Is he? Does anyone know the straight dope?

[Brutus]

I know there is all sorts of stuff about him going to gay bars, having a gay live-in ‘companion’, spending several days at a gay resort in the caribbean and whatnot, but let us not be hasty. I don’t think that Matt has actually openly stated that he was gay.

I could be wrong, though.

Neither did J. Edgar Hoover.

David Brock, in his book Blinded By the Right, claims that Drudge repeatedly came on to him after he (Brock) came out publicly.

An excerpt from Brock’s book (pg. 283)

Drudge picked me up at a friend’s house in the Hollywood Hills in his red Geo Metro, arriving with an impressive bouquet of yellow roses. Jesus, I thought, Drudge thinks we’re going on a date. After dinner at the famed West Hollywood restaurant Dan Tana’s, he suggested we go bar hopping along the gay strip on Santa Monica Boulevard, which Drudge navigated like a pro. … (Six months hence, I received the following e-mail message from Drudge, under the subject heading “XXX.” Drudge wrote: "Laura [Ingraham] spreading stuff about you and me being fuck buddies. I should only be so lucky. ")

Drudge was also outed in a book by gossip columnist Jeanette Walls called Dirtwhich features an interview with an alleged ex-boyfriend of Drudge.

Drudge himself has publicly denied being gay. He admits that he does go to gay bars but claims that he also goes to straight bars and he’s definitely not gay, even though he wears that hat.

I think the hat points to some weird, Jack Webb style, crypto-asexuality.

Well, Liberace and Roy Cohn never openly stated they were gay either.

Let’s hope that Matt “Real Man” Drudge can help push through that Constitutional Amendment that would ban those “awful” same sex marriages.

Being interviewed by Camille Paglia and Maer Roshan:

CAMILLE PAGLIA: As a personality on the media landscape, Matt, you seem like a loner. You’ve been guarded about your personal life, and rarely make the usual media rounds. Why do you stay so mysterious?

MATT DRUDGE: Because I think my private life would make my public persona a lot less interesting. Once you take the mask off Batman he seems a bit diminished. Not that I’m equating myself to that character. Or Spider-Man. Or the Incredible Hulk. But if you’re in the public eye to the degree that I am, you want to preserve a bit of mystery. . . .

PAGLIA: Expanding on the subject of sex and morality, what’s your attitude toward outing?

DRUDGE: I have never done it myself. I certainly could, but I prefer to leave that to Maer. I don’t do a lot of sex stuff—and I know that sounds ironic in light of my most famous story, of [Sidney] Blumenthal beating his wife, allegedly—but it happens to be true. I tend to stay away from all that, because I don’t know where it will end. I was even uncomfortable with the story about Bill Bennett’s gambling, because he’s a private citizen going to a casino. I’m trying to maintain a site that is going for action and intrigue, but if I just start printing who’s gay, who’s straight, or who did a mound of coke last night, it all goes downhill very quickly. . . .

ROSHAN: Do you have partners or lovers or people you are more intimate with?

DRUDGE: Huh? [Laughs] I’m going to pass on that. He cleverly waits until the very end, of course.

[Otto]

Oh yeah, if he wasn’t known to be gay before that interview, people have to think he’s gay now. Straight people never trot out that “my private life is private” line because it’s unlikely their careers will be damaged by revelations about their heterosexuality.

I hope he’s not gay. We don’t want him.

[Liberal]

Matt Drudge? What a lousy hypocritical little fuc… Oh. Sorry. This is General Questions. I think.

[Excalibre]

@jayjay

I hope he’s not gay. We don’t want him.

For the record, I won’t have sex with you, Matt Drudge.

[Guinastasia]

@jayjay

Well, we straights don’t want him, either!

[Loach]

Matt Drudge? What a lousy hypocritical little

Not trying to start a debate. Just want to know why it would make him a hypocrite. I don’t read his column and hear him on radio on occasion. I am familiar with him in relation to some of the stories he has been a part of only. I have not heard anything which might make him anti-gay. If there is something please cite.

[dnooman]

So, he’s not gay, but his boyfriend is?

@dnooman

Maybe Drudge doesn’t inhale. Ya think?

If you have information that Drudge supports the Family Marriage Amendment, please cite it. This is the General Questions board, not Great Debates.
