Wasn’t gay - was caught having a wank to a female film in a porn theater. His Pee Wee character became a gay icon (just as they’ve appropriated the rainbow and the word ‘gay’) but he’d been married.

I think they had to keep him away from kids after he was caught being a pervert

Nope, he was straight. Just liked porn - he was ahead of his time

I realize that he was married and divorced. I think he was bi. He is entitled to his privacy, since he wanted it that way.

He may have been talented to some people, but I wasn’t a fan.

People who want to wank off in public places are gross to me.

I wonder if a plaque in his honor will installed in the basement of the Alamo? He did make it famous after all.

What we know is that he had a huge collection of vintage and antique art, mostly aesthetic or historical interest but certainly not what would be hard core today. And he never approached children inappropriately or it wouldn’t have been a misdemeanor.

“Why is your hand in my popcorn, Pee-wee?” “That’s not my hand, Dottie.”

Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure is easily one of the funniest movies ever and just good, silly fun. And having up-and-comers like Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks being a part of it is like icing on the cake.

But an actor like that who makes funny, family-friendly entertainment can’t afford any marks on their reputation. And, unfortunately, a couple of arrests pretty much ended his career. You couldn’t think of the character without being reminded of the arrests.
