***as a matter a fact I never knew what one was at all until I was around 24 yrs old.***
Same here! I often heard the term and thought it was just someone weird.
It wasn’t till I got in the military (Served KP one day at the outprocessing homo barracks at Lackland AFB) that I was told what they were. I was so ignorant of it that I could not believe such a thing could be and said to myself, “NO! That is just not right! Not Natural!”
Since that time I have noticed little homo jokes in the last 80 years of movies.
The Maltese Falcon(Peter Lorie and his cane)
The Phantom President (Ah, a sunflower! Swish sister swish!-Jimmy Durante)
Wizard of Oz (I’m just a dandylion!-Burt Lahr)
Ivanhoe (Master, I heard there were Normans in the castle so I went to lock up my wife, and she locked ME up instead!-Wamba the Fool)
INTERNATIONAL HOUSE WC Fields in china “Where am I?”
Hotel Proprieter-”Wo Hoo”
Fields: (looking at the flower in his own lapel, grabs it and throws it away) “Don’t let the daisy fool you my friend!”
Exactly i was ignorant also..I wonder how many did know what the weirdos were..Then all of a sudden we are the odd balls so the queers can seem normal..They all are sick and I am not..It is the most disgusting thing on earth.. One day the weirdos will come face to face with God then lets see what happens..I do not and will not ever believe they are born that way..
