What's with all the obviously gay celebs coming out? Not that my gaydar is all that super-sensitive, but for once, I'd like to be surprised. Can't they find a real closet case to out? And, no, Ted Haggart doesn't count because he wasn't very famous. Anyone you want outed? Personally, I'm desperately holding out for Gerard Butler (http://imdb.com/name/nm0124930/).

Lance Bass was good enough I'm Content

Mark Oaten was a huge surprise. You probably won't have a clue who he is, but trust me when I say that one came right out of the blue.

All the celebrities I would like to see come out are also coincidentially the ones I'm attracted to.

I have like zero gaydar (my boyfriend's is like, super-powered though), and even I didn't need anyone to tell me David Hyde Pierce is gay. I didn't know about Neil Patrick Harris, but then I don't really pay attention to him.

So he can show you his Sparta?






god that was awful...move along, nothing to see here...

There are some people who just break the gaydar by breathing and I think Crane would be the perfect example of that.

Well ... a "DUH!" moment is important sometimes.

It's nice to get a reminder that even the party designed to 'keep the bastards honest' has a sex scandal once and a while.

That the politician with a wife and two kids who got caught fucking a male prostitute? The UK was years ahead of its master, it would seem.

It was two prostitutes, and, to use the technical term, coprophilia, right in the middle of his campaign for the leadership of his party. He'd withdrawn from the contest the day before, which everyone thought was due to a lack of support. The full truth was far more surprising.

shock of the century indeed. i think tom cruise should just come out and say it already.

I wonder how scientology would take that.......

Aha, see, I knew why I always said I pictured you as Niles Crane. :cool:

"Mom, Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet."

I'd bet Ozzy Osbourne would come out if he was thirty years younger. I mean, back in the 70s, he looked like a girl and sang (no offense) like a stoned girl sometimes.

"Mom, Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet."

he's definitely having too much fun in there with R Kelly and Travolta.

<Screeches in fear> I wonder if Georgie was submarining with his pink torpedo the rest of the male cheerleading crew.

Ooh, bad image. Must think of things that are tasteful. Mmm, Jake Gyllenhall naked...oh, that tastes good.

David Hyde Pierce's sexuality was one of the most ill kept secrets in Hollywood. Sort of like Anderson Cooper.

Aha, see, I knew why I always said I pictured you as Niles Crane. :cool:

An Usian?! For shame!

Bill Gates looks like the kind of guy who is hiding something in the closet

Eh-Euuw.

Brings a whole new meaning to stomaching things.

I didn't think the actor was gay just because of the character he played on a tv show.

Oh, although from the article he seemed to have chosen a classy way to do it (briefly mentioning his partner's name in an interview rather than like hold a press conference to be like "omg, everyone cares that I'm gay."). Like I really wouldn't mind if more celebs came out like that... either that or just showing up with a date on the red carpet or something.

Sort of like Anderson Cooper.

I thought he was out. He can't possibly still be in?

Brings a whole new meaning to stomaching things.

Well, she's made it clear that she isn't taking any shit from him.

I didn't think the actor was gay just because of the character he played on a tv show.

You clearly need to upgrade your gaydar.

The real shock was Simon Hughes when the Lib Dems had him as the 'Straight Choice' up against Peter Tatchell in the Bermondsey by-election. To benefit from a homophobic campaign and go on to reveal he is gay himself is just wrong.

Well, she's made it clear that she isn't taking any shit from him.

Damn you, I fought so hard not to go there.

Why is this an issue, exactly?

I'd bet Ozzy Osbourne would come out if he was thirty years younger. I mean, back in the 70s, he looked like a girl and sang (no offense) like a stoned girl sometimes.
girly != gay

Its not...but its fun

It's not my fault all fags look the same to your homophobic eyes.

You clearly need to upgrade your gaydar.
... Fraser acted just like Niles on that show and Kelsey Grammar is straight (married, last I heard)... actors are paid to play a part, the part they play doesn't have to reflect their real life at all (plus on the show, he was straight...).

Also, just because somebody "acts gay" doesn't mean they are.

Damn you, I fought so hard not to go there.

It was unavoidable, just once. :p

So he can show you his Sparta?

I've already seen his Sparta. 300 is not the only film he did where he was skimpily clad.

god that was awful...

