Stephen King is gay

There's just too much homoerotic subtext in the books for this not to be true, from Carrie onward.

He has never convincingly portrayed a male/female relationship (although he learned to create strong female characters as he developed his career).

And???

No, I’m not!

In the final Dark Tower novel there is a scene where Roland meets Stephen King who is hypnotized. He asks Stephen if he is gay and he says he's not sure. A running theme in his books is a teenage boy being sexually threatened by a man. The Library Policeman features a graphic rape scene on a 9 year old boy. I always wondered if King was sexually abused as a child.

He became a multi-millionaire by writing about the scariest, most horrific things he could think of.

I wasn’t aware he’d ever convincingly portrayed ANY relationship.

A man in a dog costume asks to blow Danny Torrance.

That furry going down on the guy in The Shining.

Kubrick added that scene. In the book the dog man was the boyfriend of a former hotel owner. Danny encounters him running on all fours and barking. He growls at Danny and asks if he can suck him.

The Talisman is full of it. Jack and his werewolf friend are hiding in a bathroom stall at a boys home owned by a crazy preacher. He accuses them of fucking each other.

There's something to this. His creepy sex writing knew no bounds (see: "It"), but was probably at its weirdest before he got sober. He has a gay daughter who keeps a low profile but has had an interesting life that seems to have informed some of his politics.

Gays exist and he sometimes includes gay characters, ergo, he is gay? Perhaps he is bi or bicurious, but he doesn't ping to me.

FFS, OP. Are you the one spouting this absurd "Tom Holland & Zendaya are gay & bearding for each other" bullshit? This isn't the Yellow Brick Road, and try though you might, clicking your ruby slippers together over & over again will only knock off the sparkles your mom so carefully applied.

I don't think he is. I believe he used to be homophobic but that's about it.

He seems to be more interested in young girls. Quite a Reddit thread about it...
