Straight people you thought were gay

Thomas Lennon owns this thread

Dallas Roberts that queen who played the good wife's bitchy, queeny brother. He's as straight as Richard Simmons.

The guy who did The Soup.

Like that the majority of names so far are realistic choices and not wish fulfillment.

They’re all really gay.

The guy who played Michael from Good Times

Some of these people actually ARE gay

WHY do we think Dallas Roberts is straight???

Kenton Duty before those videos came out

I had to check IMDB to remember who Dallas Roberts was. He played his part well on The Walking Dead. I wouldn't have been surprised to find out he was gay, but maybe he's just a good actor.

Everyone keeps saying that Joel Courtney pings but I just don't see it.

R40 haha. I'll add david dobrick to the list as well. I swore he was gay back in his vine days.

DL's favorite bottom David Archuleta

Quit screwing around, R52. He’s not straight.

A little off topic maybe, but are there any gays from Australia here on datalounge? Could you give me the tea on the likes of Napoleon Perdis, Alex Perry and to a lesser extent Baz Lurhman? They seem sooooooo gay but they all claim to be straight and have wives. Especially the first 2.

Tyler Perry OWNS this thread.

Nap Perdis is definitely heterosexual.

Tyler Perry is definitely not straight.

OP, Dallas Roberts is the living version of John Ritter. He is like a more morose version of him.

My childhood fantasies were dashed when Taylor Hanson got married young.

Does anyone have the dirt on Ellar Coltraine? I assume he's gay but he's only ever played straight roles.

Dallas is married with 2 kids? I always assumed he was quietly out.

David Gahan of Depeche Mode

Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran.

Whatever gave you that idea r73?

Why Ken Olandt? I’m a huge fan of his. He has 6 kids by the way.

I don't know if Tyler Perry is gay but I hope people aren't saying that because he is effeminate. thats very unfortunate.

R79 Why unfortunate ? Most gays are a little effeminate.

Justin Kirk is not straight R1. He and his "partner" paid a surrogate to have a baby for them a few years back.

Bernard Sumner of New Order

Marian Gold of Alphaville

Should we have a companion "Gay people you thought were straight" thread, or would it get zero replies?

Władziu Valentino Liberace

I wonder if anyone will post that Tyler Perry is gay.

LOL Elijah Wood?

He could teach ME how to suck cock.

[quote]Should we have a companion "Gay people you thought were straight" thread, or would it get zero replies?

Straight people will just start including names of the worst examples of humanity like Hitler and Kim Jong Il.

It's how those idiots think.

The "straight" couple in the Sonic commercials

Closet cases the lot of them

Was He gay ? I know he died from AIDS that’s all.

r102 It appears that Brad Davis was bi. Rue McClanahan claimed that he fucked her.

R103 I would let him fuck me, AIDS or no AIDS

Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton)

Very disappointed, I thought the OP's post said Doris Roberts

Chief Justice Roberts, Popess Emeritus Benedict XVI, Lindsey Graham.

Jerry Seinfeld O-W-N-S this thread

Lionel Blair Jo Brand Ben Cohen Ross Kemp Duncan Norvelle Melvyn Hayes Keith Allen Michelle Shocked Sinead O'Connor Norman Cook Adamski

r117 r119 It's "Straight people you [italic]thought[/italic] were gay," not "Straight people you [italic]wish[/italic] were gay."

I did think he was gay for a brief moment after The Object of My Affection, r121.

r79, I heard it from someone whose husband works with him.

r115, I was also going to mention him. Just read about a sexual harassment issue he had at a past job and I was like WHAT, he did that to a woman. WOW.

Jerry O'Connell owns this thread.

I had a crush on both of them - so that was part of it.

(if you're American, you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about).

Oh fuck yes - Adam is hot as anything.

The Village People are mostly gay except for the lead singer. Was pretty shocked when I found out.

George W. Bush.. Yeah, I'm a cheerleader and drunk off my ass but no homo bro.

Lucy was going to be gay, but Gary talked her out of it.

Asia Argento

She's always looked very lesbyterian to me

Hugo Weaving Hugo Weaving Hugo Weaving

Mitchell (and Webb)

Mitchell surprisingly not gay, marries woman; uxorious Webb revealed to have been not always entirely straight , possibly surprising wife

❓❓❓60s Riddler ❓❓❓

For some reason I was absolutely convinced it was a universally acknowledged FACT that this actor was gay. Holy unreliable memory! 🦇

Dallas Roberts sets off a four-bell alarm. He's gotta like cock even if he doesn't know it. Gotta.

