A lot of these responses are people who were/are bi, not gay

Alan Bates and Michael Redgrave. The Go-Between.

Sommersby

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.

Mata Hari - with Ramon Novarro and Greta Garbo

Oh fuck off R24.

Freddy Krueger is queer?

R41 No neither is Robert Rusler.

Luke Evans and Billy Porter in "Our Son." Andrew Rannells is also in it.

Interview with a Vampire if you believe what's written in this thread

R34 Advise and Consent—also George Grizzard.

Van Johnson and Robert Arthur in "Mother Is A Freshman"

R2 Neither of the leads is gay. What are you talking about?

Scene of the Crime - Van Johnson and Tom Drake

Was he playing the Jonathan Harris role, R49?

John Dall and Farley Granger in Hitchcock's "Rope." They were playing a gay couple. Screenplay by gay Arthur Laurents.

One Romantic Night

R50 Kirk was about 21 when the movie was made and played Tryon's younger brother.

If we’re including bisexuals King Richard. The slapper and the amazing Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.

R53 How do you know they are gay?

Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck in Titanic (1953) ... with Robert Wagner and Richard Basehart also on the big boat, if you like.

Ramon Novarro and Greta Garbo in "Mata Hari".

Who was the other gay lead in Grease?

The Day After Toothy Tile

#60, Livvie was reportedly a carpet-muncher, and is rumored to have had a lezzie relationship with Karen Carpenter.

Travolta was born gay and has had a series of beard relationships.

Cary Grant and Alexis Smith in Night and Day - about gay Cole Porter.

R61 Fags.

R60- my question as well. ONJ was not a lesbian. She might’ve married a gay man at one point, but that didn’t make her gay as well.

I certainly never heard the Karen Carpenter rumor.

She came out during an interview on the Tonight Show that everybody saw but sadly was not saved for posterity.

R62 Olivia wasn't gay. WTF?

9 to5 Dolly and Lily

R58, Richard Basehart was gay???

Helen Lawson and Edward Everett Horton

Sunrise - George O'Brien and Janet Gaynor

R70 Not sure, but I threw him in the boat, because of this reader blind item that Entertainment Lawyer hosted at his site not long after David Hedison died in 2019:

[quote] Reader Blind Item: The deceased older lead and the recently deceased younger co-lead had an unusual competition on this adventure show with science fiction and horror overtones which was produced by this extremely successful movie and TV mogul. They would compete to sleep with whatever young actors came on set either as guest stars, regulars, extras, or crew. Neither man identified as homosexual although there were rumors about the older actor earlier in his career. This was on the down low. Strangely enough, they never had any desire to sleep with each other.

Olivia and Karen were not gay, that is just the usual gay man bullshit, I’m gay so everybody else has to be as well.

^ Cheryl is a cunt.

Olivia and Karen were not overweight that is just the usual frau bullshit, I’m fat so everybody else has to be as well.

fixed for R74

Rudolf Nureyev, Anthony Dowell, and Derek Rencher in "Romeo and Juliet" (1966). (Dowell and Rencher were lovers in real life at some point.)

Joel Grey and Michael York in "Cabaret".

Rock Hudson and Tony Randall in several movies.

Wasn't Barbara Stanwyck a conservative republican?

I thought Michael York is/was bisexual

What’s that got to do with anything, R80?

"Murder On The Orient Express", Anthony Perkins and John Gielgud.

[quote[ No neither is Robert Rusler.

I remember reading about Mr Rusler's gay activities right here on this very website. You sound new because Robert Rusler has numerous threads on him. I know he married a woman, but the gays know that holds as much weight as a feather. It's no indicator.

[quote] Freddy Krueger is queer?Robert Englund

Okay, so maybe calling the whole cast gay was an exaggeration, but the lead actor Mark Patton did come out after the film's was released after a long struggle. Mark was so transparent in the film, and even Robert Englund admitted the gay subtext was purposeful: ' In a February 2010 interview with Attitude magazine, Englund said, "... the second Nightmare on Elm Street is obviously intended as a bisexual themed film. It was early '80s, pre-AIDS paranoia. Jesse's wrestling with whether to come out or not, and his own sexual desires were manifested by Freddy. His friend is the object of his affection. That's all there in that film. We did it subtly but the casting of Mark Patton was intentional too, because Mark was out and had done Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean." I was being a little facetious when I said "whole cast" but at least two confirmed they like cock. I'll try to provide a link to the Rusler thread.

"The Madness Of King George", Nigel Hawthorne and Rupert Everett.

Jim Nabors and Dom Deluise in "Cannonball Run II".

R82 How many conservative republican gays so you know?

^ Swallow Balls Run

[quote]Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck in Titanic (1953) ... with Robert Wagner and Richard Basehart also on the big boat, if you like.

OMG, all those people got on a boat with Robert Wagner? No surprise it ended badly.

For the ONJ sceptics. The two of them gave an interview to one of the Aussie newspapers in the 80s that went far enough to make me remember the name.

R88 Huh?

R90 How does this makes her gay?

R86, and Burt

Burt got deathly sick in the 80s and everyone thought he had AIDS.

Joel Grey & Rock Hudson COME SEPTEMBER

Carey Grant had 6 wives.

Laurence Harvey and Dirk Bogarde in "Darling" (1965). Is this when they're alleged real-life affair occurred?

Sir Ian McKellen and Elijah Wood in The Lord Of The Rings films.

On the TV Side - Ellen Corby and Will Geer as Grandma and Grandpa Walton.

Val Dufour (Walter Curtin), George Reinholt (Steven Frame) and Connie Ford (Ada) on "Another World."

To be fair, all the Walton boys pinged. You can imagine any one of them getting gangbanged in the hay barn.

[quote]Carey Grant had 6 wives.

But not even one E in his name.

R67 in other words it didn’t happen.

R103 Only on that poster's dreams

The Hobbit movies.

LOTS of gay men in the Hobbit movies.

Again on the tv side, Meredith Baxter and Kristy McNichol in Family. Too many gay men in the Dark Shadows cast to list (my favorites being Joel Crothers and Jonathan Frid). Susan Flannery and Joanna Johnson in The Bold and The Beautiful.

Soaps are notoriously gay. There was once a scene on Y&R about nine years ago that had five gay actors in it: Christian LeBlanc, Greg Rikaart, Lachlan Buchanan, Robert Gant, and Jeffrey Christopher Todd.

The Hobbit had: Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Adam Brown, Luke Evans, Stephen Fry, Lee Pace....

Who else?

Cary Grant had 6 wives and 1 husband.
