Does the 'gay'reference really bother you?

The problem is that for all of us classic movie fans, these stars really never die. Many were dead before we were even born. We fall in love with them from movies made 50, 60, 75 years ago. Whether they were gay, straight or bi, they were what they were long before we ever came along. I guess it's the same reason some people care about whether Tom Cruise is gay. They'll most likely never meet him, and certainly won't be on his radar (some would argue gaydar) as a love interest, so what does it matter? I suppose it matters because humans are curious and we have incredible imaginations. Why do people still care whether Sweden's Queen Christina was a lesbian, or whether Louis XVI was gay? Hell, there's still an argument among historians about whether Abraham Lincoln was gay just because he slept with other men -- and I do mean SLEPT. Period. Totally straight men DID sleep together in those days because of the lack of beds. That's a historical fact. But, I digress. The point is, unless these people ever came out (or those still living come out) and tell us, no one will ever really know for sure, so what difference does it make? Meanhile, I'll keep my fantasies about Cary Grant, and you keep yours!
