Give it up Al, no one's buying it. As one of the DN posters said, see you on the DL.

dude's queer as a catfart.

My friend Eddie has the identical mannerisms as he does and looks a bit like him. But Eddie ain't even close to being gay.

I think Mr. Reynolds is kind of hawt

Al's not a homosexual, like Richard Nixon wasn't a crook.

Anxiety said:

That is possible the funniest phrase ever.....

look people, it's not considered gay if you're the one GETTING oral.

so yeah, he's gay.

i think it's going to end up on my headstone.

Anxiety said:

LOL ya'll off the chain for sure!!!

Anxiety said:

You got that right!

Let's suppose the guy is straight. Is being called a homosexual (unless it's by your own soon-to-be ex-wife, I guess) that gut-wrenching in 2008 that it effectively derails your entire life? God forbid folk all start calling him "Mr. Pee Pee Boy" for 6 months?!

But perhaps the most eye-opening revelation is he attributes all the speculation to being from the South! A regular Deepak Chopra I tell you! That explains Young Jeezy's certain je ne sais quoi! And... and... it's not that I've dug dudes my entire life; I just need to embrace my inner scalawag!!

Lammastide said:

So are you admitting you think he's gay?

neither is barry mannilow or richard simmons

Imago said:

I doubt it. Just too many mint julips.

ehuffnsd said:

OK, I guess I have to ask this...


Richard Simmons, I'm pretty sure is gay as hell.


But does this mean that even gay men, a lot of whom try to point out that stereotypes aren't exactly always true, agree that mannerisms are a dead giveaway?

SCNDLS said:

Oh my God, I thought he was going to break out into a showtune or something. I'm trying not to break out in laughter here at work! Family recognizes family and let me tell you this: The dude is gaaaaay! Lawd have mercy!

Imago said:

perhaps not, but beginning your career by playing piano for bette midler in gay bathhouses might be kind of a giveaway.

Imago said:

In fairness, no. I know some extraordinarily swishy heterosexual men. A bit more indicting to me is the utter offense he takes and the tap dance around explaining away why he "is" the way he "is." "'Cause I'm light-skinned. 'Cause I'm from the South." Please.

Lammastide said:

For real right? He sounded like a damn fool.

poor thing. he really wants to believe he's not gay.

Oh, was it me or does he sound like the male version of Star Jones? The way he spoke sounded the same way Star would speak, IMHO.

I should say here that while I have my own suspicions -- and I think this guy's tap dance is pretty sad -- I believe we should meet people where they are. If he is gay, he's certainly not at a place where he's ready to proclaim it to the world... and he may never be. He doesn't owe any of us. God bless him.

Oh shit!

SCNDLS said:

that was the most natural & unrehearsed interview i've ever seen.

Lammastide said:

Ummmmm. . . but he was, if I'm not mistaken, openly gay or bi- before he married Starr. I've seen pics of him wearing speedos at gay Halloween parties in two different years. And everyone KNOWS Halloween is the gay high holy day. So why's he back pedaling now??? Especially when nobody was even thinking about his ass. I'm tired of seeing public figures invite folks into their bedrooms while complaining about their lack of privacy and normalcy. Go sit down somewhere, Alice.

Lammastide said:

on the other hand, the only time we ever hear from him is when he's proclaiming to the world that he is NOT gay.

they're divorced now. there's absolutely no reason we need to hear from him again. it's all he (and she, when they were married) ever talks about.