On the contrary, it was a thing of beauty.

Well, she's made it clear that she isn't taking any shit from him.

So he'll be taking and she'll be giving?

I always think of the chief in the muppets (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUvF3MHMY48&mode=related&search=) :confused::D

I'm giggling whenever I read one of Fassigens posts now! :D Sorry Fass!

It has nothing to do with the character, and everything to do with David Hyde Pierce being a screaming queen. His closeted status has been known... since, well, he was known. Get with the programme.

Also, just because somebody "acts gay" doesn't mean they are.

Oh, sweety, that is so naïve. Just because someone "acts straight" doesn't mean they are, but "acts gay"? The chance goes up by at least 80 percentage units.

*shrug* Does it make him any less superb a comedic actor?

I don't know anything about the actor outside his role on the show, I don't tend to follow hollywood gossip or anything like that.

*shrugs* I don't think that's necessarily true when it comes to actors who are in character though since they should act however their character is supposed to act (that is if they're any good at what they do).

You must lack a gaydar completely because even beyond the character, he was flaaaaaming.

Oh, for dog's sake, let the character go. This is much more than that. This is the gayness that blinds you lest you avert your eyes and put on some D&Gs.

I never saw him beyond the character, I've only ever seen the man when he was on Fraiser.

And, and in every scene his faggotry spellbound.

D&Gs?

*gasps* I didn't know people like you still existed. *makes note to up the agenda*

girly != gay

Just a hypothetical.

Really. Amazingly, his wife is giving him a second chance.

can you get your husband steam cleaned?

there are just some things that are so yucky that after you find them out you cant bear to share a piece of toast, how could you be intimate?

I guess Kat hasn't seen the website (http://eng.dolcegabbana.it/deg.asp?toSection=intimo_uomo)...

Nah, I hadn't. Got a pair of D&G sunglasses, though.

I'm poor... and if I wasn't I'd be spending my money on music or a nice telescope instead of some sort of high end sunglasses(? I'm guessing from the context).

Nah, I hadn't. Got a pair of D&G sunglasses, though.

Postpix, kthnx.

I don't know about that guy, but I always had(and still have) a suspicion about your sexual tendencies.

There's always the small possibility that he could in fact be a homosexual version of Laca/Crackadaemon (ie a bitter-ass athiest who pretended to be a fundamentalist fruitcake to try and prove his point.)

I knew it...

Fass is a heterosexual female Catholic. From The United States of America.

There's always the small possibility that he could in fact be a homosexual version of Laca/Crackadaemon (ie a bitter-ass athiest who pretended to be a fundamentalist fruitcake to try and prove his point.)
Oh, don't tease us girls with a thing for men who have sexy voices and cute accents by suggesting that Fass could be straight.

D&Gs?

Deleuze & Guattari.

Oh, don't tease us girls with a thing for men who have sexy voices and cute accents by suggesting that Fass could be straight.

Not only is he straight, but he is a woman.

So you are out of luck unless you like that sort of thing.

Deleuze & Guattari.

Lets add you to the thread title shall we? Unless you are female or looked that up.

There's always the small possibility that he could in fact be a homosexual version of Laca/Crackadaemon (ie a bitter-ass athiest who pretended to be a fundamentalist fruitcake to try and prove his point.)

Lacadaemon? Huh? When did that happen?

Lets add you to the thread title shall we? Unless you are female or looked that up.

I don't even begin to understand what you are implying - that anti-psychoanalytic philosophy is 'a bit gay'?

What I'm waiting for is for an openly gay person to come out and admit they're actually straight.

Not only is he straight, but he is a woman.

So you are out of luck unless you like that sort of thing.
Well, if he's a straight woman than I would be SOL... if (s)he wasn't quite so straight then some sort of arrangement could be umm... arranged....

What I'm waiting for is for an openly gay person to come out and admit they're actually straight.

Like Anne Heche?

i thought it was dolce and gabana?

Postpix, kthnx.

I got them 2 years ago; they looked like these, only the frames were white and I had them make curved prescription lenses for me.

I don't think anyone is going to know what Widfarend was getting at there until they come back and post something a tad less eliptical.

Be a doll and check your TGs. I make an admission there.

And he re-enacts that infamous scene from the Crying Game nightly because of it.

