Everybody loves somebody... sometime....
And while we’re at it, every time I hear the term “man crush” used I almost want to gag.
homosexuals only have one word for love, that word is sex. (the verb)
They have no brain capacity beyond that.
Arthur’s a good writer. It’s not homosexuality here but a desperate need to be liked by the cool guy. I never found Jerry Lewis to be a nice person.
Oh Dean, with the thing and the...Oh, Lady! PRETTY LADY!
Agape - Unconditional Love
Eros - Passionate love
Philia - Friendship
Storge - Affection
The Greeks understood that Love came in more than one form. If Martin and Lewis “loved” each other, it should be not surprising or all that “interesting”.
I swear our society now operates at the level of Fourth Grade.
Alinsky Rule #13:
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Have you read the book Jerry Lewis wrote about Dean martin?
Good book, IMHO.

Well said - If everything is to be reduced to sex then the world is much poorer for it. Is it any wonder young men nowdays don’t know how to be close to each other - they are all afraid of what it might lead too.

What about “bromance”? I hate that one.
Don’t put “crotch” and “fixed” in the same sentence unless you are talking about a domestic pet.

You two were close?
One of my Aunts worked as a personal assistant for Jerry Lewis for a number of years. She would confirm that statement.
The Greeks understood that Love came in more than one form.
The sodomite cannot help but see everything through his corrupting filter. It's disgusting. ("Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieveing is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled." (Titus 1:15))
You need to read D.A.Carson ("Exegetical Fallacies") or Moises Silva ("Biblical Words and Their Meaning: An Introduction to Lexical Semantics") to correct the simplistic (and fallacious) approach to the meaning of words typified by C.S. Lewis' work "The Four Loves", specifically "agape".
[agape](noun) and [agapo](verb) do not exhibit the narrow unmarked meaning so stated: "unconditional love". [agape/agapo], like the English word "love", can carry a wide variety of related meanings, the specific which can only be determined from context. One wonders why Paul went to such great lengths in 1 Corinthians 13 to explain what [agape] means, if its meaning was so narrow (unconditional love). It also raises other problemmatic questions--did the Greek lexicon already possess a word which precisely embraced God's (God Almighty/Jehova/JesusChrist) love? Hardly, Paul was revealing a sense of love previously little understood.
"Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love [agapate] the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets." (Luke 11:43) -- always "unconditional love"? Clearly not.
I forgot about that one.
Labels invented by liberal progressives to paint any guy that has a good buddy as, uh, one of those sexually confused individuals who call themselves GAY!
My parents met Dino at The Latin Quarter. He bought a round for their table and brought Jerry Vale over to meet my mother because her name is Stella.
Jerry Lewis didn’t leave the hotel room.
Homosexuals fantasize that everyone else shares their perversion.
