Weren't Flynn and Gable gay?

Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Charlie Chaplin= Men among men ( no homo.)

Flynn!? You must be joking.

Gable, apparently did a bit of hustling before he hit it big in Hollywood. No one seems to have held it against him.

There is a saying, "In like Flynn", and it's not referring to men...

And that Uncle Ruckus avatar cracks me up

Bit of a fail here since Flynn would fuck anything that moved, Male or Female, Grant "lived" with Randalph Scott for 12 years and Gable wasnt opposed to playing a few classics on the meat flute when the feeling took him.

And Grant' s wife had said, if he was gay, she'd have known, and Mae West had said Grant was easily suduceable...apparently Gable's breath smelled to bad for any one

national Geographic did a show on James Dean's car crash...it basically broke down to him being a reckless jerk...

Well, having Olivia de Havilland on your arm will do that for a guy.

And Rock Hudson was a manly guy with a hot wife, Ricky Martin used to crush pussy like Sampson, John Travolta is happily married with Children, Tom Cruise is head over Hills for whatever her name is,Anthony Perkins loving wife never suspected..blah blah blah, its all damage control.

We all knew Ricky was gayer than singing the Oscar Mayer Weiner song in falsetto...and Travolta, well that was easy, Rock Hudson as well.
I was joking before, but none of the gays claime Cary...don't you find that odd...

And if she's to believed (and she is still alive!) he was very interested, and she always politely turned him down.

So, my chances are infinitely small, but they're still better than Flynn's.

The Grant/Scott rumours have been around for a while, but there is really no supporting evidence. Hearsay at a restaurant encounter!? You'll have to do better than that.

The greater public didn't know Rock Hudson was gay during his prime years, dude. His shit was kept on the down-low, lest he would have never been able to play the roles he did.

Exactly, the rumors were rampant...also the fact that he and Scott had numerous women over their place, hookers, showgirls, actresses, etc.
