So, if I don’t want to act gay(ish), does that mean I’m Nostromo?

*rimshot*

Thank you! Thank you! I’m here all week! Try the veal!

[Dallas59]

Hell...just get rid of both of them...they're racists anyway...

Nostromo is Italian for boatswain.

[DemforBush]

Really? I didn’t know that. I just knew it was the name of the ship in Alien (from the Conrad novel, I’d guess).

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Ask Travolta and Cruise. As much as they’re the privileged class openly gay actors generally don’t sell tickets as action heroes or movie leading men.

[Patriot Babe]

Isn’t Nick Jonas a Christian? I thought he and his brothers were.

[nickcarraway]

“Were,” in the past tense.

[razorback-bert]

WeHo?

[punditwannabe]

I know, right? This is a total tun off, TOTAL turn off. You know who’s HOT?? Chris Pratt. He can’t be a Stromo, no way!

[napscoordinator]

It is a strange phenomenon that is for sure. My Facebook is full of straight married couples that are just thrilled to support gay junk. And they are Catholic too.....go to church every Sunday Catholic....I am too but I don’t support any gay “business” at all.

[antidisestablishment]

“My straight friends love it when gay men flirt.”

I guess I am really old. When I was growing up, that could get a girlie-man hurt or worse.

Please, please, please don’t suggest that Chris Hemsworth is gay. Jenner was the last straw......Hemsworth is such terrific eye candy, he simply cannot be gay!

Packing fudge is more profitable and lucrative in Hollyweird these days.

[uglybiker]

Craaaaaaaaab people
Craaaaaaaaab people.....

[norwaypinesavage]

I have another name for them: “Queer”

[longtermmemmory]

This is a BS article written by an “other team” player.

It is no different than the metrosexual BS that was tried a few years prior.

This is really saying there is no money in homosexual films so they are trying to quota “homosexualness” into mainstream films. Particularly those chick flick films.

[elcid1970]

How disgusting this all is! Yet another reason why I haven’t set foot in a movie theater in 35 years.

There’s Brucie-Woosie Jenner & now this! Faggieness is the new normal. Signs of the End Times.

[rlmorel]

I am just fed up with all of it.

I have long been a “live and let live” type as long as they kept their business to themeselves, but apparently those types aren’t interested in that.

My mistake for not recognizing it sooner.

[mom3boys]

Ick. ick. ICK!!!

After reading that article I feel like I just swam across a river of perfumed poo. Now I need to look at pictures of Sean Connery and President Reagan, and then thank God for my hubby, or I won't be able to go to sleep peacefully!

...shudder..
