    For those that think LGBT folks are currently in hell, back in the day even the most famous entertainers couldn’t come out. Despite Elton John and Liberace being up-in-your-grill gay, it was not spoken of. They were merely a little “light in the loafers”.

    When I was a kid and Rock Hudson got AIDS the world was stunned to find out he was gay. Talk about in the deep closet!

        Oh yeah, Hudson was notoriously gay in Hollywood but no one ever talked about it. Kinda similar to how the TOS cast knew George Takei was gay but no one said anything to help protect him.

        Us queers been around forever

          Literally forever for hominids. There are studies to back me, but I think gay people are an evolutionary advantage. Really weird that people think “it’s not natural”.

          Gay men are an obvious advantage to the tribe. They get a body with the strength and endurance of a man, but who won’t add the burden of a child. Gay women, much the same deal. You get a nurturing member, who as a major bonus can lactate if need be, no baby burden. Gay are force multipliers!

    My mum said there were a lot of disappointed women in the UK when Freddie Mercury turned out to be gay.

    I guess she was one of them

        Yeah, and I can’t believe Liberace was gay. I mean, women loved him! I didn’t see that one coming.

              A third gender person who uses he/him pronouns (and considers themselves 70% masculine and 30% feminine) and is married to a woman and has only ever been married to women. Mhm. Clearly gay despite the fact that the word gay literally does not show up once on that page in any context to his personal orientation.

              Someone clearly skipped the reading assignment.

              No. I don’t think I did.

              Now you, on the other hand? What made you look at a post about Celebrities you didn’t know were gay yet being obviously so and went “Ah yes. A straight trans person!” Literally nowhere on that wikipage does it say that they’re gay and I cannot find anything anywhere saying that they are. I can, however, find the fact that he was married to 3 women and had a bunch of kids with them while being currently married to a woman.

              I don’t think I did considering the entire post here was whether or not someone was GAY.

              Now if you want to continue the phenomenally unnecessary bitchy tone, by all means. But I’ma start throwing it back.

                Now you, on the other hand?…

                All I did was share a link specifying who the person you were replying to was talking about.

                If you wanna be a cunt, at least direct it at the right person.

                  But I am directing it at the right person. You see, you’re the person who said the words. That’s why I said the words to you. That is generally how conversations go. I’m glad I could be your teacher on these matters. Now, as for where my issue lies in you being a snarky little bitch for absolutely no reason, you posted the link of Richard O’Brien. You are correct in saying that you did put a link specifying the person. This is why I said “A straight screenwriter” because it was dismissive of the idea of Richard O’Brien being someone that fit this post.

                  This is the part where you come in and where I respond to you by the way.

                  YOU said “Someone skipped the reading assignment.” I know. I checked before making my last comment because I didn’t want to direct my cuntiness at the wrong person. However, as I found, my targeting array was functioning optimally. So when YOU said someone skipped the reading assignment, YOU because the sole focus of this because now YOU were arguing. Either that Richard O’Brien did fit (which is nonsense) or that my assessment of him being a straight screenwriter was wrong (It wasn’t).

                  Now should I get the crayons? Or have we both had enough bitchiness for a couple of days and are we both willing to just walk the fuck away from this like adults?

                  You will notice I’ve only reflected the energy that I’ve given. When you gave me the flat link I gave a flat response. When you got vaguely sarcastic, I got vaguely sarcastic. When you got actively bitchy, I got actively bitchy. Do you want to act like an adult so I can too?
