She means when [they](http://www.seanet.com/~johnco/gw2.jpg) [were](http://cache.boston.com/globe/nation/packages/kerry/images/day2/06.jpg) _young_. See, that’s not _too_ bad, is it? Imagine those two doing it - it’s really not that bad. Oh, please. It’s so obvious that it’s [Kerry and Edwards](http://www.noedesign.com/dev/KerryEdwards/index.html) havin’ the hot male lovin’. There’s even a [slash community](http://www.livejournal.com/community/johnxjohn/) devoted to them… 😉 ---

But ask if a celeb is gay, and it’s very important to some folks that they make sure we know they don’t care. A similar phenomenon frequently occurs in the soccer threads. ---

Every once in awhile someone starts a thread asking straight guys to fess up to homosexual moments. Those threads fill up really quickly with straight guys who feel the need to confess that they are in fact, the straightest guy on the planet, so “sorry, can’t help you.” ---

Gee whiz! 47 replies, and over 1400 viewings, and all anyone can come up with is Lily Tomlin and Nathan Lane. C’mon people - you **know** you can do better than that! ---

Well if you want more or less unsubstantiated rumor you could try the [Is He/She Gay?](http://www.voy.com/21726/) website. Or the [Gossiplist](http://www.gossiplist.com/). One of my favorite “out” but not well known to be “out” people is CNN’s Anderson Cooper. ---

I once read somewhere that Tucker Carlson is gay. But then I learned on the SDMB that he’s married with kids. Not of course, that that PROVES anything. And it would explain the bow-ties… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whos-gay-in-hollywood/264351.md?page=2)
