The thing about whether or not certain actors and actresses may or may not have been gay or bi sexual was that the studios zealously guarded whatever the true situation was and the press and media did not pursue the matter in any meaningful fashion as they do now on a daily basis. It was hushed up back then and only spoken about in whispers and in private and this is why those actors and actresses that indulged in that lifestyle could do so in the safety of secrecy. What went on in those days would certainly not be secret for long in this world of constant surveillance and the insatiable appetite magazines have for saucy titbits to satisy a public hungry for scandal.

Saying someone is gay does not translate into a vilification or “accusation” of that person’s character. Rock Hudson *was* gay. That’s a fact. He can still rest in peace.

The only reason I responded to your comment was because you implied that he wasn’t. And you were wrong. That’s it.

Rumors ARE precisely that “RUMORS”!

Ironically; I was NOT a BIG Rock Hudson fan; in fact, I rarely look at any of his movies (except Ice Station Zebra, which holds a personal touch for me).

But I have a lot of trouble, seeing all these accusations, so-calledly proven, …AFTER-THE-FACT, with the person dead and unable to defend themself.

PERSONALLY, I don’t ‘Give-A-Flying-Fig-In-France’ whether or NOT he was Gay; I personally get annoyed at the nearly fanatical attitudes of those accusing him of being Gay long-after the man is dead; that really annoys me that there is so much emphasis and enthusiasm in doing so. LET-IT-REST!!! Regardless, LET THE MAN DIE IN PEACE!!!!!!!!! That’s my biggest issue.

Rock Hudson *was* gay. There’s no question about that. And the “rumors” about Hudson being gay had been in circulation since the 1950s.

Hi.

I too very much doubt that Tyrone Power and Errol-Flynn were gay. These men were movie idols, and as such, subject to the envy and jealousy of a variety of audience onlookers.

I remember watching a program that illustrated in excruciating detail that Errol Flynn’s sexual molestation case was a set-up by his accuser. That particular perspective was NOT made too public because it ruined the tabloid, conspiracy theorists and gossip-mongers that permeated the resultant history that we know of today.

When, absolutely, ALL the evidence of a case is proven and presented, the existing verdicts in many cases prove to be contradictions of the, so-called, known history and no-one WANTS to believe them, …ESPECIALLY “IF” it’s true. Truth is harder to accept than tabloid fodder; it doesn’t sell newspapers.

I personally am sick of the warped interpretation about sexuality of early film stars ad that because of some obscurities and such, that by modern, conspiracy theorists, which various scandals mean that such-’N-such person is Gay or something. I mean the rumor Rock Hudson dying of AIDS precipitated his being Gay really annoyed me because ONLY after his death did this rumor really took hold …ESPECIALLY since back then the AIDS issued was primarily associated with being Gay. Now-A-Days we know better, and that AIDS/HIV can be contracted in a variety of ways NOT related to sex OR being Gay; hence this issue (Gat & AIDS/HIV) is disqualified today because of more-’N-more education on the matter.

So too is the issue surrounding Powers and Flynn association. Note that when tow (2) women are very good friends they’re labeled Lesbians; when two (2) males become good friends they’re labeled Gay; Cross-gender friendships (male and female) are labeled as romantic AND sexual. No-matter what personal associations are, third or NON-involved parties always try to throw a wrench and trash them with tabloid fodder ad gossip; out of jealousy? That’s what I feel is the primary source of gossip and motivation in these cases; JEALOUSY.
