I was out with my friends last night, the majority of them are gay, and they were discussing celebrities who should come out and they started to talk about Eminem. It was a real serious discussion as they're convinced the man is either gay or bisexual. They had some gay publication with them and there was a whole section of letters and some very funny pictures of the man, often semi naked, showing his ass off, dressed up as a woman, and they did kinda look homo-erotic. What does everyone think?! Seriously.

Are Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier gay because of Men on Film?

honestly, i really wouldn't care about his sexuality (or anyone's sexuality, for that matter). don't see why folks spend so much time tryin to dissect other people's sex...'cept maybe for boredom's sake.

I think Eminem knows gay and bisexual men are part of his core audience as well.

Really, even if you support or oppose it, it shouldn't really make a difference in one's life. His most recent album could use some publicity cause it seems to have fallen off in terms of hype. Would his coming out ( hypothetically ) really change one's overall opinion of homosexuality? If it's been around since Cain & Abel, it'll be around in the year 2100.

I agree with you. However, I think that most gay people do question sexuality esp from pop icons and celebrities. It helps us identify with them. It's also still the BIG CELEBRITY SECRET.

I dunno, but I think that if you are gay, you should be allowed to express yourself without any hinderance to your career. Unfortuneately, that is not the case, becasue it does.

I do think that if all of the gay celebrities came out all at once, the world would FREAK out at not only the number, but also the people that would be seen in a different light. Personally, I doubt the world would be able to handle it, but it would change a lot of things and the way we see ourselves. It would also open doors and stop a lot of the hate that still exists against gays.

i dunno what his sexuality is but if i ever wanted to go slummin', i'd fuck around with him. i've always thought he was hot...in a white trash kinda way.

I think the case with Eminem and the gay community, in particular his past lyrics with regards to homosexuality. They're even more interested than they would be with any other artist. As someone else said though maybe Eminem now knows those people are a part of his fan base so he's cleverly appealing to them.

EvilWhiteMale said:

Yes, and Flip Wilson and Milton Berle were quite a couple back in the day.

You people have to realize, America is totally numb to his raps about murder and drug use. The most controversial thing he can insinuate is that he's gay.

Blast from the past.

From what I have seen in my lifetime, most straight men don't have a problem with gay men. I have found that men that are the most outspoken with their hatred are the ones with skeletons in the closet. This sounds like Eminem.

If you want to see plenty of hardcore thugs and rough trade, go to a gay club, especially a black one. The ones that aren't inside are usually circling the club in a car trying to pick someone up so no one will see them go in. There is white trade also but they usually frequent places like adult bookstores, truck stops, and rest areas. Every now and then, you see white trade in a club but not very often. Most white trade usually know and can admit to themselves that they are bisexual. They will never admit it to a straight person though. Most black trade will not admit it to themselves or anyone else. Since they have been exposed to the public recently, they have been referred to as "men on the down low" but the gay community has called them "trade" for years.

Of course, their pick up techniques differ in different parts of the country, but their sexuality is the same nationwide.

Not that I really care either way, but I wouldn't be surprised if I found out Eminem was gay or bi.

here we go again...

its amazing the perception and image this man gives off that the media/public find so interesting.. his marketing is brilliant.


anyway, think about his whole entire concept.. and there's your answer..

Its an act.. all of it.. to either get under your skin, vibe to, or quarrel/wonder about..

The more he lives life as a celebrity, and travels the country touring, he's coming in contact with alot more people from all walks of life. It's probabbly giving him a different perception & understanding.

I don't know if he is or not.
Don't really care.

Now Prince--that bitch is definately at least bi.

Ok Eminem to my knowledge is not gay.
However voices is right in saying a lot of his audience is indeed gay because he is a fine looking gentleman, and performed with Elton John and cross dresses.

I know many gay people would like the idea of Eminem being gay, but it is all too wishful....

Dude, nice avatar.

It's not really a matter of wishing he was gay. (well, maybe for some people..) It's more an issue of his behaviour. Gay people, through their own experience and those of others, recognize that despite his occasionally homophobic behaviour and lyrics there's a very real possiblity of Slim Shady being not-very-straight at all. Obviously some homophobes are just straight fuckheads, but a pretty high number are reacting against their own gay feelings.

As gay as Eminem gets (especially in the Encore album) I think he had more than just 3 refrences to gay refrences.

Now in the bible it says
thou shall now watch two lesbians in bed
have homosexual sex
unless of course you were given the consent to join in
then of course it's intercourse and it bisexual sex
which isn't as bad as long as you show some remorse for your actions
either before, during, or after performing the act of that which
is normally reffered to as such more commonly known phrases
that are more used by today kids
in a more derogatory way
but who's to say what's fair to say and what not to say
let ask Dr. Dre
Dr. Dre (what up?)
I got a question if i may (yea)
is it gay to play putt putt golf with a friend (yea)
and watch his butt butt when he tees off (yea)
but but i aint done yet
in football a quarterback yells out hut hut
while he reaches in another grown man's ass
grabs on his nuts, but just what if
it was never meant, it was just an accident
but he tripped, fell, slipped and his penis went in
his teeny, tiny, little, round hiney
and he didn't mean it but his little weenie flinched just a little bit
and I don't need to go into any more details
but what if he pictured it as a female's butt
is that gay? I just need to clear things up
til then I'll just walk around with a manly strut because...

(Chorus)
Cause i aint got no legs or no brain
nice to meet you
hi my name is...
i forgot my name
my name was not to become what i became with this level of fame
my soul is possessed by this devil
my new name is...
Rain Man

I agree. I see Eminem as "trade" or as the media likes to call them these days, "men on the down low". Eminem shows typical "trade" behavior such as hatred for gays. As I've said before, I've seen very few straight men that have a problem with gays. It's not a matter of wishing Eminem was gay because I see "trade" as a disgrace to the gay community. Someone that has self hatred and shame for their bisexuality doesn't deserve to engage in such pleasures and brings the rest of the gay community down.
