuehl, IMDB bio, now an attorney and California state senator.
I thought the whole of KITH were gay, I thought it was part of their shtick, but it would seem only one of them is actually gay, and they fooled me.
From Wikipedia, Lawrence v. Texas:
The petitioners, medical technologist John Geddes Lawrence, then 55, and Tyron Garner (1967–2006),[2] then 31, were alleged to have been engaging in consensual anal sex in Lawrence’s apartment in the outskirts of Houston between 10:30 and 11 p.m. on September 17, 1998 when Harris County sheriff’s deputy Joseph Quinn entered the unlocked apartment, with his weapon drawn, arresting the two.
I’ve seen a couple of people who seem to believe that Alan Cumming’s marriage was “fake” because he’s gay. I thought that Cumming was openly bisexual, which would mean a relationship with a woman would be as “real” for him as a relationship with a man.
Nope, he’s bi. And I doubt he’ll ever come out too.
