People in Ancient Greece were not gay. The only true love that could exist is an intellectual one between an older man and a younger pupil.

That being said. Elton John.

[Fiend]

Not listed and my pick: Clive Barker

[Krypton]

I'd say Alan Turing (who is on the list) or Stephen Fry, who isn't.

Zimple burps: 16th chapel !

[Mithras]

My favorite is #76, the Pink Triangle. I didn't realize he was gay.
Seriously, the list gets a little strange at the end.

Ummm, Jim McGreevey?

[paully dub]

Rupert Everett, less because of his film career, but becasue of:



My favorite comic book hero

[TheBadgerHunter]

My favorite would be the book-burning nazis. They taught us that books are a viable energy source. God bless their black little souls.


So, benign, not happy that your bait hasn't landed anything big?

[Sherwin]

Ummm... Portia de Rossi.

[nooon]

Ian McKellen

[BRussell]

Abe Lincoln.

I bit. And reported.

His obsession is bordering on the edge of sanity. I think bingo-boy has lost it and is seriously in love with Zimphire.

That still doesn't make me list him as my favorite gay person though.

[Zimphire]

Aah.. someone is upset he didn't receive a fanboy membership.

Sorry I missed ya benign. Your card is in the mail as we speak.

Dues will be sent at the beginning of the year.

Anyone want to make a list of all the famous straight people?

[SimeyTheLimey]

For a minute there I was wondering what a "Euro-American" was. Then I saw the list was compiled by someone at Bazerkley.

[Oisín]

Since when was H.C. Andersen gay? I thought he was in love with Jenny Lind... or don't I know my own country's history well enough?

Anyway... I think I'd have to go with either Ian McKellen too, or one of the really old ones (Sappho, Socrates, Alexander the Great, Plato, Wu Han Di, or Richard the Lion Hearted to be more specific).

And myself, obviously

[DeathMan]

Going to have to go with Leonardo DaVinci.

[Sherwin]

All this just goes to prove that if you want to be famous, stop being gay and be veggie instead.

[Oisín]

There is just something very wrong about Ted Danson, possibly the only guy ever to have played more (sometimes involuntarily) funny tough-guy-cowboy-ranch-owner-type of stud roles than Chuck Norris, being a vegetarian. Very wrong.

[paully dub]

Favorite vegetarian? That's easy...

A lot of those on the list are questionable. And since a lot of those people are dead. They aren't around to take up for themselves. So if someone says they are gay, they are regardless of the truth.

[Eug Wanker]

Does bi count? If so, I pick:

[Krypton]

Because he's a very clever, and witty guy.

He also did a documentary about Paddington Bear, which makes him an instant legend.

So we should assume they were heterosexual, even when there is pretty good evidence that they weren't?

[SubGeniux]

Not sure if my fav. is on the list, but my vote goes to... Jesus Christ. Gayness personified, oops, I mean God personified, or... christ knows.

[brapper]

josie is hot.

I concur. Funny guy. Still to this day. Even if I don't agree with everything he says. He's got the mojo.

Originally posted by SimeyTheLimey:

Simey didn't you know that Richard Gear used to stuff gerbils up his rear? That Cindy Crawford is bisexual and that Henry Winkler is homosexual?

I've heard all these as facts. And they had "evidence"

Once these people die, a lot of these accusations will suddenly become fact.

Some girl experiments with another girl in college once. Now suddenly years later said other girl comes out and tells all. Suddenly that gal has "known lesbian" affairs, and therefore is probably gay.

A lot of those on the list posted above were bisexual too. But yet they are called homosexual.

What I am saying is, people shouldn't be labeling people a certain lable unless they are SURE.

And there is a large group of people on the list that are on there just from hearsay.

You are projecting again fanboy.

It's not discrediting or disproving. It's more like denial.

Really, what's so shocking here? If somewhere around 5-7% of the population is gay, and most people who are honest will admit that there is no reason to suppose that percentage has even been any difference, then you would expect some famous names to have been gay. Especially because famous people tend to have a harder time keeping their private lives completely under wraps. Duh!

No simey, not denial. I am not going to take the word of a group that even you made fun of for their overly PC "Euro-American" nonsense.

I've seen a lot of people's lives ruined because of people that have called someone gay just because they hung around homosexuals. Or experimented once with it.
It happens. It's a fact.

Actually the number is more around 2 to 5% but ok. At least you didn't use the 10% number that the Kinsey zealots like to rant about.

and most people who are honest will admit that there is no reason to suppose that percentage has even been any difference, then you would expect some famous names to have been gay. Especially because famous people tend to have a harder time keeping their private lives completely under wraps. Duh!

Again, unless they specifically told someone they were gay, it's all questionable and hearsay.

Nobody suggests that any historical list can be definitively accurate. I just find your assumption offensive. You apparently require absolute proof that a historical person was gay, but no proof to assume that they were straight. You seem to think it would be wrong to falsely label a person who is dead as gay.

Well, Liberace never admitted to being gay. Are you honestly going to argue we should assume he was straight? Puhlease!

These people are mostly dead. They don't have lives to ruin.

And those who are living can defend themselves. They don't need you.

D. More revealing: gay leaders now admit to abusing the 10% figure for their own gain

1. NY Times 4/16: "Gay leaders have contended that the number of gay and lesbian Americans was around 10 percent, a figure that many of them suspected to be inflated. But they repeated the number often, they said, as a way of encouraging the nation’s large population of closeted homosexuals to be open about their sexual identity."

Newsweek, 2/15: "Some gay activists now concede that they exploited the Kinsey estimate for its tactical value, not its accuracy. ‘We used that figure when most gay people were entirely hidden to try to create an impression of our numerousness,’ says Tom Stoddard, former head of the Lambda Legal Defense Fund."

Not my doing.

[Disgruntled Head of C-3PO]

Oh the typical BLA BLA BLA zimphire is an expert on Homosexuality... well everything for that matter.

This thread is not here to disprove homosexual myths, it is here to choose your favourite person from that list.

So assuming it is true lets move on.

No, if there was a list of all straight people, and some questionable people were on the list, I would then too ask for proof. It has nothing to do with gay or not.

For example. In you very own thread here

I made these statements.

I have NO PROBLEM with facts being portrayed as facts.

Not to the public. But in private. To other people. That are still alive.

And no I would never argue that. Nor did I say anything of the like.

So tell me Simey. Once you have gone and went. Would you care if someone went around saying you weren't really gay. That you were straight. And it suddenly became a fact? Esp for political or social purposes?

If I'm dead, I'm guessing I wouldn't care too much either way.

Don't you see though that this is exactly what you are doing? At least potentially? If they were gay, and you insist that they were straight, then you are committing the very crime you complain about.

[Disgruntled Head of C-3PO]

New rule! If you don't die with GAY branded on your forehead you will be assumed to be straight no matter how many ex-boyfriends are at your funeral.

To honour your memory of course as being labelled a homosexual is definitely the worst thing that can happen to an individual. Even worst than dyeing! Or being on a "Who is your favourite Homosexual" list.

God forbid

No because according to him being called a Homosexual is a negative, derogatory, and a sin.

To me it means they had good taste.