The Wiggles. All of them.

all the ones from Europe.

Ted Cruz.....I had him pegged as another self-hating freeper closet case. I was shocked when the adultery scandal came out.

Three of these things are not like the others, R160.

Richard E Grant

Rene Auberjenois (or however you spell it)

Andrew Robinson. He was great as Liberace in the TV movie.

Kit Hesketh Harvey (well, ostensibly straight)

R166. Oh yes, Richard E Grant is a good one. Though he seems like one of those 'bi' theatre guys that find his 'soulmate' in a female, but fucks around on the side with guys. If he is truly straight-straight, then he has to be at the top of this list imo.

Okay I just discovered this today but Liam Sullivan, the guy who made the "Shoes" video among others, is married to a woman and has at least one kid. I don't know why but that shocked me. I just assumed he was gay and out.

For those of you too young or too not British not to have experienced Duncan Norvelle...this man is straight.

I see no proof that any of these men are straight.

Neil Sedaka?????

I mean, why jump to the conclusion fem guys like him are closeted gays rather than, say, closeted tranny lesbians?

r182..or just feminized heterosexual men. Also meant “lesbians” not lesbians

Cringy hipster-woke, gay culture-appropriating “queer”-adjacent types such as Dev Hynes aka Blood Orange. Creepy dude

“Hynes wears his supercool status lightly. He’s relaxed and refreshingly honest — open about his sexual orientation: not gay, not straight; tried sex with men but ‘it wasn’t my thing’; has dated transgender people. Ditto his relationship status: no longer with the equally fluid singer Samantha Urbani; he’s currently seeing ‘a couple of people’. ‘Things are fluid,’ he beams. ‘I think a lot of people look at me and think, “No, it’s strong if you define yourself and it’ll be helpful to others.” But I think they don’t realise that I’m not hiding in not defining myself. I’m openly not defining myself. To me, that’s the school of Bowie and Prince, where they were just themselves.’ ”

My mom swore up and down that Milton Berle was gay. No one could convince her otherwise. She felt he was [italic]too[/italic] comfortable dressing in drag to be actually straight.

Hayden Christensen and Ryan Reyndols ping hard yet they're supposedly straight.

[quote]Straight people you thought were gay

All of them.

Robert Smith from the Cure.

Who are these people saying Shawn Mendes is straight?

David Sylvian from 80's pop group Japan. He was married to Ingrid Chavez for 12 years and they have 2 daughters.

Though I think most of the 'Blitz Kids' must have experimented.

Well not completely straight, he identifies as pan and has had an LTR with a woman, but I would have put my house on British comedian Joe Lycett being a gold star gay.

OMG he's SOOOO gay, R197.

R199 I watched him doing a stand up and he talked about his girlfriend (not guurrrlfriend), I almost fell off my seat!

Julian Clarey also had a girlfriend.

So did Graham Norton.

[quote] I almost fell off my seat!

Careful, guuuurl!

British divers Chris Mears and Jack Laugher

Neil Sedaka is gay. A friend of mine had an "encounter" with him

He must be bi, R205.

Many of these very gay-seeming guys who marry, have long happy marriages and have kids tend to be.

Clifton Davis (Reverend Reuben from “Amen”)

R206, he cheats on his wife with men (and ONLY men)

Janet McTeer and Jonathan Pryce

Z-lister Brit TV Interior decorator and professional fop Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen

Agree with 90% of the people on this thread so far. It really is becoming quite the definitive list.

Todd Chrisl...

Oh, sorry, I can't do that one with a straight face.

r210 The heterosexuality. It burns!

^^ yes, he's married with children

R218 I'm pretty sure the gay rumors stopped not long after he broke up with Vanessa Hudgens.

Tim is also married with children

= OMG! >>

Paul Stanley of Kiss

David Lee Roth of Van Halen

Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran

Martin Gore of Depeche Mode

Vince Clarke of DM

Andrew Fletcher of DM

All closet case who say what being gay did to George Michael's career.

George Hamilton is SUCH A HETERO.

I didn't know that when I was 14.

Riz Ahmed is not straight, his eyes give him away!

Former champion figure skater Kurt Browning.

Dick Cavett?! Oh puhleeze, he sucked cock in closets.

R235 Oh, hi, Arsenio. Still trying, eh?

Former First Minister of Scotland and current #MeToo tartan totty terroriser, ALEX SALMOND; long a matter of speculation because, like Macron, of his marriage to a much older woman/mother substitute, all but officially confirming “closet case” with additional penchant for whist drives, antimacassars and old lady pee. But, it turns out we were wrong, and our loss is the wee lassie’s gain. Please be magnanimous in your victory! Oh and cherish him 😔

Hollywood Square host John Davidson.

