I have only met Zane once as did my older brother and neither of us had any reason to think he was homosexual.   I had been to the original Gold's in the '70s and there were  more than a few that did the G4P or were homosexual and just whored themselves out for money.  FTN.  Buttsluts gross me out.

And never did anyone there say anything bad about Zane. Not even as a joke.  He was  very polite when my son (who was still a kid) and I met him.

His wife was pretty cute back in the day.
he moved to Palm Springs trained at golds. Palm Springs is a hub for guys worse than San Francisco but I’ve heard stories he used to play the skin flute.

Didn't Sinatra and Johnny Carson live there?

I know Sinatra did but Carson probably did too.  I've been there a few times and it looked nothing like San Francisco which has become even more disgusting over the years and not because of homosexuals but because of Democrats.

Iirc Zane implied that he would never touch up or shop his photos. I don't remember now if the one above is the shopped one or not.


When he did start to photoshop them, he admitted to it. (In his quarterly magazine he put out).
That little digest sized thing was gold (very well done, great info).

He got into shopping pics, using it on some clients, mainly just for filters, etc... Then he started toying with it on himself.
It was no secret they were shopped when they came out, he said in print they were shopped...

Others argued about it online insanely (like we do here at GB) while sat off to the side chuckling about it...

I did an article for him in one of his issues, back maybe 15+ years ago..

Nah...

Straight, hot wife, etc. In all my years of being around, studying, reading about (the iron  game... 45+ yrs), never once heard gay  talk about Zane.

Frank Zane is a gentleman and a (genuine) scholar.  His IQ is without doubt greater than the sum of all other Mr. Olympia winners and contestants combined. The image of Zane's signature vacuum pose was engraved in gold into the disc that rides with the Voyager Spacecraft and was launched (not so coincidentally) in 1977 the year of Zane's first Olympia triumph.  The folks at NASA know physical perfection when they see it and be assured that since '77, the Galaxy knows as well.

I saw Zane one time on stage and one time in the street in NYC.  He looked amazing for so many years. Having said that without steroids I bet he still would have looked good but would have weighted around 170lbs at his 5'9".