Lacadaemon? Huh? When did that happen?

He exposed his hypocrisy in one of the Paris Goes to Jail threads.

Sorry about that, but I was implying that a straight man would definitely not know what D&G stood for. I didn't know until you posted. Maybe I am a strange one.

:D

At least that you have one nice accessory, which bodes well.

I was gonna start a whole thread on the topic and use the video as a starter, but I don't know if it's "PG-13" or not. It's just kissing and some flesh, no boobs and genitals (sadly), but you never know on Anglophone fora with a largely USA mod staff...

IIRC an empty quote-box on its own takes four lines, five with one line of quote. You're definitely over the limit with two boxes. Skip them, as they're not needed and are annoying, and you'll be fine.

I always suspect the politician with the horribly, horribly ugly wife. Like we're not supposed to notice and wonder why they're never seen being affectionate. :p

I think I was going to say something...but then I saw Gerard Butler and went into the crazy mode where I get up suddenly and run around the house for seemingly no reason with a really big smile, which usually happens when I see anything Phantom-related where I don't expect to.:) So now I'm not sure what I was going to say, though.


Oh, Fass, I sent you a TG and didn't get a response. It made me sad. :(

Well, she's made it clear that she isn't taking any shit from him.
I was under the impression that he was the one receiving, not giving.
Wasn't he getting the rentboys to crap their pants, then taking said soiled underwear back home?

Hallelujah! :cool:

Wearing CK or D&G Underwear doesn't point out one as gay, but the ads for D&G and Calvin Klein underwear can be rather homoerotic.
One of the latest ones (D&G I think) has been generating complaints that it looks like a gang rape. It has a man pinning a woman down while others look on. Everyone looks totally bored. Not quite sure what they're trying to say.
'Our clothes will make so disinterested in life you'll want to bang a skinny chick'

I vividly remember an article a couple of years back about metrosexuals. A gay guy was complaining that hets becoming more concerned about looking good made it harder to work out who was gay and who wasn't. He then went on to say that the only sure fire way nowadays was checking them out in the gym changing rooms to see if they were wearing Calvin Klein underwear.
I say I vividly remember this, because I'd just bought a 1/2 dozen CK undies just two days before and thought, "Oh great! It's not like I get enough problems with guys thinking I'm gay!"

CK underwear is very good, btw. Not worth the price but wait for the sales.

I happen to be wearing Champion.

What? This seems to have turned into an undergarment thread..

Sorry about that, but I was implying that a straight man would definitely not know what D&G stood for. I didn't know until you posted. Maybe I am a strange one.

D&G is also an abbreviation used to refer to a pair of French philosophers called Deleuze and Guattari who produced a couple of books together. You missed my joke. Deleuze & Guattari have nothing whatsoever to do with fashion or Dolce & Gabbana. I was merely offering frankly misleading advice.

As to whether a straight male would know what D&G stood for wrt fashion...

I would think that in the vast majority of cases by the time one is displaying one's underwear to a potential sexual partner there is likely to be little doubt as to whether you want to shag them or not, rendering this whole 'homosexual underwear' malarky a moot point.

Then again, maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

You definitely are. One's pants must drop at least three times during the first time you encounter the person.

Though I can't really say I would know how to tell with those of the opposite sex.

I don't think that should happen, given that almost all encounters are in public places. At least not with me, what with my briefs that are the definition of "tighty whity,"

...

What? They're comfortable and practical, not to mention cheap. What the hell is the point to designer underwear anyway, other than as an occasional sexual plaything during foreplay?

Ah. Used to wear those, but now I wear "boxer briefs/shorts"(?). I find they are more comfortable overall, but tend to move upwards and then get all bunched. Generally requires me to put my hand down my pants to readjust them... not good for public places.

There's gym changing rooms (indeed, any public changing room eg. swimming baths).
Unless you're going to hide in a toilet cubicle when changing, there's no way you can't have your gruts on display.

Phantom?? Where??:D

The Crane Brothers characters are both fruity.

Actually I'd side with their father at any time.

Outside of his Niles Crane character, David Hyde Pierce seems to play a relatively wide array of suggestive characters, such as Abe Sapiens from Hellboy,... a relatively freaky mer-man.

He mentioned Gerard Butler in the OP...