[quote] Cameron is the CW Star on the CW Columbus and also a feature reporter for Good Day Columbus Weekends on ABC 6 and FOX 28.

I didn't recognize the name, but I knew that face was familiar. I'm surprised he's not gay, or a vampire.

Joel Osteen and Clark Gregg are gay.

R172- You had me running to wikipedia!

He's straight, married, and has four kids??

R246 I will never believe Patrick Swayze was straight. He was bi at the very least.

Yes, I'm another one who can't believe Carmen Fontana is actually straight. Just check out some of his interactions at the state fair.

Has Whoopi Goldberg been mentioned? When she started out in the 1980s, I just [italic]knew[/italic] she was gay. It took me some time to believe that she's actually straight.

A lot of very butch masculine women are straight. People don't notice their butchness the way they notice men who seem femme.

Fred Armisen is bisexual as well.

Bo Burnham, the writer/director of Eight Grade.

Actually Whoppie is bi. Since the time she last was reported in a relationship with a man, she has been with women.

Keegan-Michael Key

Jennifer Aniston (i still think she is gay though)

Scott Hamilton is married?! To a woman?!

R267 why do you think JA is gay?

R260 Thanks for reminding me how sexy Bert was!

I thought Dennis Christopher was out?!

r280 Supposedly he is married to someone named Margarett Soloman. I have no idea who she is.

Oprah Winfrey OWNS this thread.

Every person named in this thread is gay.

I somehow was sure that both John Hurt and Alan Rickman were gay and out and then they died and I learned that Hurt was married to a woman and that Rickman had a female partner for 20 years and I was really surprised.

I also always thought that John Malkovich is gay.

Apparently, the entire cast of Sense8 has opposite-sex partners, though I've heard lots of gossip about Brian J. Smith who played the cop.

Someone in another thread said Dennis Christopher was into some seriously kinky stuff.

[quote]Keegan-Michael Key

He makes parodies of gay people why tf would you think he was gay? He's an idiot.

A lot of these guys are gay and closeted.

R289, that's what I'd always heard, was surprised to see him linked to a woman. Maybe that was just a bit of fan-based closet fakery.

God forgive me, but I looked at the picture of Cameron Montana and buss one laugh that my cat jumped off my side that she was resting on. And the laugh continued for a couple of minutes straight after clicking "play" and watching him get his groove on to the choir. He has more energy in his face than Christie Brinkley. Not saying he's gay; but he's too flourishing for many a straight woman out there. You'd have to sleep sitting up so as to give yourself a chance of looking human when waking up, compared to him and his "energy". Fuck that, for a game of soldiers and Good luck to him. I like him.

"that's what I'd always heard, was surprised to see him linked to a woman. Maybe that was just a bit of fan-based closet fakery."

What woman? He doesn't even hide being gay anymore.

Jonathan Harris (Dr Smith, Lost in Space TV show)...married to the same woman for about 40 yrs, had a son.

He came across as the queeniest queen who ever queened.

R299, you just blew my mind. What?!?!?!

r300 See his Wiki entry.

Plus, Jewish & from The Bronx.

But the personal life section of his Wiki screams Mary!

Holy Shit did this thread take off or what.

Jack Cassidy

James Daly

Dom DeLuise

Allen Ludden

They were all married and had children. They must be straight. Right?

Before anyone says it, Jesse Ventura likes ass more than vagina. And he will fuck younger guys who want it before searching out women.

These people are all gay.

All wrestlers are at least a little bit gay. Some are big time gay.

R290, I must have been mistaken or hallucinated or something. I went back through my browser history and all the recent Sense8 videos I watched and couldn't find it. So, scratch that one off, sorry, my goof.

😂 Yep.

I think the award goes to R314.

Actually, he’s dead, but still straight assuredly.

Don't you remember that golden episode of TNG?

"Complicated" means "bigoted" in Washington Blade talk.

Nothing new to see here people.

That guy from Echo & the Bunnymen, Ian McCulloch. I was wrong for 30 years. I was just as surprised as when I found out Rob Halford was gay back in the 90s. But as a Judas Priest fan, that just made everything I already loved a million times better.

And the guy who played Old Christine’s brother.

Neil Sedaka is gay. I know the guy who was his agent in the seventies.

