not really famous, but John Cameron Mitchell in Hedwig and the Angry Itch was great.

On a scale of 1-10, how gay are you duderino?

I'd say I'm about one and a half percent gay. (i wear nice shoes)

I like the progressive, secure tone of this conversation. A straight (or mostly straight, or 98% straight) man who can joke about his "feminine" and/or "gay" side is a secure, confident, and definitely (mostly, usually) straight man (as opposed to those ultra-defensive macho guys who are so desperate for no-one to think they're gay that lots of people do).

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Those guys are funny. I worked on this one short film with this studly young actor who had received his big break and landed a lead in that old MTV soap...Undressed, I think it was called, or something like that. Anyway, he had a lead role for one episode, and then when he found out he had to kiss a guy, he broke contract and quit. Which I guess is why he was back in Texas, working on a short film for no money. He was a nice guy, but he tried waaayyy too hard to be super masculine, which made his frequent slip-ups far more glaring.

Jackie Chan in the end of the first Drunken Master was getting the shit kicked out of him until he started impersonating the drunken goddess and fought like a girl.

In dave eggers a heartbreaking work of staggering genius he had this thing in the begining where he asked himself on a scale of 1-10 how gay was he, and he said 3. Thats the only thing I remember of that book. I thought it was funny, and true. The thing I think funny is when other guys have a hard time admitting if another guy is good looking, you always get the "Dude, im not gay" then they go play baseball.

It's funny how the guy who tucked his penis between wasn't mentioned.  :wink:

Tony Curtis is arguable but I personally would say that he's hetero. Yes, I said Tim Curry is arguable and he probably is gay. But hey, he did Janet, damnit! And I suppose it would've been less debatable to say Vince Vaughn instead of Perkins, huh?  :roll: Thinking back to it now, I always thought he was not to hetero either.
