IMPROVED REPOST: 17 Gay Actors Who Have Yet To Admit They Are Gay
-
A pathetic article with the above title has been posted at
http://pophitz.com/17-gay-actors-who-have-yet-to-admit-they-are-gay
It includes a number of speculations, smears, and stereotypes that some might find offensive. And while you and I may not think it is a smear for a person to be identified as gay, whether they are or not, the lip-smacking innuendo in this article sure treats the claims as something more shameful than hiding one's private life. Also, much of it is simply idiotic.
The first thing one notices is that little Tommy Mapother, couch-bouncing cult shill acting under his better known screen name in such hits as Risky Business, where he appeared in an attractive pair of tighty-whities (briefs). and All the Right Moves, where careful frame inspection shows his naked willy is visible (no big thing). Or perhaps you may remember him playing against Val Kilmer in Top Gun. (Whether forthcoming Top Gun 2 will have the same manly appeal as the original remains to be determined.)
But while the most widely believed closet story in Hollywood is overlooked, speculation otherwise runs wild.
Seann William Scott "tends to act a little gay." What does that mean? He acts like Harvey Fierstein? Joe McCarthy? Andy Warhol? Ed Koch? Rock Hudson? David Kopay? Justin Fashanu? Maybe dead 911 hero Todd "Let's Roll" Beamer? Or NY Fire Chaplain Mychal Judge, a first responder who died that day at the World Trade Center?
Is "acts a little gay" a code phrase for "lisping, limp-wristed, and swish? There is NO gay "lifestyle."
Want to know what "straight" men act like? Judgmental racist bigots? Child abusers? Wife beaters? Mass murderers? People like the 'phobe who showed up in comments to proclaim, loudly just as if anyone cares, that HE will schlong any queer fairy fruit who raises his paranoid suspicion for fear that without a violent response he will be giving permission?
John Travolta "appeared in several musicals (including dressing as a woman and singing a love song with Christopher Walken)… And Hugh Jackman played a gay singer in his one-man show on Broadway. What's your point? Christopher Walken sang a love song with John Travolta, but you're not implying anything about Walken for some reason.
Josh Hutcherson: Good to know that anyone who posts naked selfies, publicly campaigns against hate, or has ever been in a photo with Cher is a latent fag.
Tyler Perry: "He does have a girlfriend, whom he recently impregnated which might suggest he’s not really gay. In any case he needs to come out." So if you have fathered a child, you are "not really gay." but need to come out annyway? WTF?
Hey, ya wanna know what a gay man looks like? Look in the mirror! "But... but... I'm not gay." That's my point. Wanna know what a "straight" man looks like? Look in the mirror?
BTW, Aussie heartthrob Brenton Thwaites, discussed at

was asked in an interview, "What do you look for in a partner?" and promptly inquired, "Male or female?" That may or may not have been a sendup for what he considered a stupid and inappropriate question, but it does not seem to have triggered any speculation from the author of the clickbait to which these remarks are a response.
Also, for all the wishful speculation about famous ab man Nick Jonas, they don't get around to speculating about him either. Hmm.
