That one broke my heart! My mom worked in a hospital and knew some gay guys and she told me one day that George Michael was gay because these gay guys "know their own"... and I told her, they just wanted him to be gay because he was so dayum fine. I was wrong.

I don't think he was trying to act straight... he just didn't go around advertising his sexuality

DavidEye said:

meow85 said:

Also Easy E died of Aids (late member of Dr. Dre's first rap group NWA) and although I suspect Easy got HIV from drug use...when he died I did hear a lot of rumors about those boys... especially they were wearing make up and stuff like that when they first came out. Well Prince has done that as have MJ so I just figured NWA were following suit and just doing this because... Now why DID I think NWA wearing makeup like P and MJ was not a gay gesture?????

prodigalfan said:

No, I don't think he was trying to act straight. The title of this thread says, "obviously gay". Which he was!

prodigalfan said:

that was the "world Klass wreckin' cru" not NWA getcha facts straight. Ez contracted aids from unprotected sex.

Bernadette ALWAYS seemed gay to me. I thought every member was gay w/the exception of the lead singer.

What's the word on Johnny Mathis?

prodigalfan said:

I don't have the article, but I remember when it happened! Yeah, Tevin is out and proud.

NWF said:

Hey, I could be wrong. Like I said, this girl was nuts about Adam Ant. Granted, this girl was also just plain nuts, so maybe she was just talking out her ass. Still, the guy is straight now, regardless of what he did once as a teen.

I don't think the TV thing was a major component of his personality either. Just something he did from time to time. Then again, he could have just been writing about it as the subject of the song and nothing more. Prince, I'm pretty sure, never fucked his sister, but he still wrote a tune about it. "Greta X" may just be in the same category.

I don't know if anyone posted this

Jermaine Stewart
All of the Villlage People. I don't remember them ever saying they were a gay group when they first hit the scene.

And What about Pete Townsend of the Who.
Was I the only one that Didn't know he was gay?

Let's see.... You had guys in macho gear (leather, chaps...), singing about San Francisco and the YMCA....

UptownDeb said:

Bizzare thing was, gay culture was SO underground at the time, it really did escape most people's notice. In fact, it touched off a whole "macho" trend in its wake. Most people were actually quite oblivious

Mr7 said:

So naieve. Just because a man is married to a woman doesn't mean he's not gay.

UptownDeb said:

still cracks me up to this day, people doing the YMCA dance at sporting events, wedding etc. Moms , Dads , children dancing to the anthem of gay gym sex..I love it !!

SquarePeg said:

True, but Bowie has re-canted his whole bi-sexual thing. He's been heterosexual for quite some time

JediMaster said:

And I don't buy it, regardless of what he says.

newpower99 said:

Yes, and wasn't there some story about "In the Navy" actually being commissioned by the Navy as a recruiting song and then being ..."withdrawn" (oh I'm sorry this is getting too awful...) when the Navy discovered the "truth"...maybe an urban myth - but a good one

Ricky
Martin.

omg.stop. please. i'm dying. Nobody said Sisqo.

I just saw an old video from the 90's with those two really short haired girls Zhane or something like that. They were gay weren't they?

AsianConnection said:

Yes!!!! He hung out in the San Francisco bay area. His good friend was Sylvester (disco drag queen of "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real" fame). He actually sang background vocals on Miss Me Blind, Culture Club. Great friend of Jodi Watley. He did a song about her. NOT THAT ANY OF THAT MAKES HIM GAY. Jermaine passed away, don't know when though.

Haha!!! I can't wait until Queen Latifah comes out. Come on already. I heard that MC Lyte has been with the female costar of the show MARTIN for a long time. I can't think of her name she plays TISHA CAMPBELL'S friend.
You forgot to mention DA BOY I mean DA BRAT. She's admitted to being bi.

mochalox said:

Holy SHIT!!! I had no idea about Tevin and Rashaan. I think that's great. I have both of Rashaan's albums. He has a great voice. I've always liked Tevin's voice and wish he would release something. They need to give him a break already.

As a memeber of the community in question... we refer to it as just leather or fetish wear, not macho gear.
