He was an old school homosexual who didn’t think it was anybody’s business. One of the guys I grew up with is the same way. He calls the militants “Self hating ideological faggots”
It’s so stupid and transparent. As if nobody knows that there’s been gay people in the entertainment world. Like we all need to be reminded and told about it...becuase of course it was THE most important thing about them.
But it wasn’t. Burgess Meridith was gay. So what. I loved his acting. The guys from the Wizard of OZ were gay. So what. I loved their acting. Rock Hudson, the dad from the Brady Bunch and on and on. I don’t care that they were gay. It was a personal aspect of their lives that is none of my business and that I care nothing about. But I know it and it makes no difference, because if I didn’t know it, it would make no difference.
Back when it was "the love that dare not speak its name." I miss that era.
