Cesar Romero (gay, but not public about it at the time).

Probably not gay but promoted as such two years after he died by an author with a reputation for lying out his butt.

I’m all for renaming Washington D.C. but only because I think the city an insult to the name of so great a man as George Washington.

The reason gays were banned from the military is because of complaints of gays raping fellow solders in the early wars.

What stereotype of British masculinity?

The English are notorious for buggery.

Come now, we are talking about the British army, not the British navy.

I knew two fellow soldiers at Bragg were gay but they kept to themselves, did their job and nobody made anything of it. With much alcohol involved a bunch of us decided the Army needed an all gay combat battalion. Reason 1) You always fight harder for the one you love, 2) We wouldn’t lose a whole generation because they aren’t going to breed any way, 3) The enemy across the battlefield always knows who they are fighting and didn’t want lose to a bunch of pansies (well trained, equipped and motivated pansies) and they damn sure didn’t want to get captured.

More than 1/2 of bisexuals polled have never had a same-sex episode.

Then they are NOT bi-sexual.


Merely wannabes.

They didn't come to MY mind, so I had to Googl® them:


Nelson's final words (as related by all three written accounts) were, "Thank God I have done my duty." He is said to have repeated this statement until he became unable to speak. Although Surgeon Beatty records this, he was not present when Nelson became unable to speak and returned just before Nelson died.

Cisgender == what normal folks call "normal".

More specifically, you're the sex you were born with and like it that way.
