Is Barry Manilow Gay?

Not that it has any bearing on his musical talent or lack thereof, I have just always sort of wondered?
I have heard he started out playing piano for Bette Midler in the bathouses, I just wonder if she found him there or if anyone knows anyone who found him there? wink
So if anyone has any of those "friend of a friend of a cousin baby daddy" stories please post it here!

How DARE you try and besmirch the sterling reputation of the amazing Barry Manilow by questioning and probing into private life and his sexuality??!!??.....


And of COURSE he's gay!!! wink

Hmmm....I'm a Barry Manilow fan,and I STILL don't know too much about his personal life.I'll check the liner notes to his box set,to see if it mentions any wives or children.

Since we're on the subject....what about Ricky Martin? In recent interviews,he refuses to answer questions about his sexual preference.What do you guys think?

Hey everybody!!!!! Barry Manilow has an album on Billboard Top 10 album chart this week. Seriously, I think his Ultimate Collection album is at number 3 this week. Go out to www.billboard.com and see for yourself.

Hey David, you may have predicted right. Barry Manilow is about to make a comeback then everyone here at www.prince.org will have to wake up and recognize him for the talented man he is.

It's so strange seeing him having a top 10 album again!!!!

Well, the official story is that Barry hired Pat Boone's old bass player from the '60s, who is gay and converted Barry to the other side.

I LOVE that story! Pat Boone's bass player of ALL people!
Thank you for that insightful story!

Because Barry Manilow is THE white, Jewish version of Prince, and has been his artistic arch-rival for decades!!....That's why...!!...

Hate to tell you this klhk, but a lot of those "celebrities" you can find pictures of in porn aren't REALLY them. Oh, and there is no SANTA CLAUS, just in case you didn't get the email from npgmc.

"If Barry Manilow is gay, would you have sex with him?"

Barry Manilow is as queer as a catfart. He used to play piano for Bette Midler in gay bathhouses back in the day. And he's responsible for "Copacabana".

Gay.


And I just want to go on record as saying that I love KLHK's posts with all my heart.

I can't say for sure, because I was was never one of those girls that pursued gay or bi-boys, although so many of them are SO DAMNED FINE (i just always thought; "damn that's way too much effort to be exerting trying to catch a man!)- BUT- in my younger days alot of my friends (girls) in Miami would go for bi-or gay boys out of some sub-conscious ego trip; they would actually boast about how fierce they were as women because they could pull bi-men or (sort of) tempt gay men into the occasional roll in the hay after the poor guy had one too many. When I would listen to them go on and on about their "conquests" and be so proud about the fact that they "got it like that", I would usually just be like "Girl, do you not understand that you cannot compete with a D**K??"

But I guess some women like the thrill of that kinda conquest. I don't really get it either, but...