He married and had kids because that was what you were expected to do in the 1950’s. But early on in his marriage, his wife - Hollywood socialite Leba Sedaka (née Strassberg) - warned him “do whatever you wish as long as you don’t embarrass me.”

My agent friend had to often procure rentboys for Sedaka. It was the only part of his job he hated (my friend is straight and very pro-LGBT, but hated the pimping process).

Dom DeLuise, same thing. I knew Peter Allen and he in turn knew DeLuise pretty well. The latter was always trying to get in Peter’s pants.

In a network brimming with out and proud LGBT staff, THIS queen is “straight?”

Mr. Rogers had anti gay people picket his funeral. In the movie, they said it was because he was tolerant of LGBT, but I think it's just because they thought he was gay.

Roger Stone owns this thread

Ugly would-be-dandy rat fuckers don't count.

[quote]Joel Osteen and Clark Gregg are gay.

Isn't Clark married to Jennifer Grey?

Jerry Seinfeld

Did not believe he was straight until he started dating that Shoshanna chick.

It is known that Roger Stone is or was bi (also a swinger iirc)

All members of Depeche Mode, past and present.

When was Roger Stone ever straight?

Chloe Sevigny, Hilary Swank, Paul Mooney, Keanu Reeves.

Chloe Sevigny is straight?

R346 Yeah. She admitted to it. Said that her kissing girls was only a phase.

The late coach Pat Summitt (RIP).

Ryan Reynolds has definitely taken a cock up that sweet ass.

R40 Josh Peck even managed to keep it in his female mate long enough to procreate. Wonders never cease.

From R302's post, regarding Jonathan Harris:

The second of three children, Harris was born to a poor family on November 6, 1914, in the Bronx, New York City. His parents were Sam and Jennie Charasuchin, Russian Jewish immigrants who worked in Manhattan's garment district.[3] His family resided in a six-tenant apartment complex. To raise money, his mother took in boarders, some of whom were given Jonathan's bed, relegating Jonathan to sleep on dining room chairs. From the age of 12, he worked as a pharmacy clerk.

While there was little money for luxuries, Jonathan's father took efforts to expand his son's cultural horizons. This included trips to the Yiddish Theatre, where he was encouraged by his father to listen to opera. Young Jonathan was enthralled. He discarded his Bronx accent and began to cultivate more sophisticated English tones. Although he could seldom afford tickets to them, Broadway plays were also an early interest. As a teenager, he also developed interests in archaeology, Latin, romantic poetry and Shakespeare.

In 1931, at age 16, he graduated from James Monroe High School, where his classmates included Estelle Reiner. He had difficulty fitting in with peers, with the exception of his girlfriend and future wife, Gertrude Bregman.

He legally changed his name from "Charasuchin" to "Harris" before entering college after a year-long standoff with his father, who disagreed with the change.[4] Harris earned a degree in pharmacology from Fordham University, from which he graduated in 1936.[5] For a time, worked in various drugstores. He married in 1938.

Here's Dallas normal speaking voice and general demeanor

John Ritter on Three's Company always seemed gay to me. He even spoke with a bit of a gay accent.

What did Dallas Roberts do to Jessica Lange that got him fired from the Broadway play they were in?

They were all married and had children. They must be straight. Right?

R305 YOU must be straight.

r359 If you don't understand the concept of irony, you can do some research on it.

I remember John Ritter had extreme gay voice. I guess there are some straight men with gay voice but still....unlike Dallas Roberts (who resembles him facially), he never played a gay character AFAIK. My guess, John Ritter was a married gay man.

Ritter played gay in Slingblade.

I have no idea who that guy is @OP, but it looks like his features are dropping down from his face.

[quote]George W. Bush.. Yeah, I'm a cheerleader and drunk off my ass but no homo bro.

He’s probably seen Ricky Schroeder’s penis at minimum.

Wayland Flowers but Madame swings both ways.

The figure skater Todd Eldredge. I thought he was gay for years. Whoops.

r367, he is gay. He's just closeted.

Tim Curry has done nothing but ping his entire career and been a bachelor.

But apparently, he dates an endless string of female supermodels in pussy-hound fashion, so I'm inclined to think he's straight.

Bless his soul -- he's handicapped now from a stroke so don't hate!

Simon Cowell is another gay-seeming celeb and I dare say he's a queen.

But he burns through all these gorgeous females.

r154 means Frank Gorshin.

Tim Curry is not openly gay and he's carried on with females for decades.

How come nobody is talking about this bitch?

"Tim Curry is not openly gay and he's carried on with females for decades."

When was the last time he "carried on" with a female? 1985?

Aaron Schock....oh wait...
