Do you think he's lying about being gay?
I don't know what it is, he just gives a strong, "I go down on women" vibe.
He who builds his house by the sea builds his life in the sand.
I can see that... My guess is he's about 80-85% gay...

No.
shareWHAT??! First of all, he couldn't look less interested in going down on a woman to me, and I'm a woman so I'm familiar with the look.
Second of all, what's the upside of lying about being gay? Being harassed by bigots? Having sexy women not hit on you because they think you're not going to be interested? Having unenlightened straight guys feel uncomfortable around you? Being gay is hard, why would anybody choose it if they didn't actually want to sleep with somebody or have a romance with a person of their same gender? Ian came out during the height of the AIDS epidemic when nobody famous was out of the closet, and you were treated like a pariah if you did. Nobody would do that unless they really really wanted to bone dudes.
While I would clearly think he was gay, I can see why straight guys might pretend to be gay. Remember this is Hollywood where often up is down and down is up. How many times have we already seen women that seem to change their sexuality more often than they change their shoes, straight then lesbian.. then bi... then straight again... Why do they do it? Because they think it is trendy and it gets them publicity... I can see a guy being stupid enough to do the same thing, although I don't think it will work quite as well for them as it seem to work for the women... I mean I've never heard of any women saying, "wow I really would like to see a couple of dudes banging each other," but I have certainly heard guys saying they would love to see a couple of women going after it with each other.
shareConsidering that he came out over 30 years ago, I don't think that it was ever anything trendy for him.
Honestly, even if it gets attention, women don't have sex with other women just to be trendy. I am assuming you are a straight male by your comments and username, so please excuse me if I'm wrong, but would you be good having sex with another male just to be trendy or because you want to please a woman? If it doesn't turn you on, it's not going to just because it's "hip".
Well you're assuming those female celebrities that are constantly pretending to be lesbians or bi are actually going down on other women. I suspect the truth is they just show up with a woman to a party or club to get people to think they are doing a woman. The fact that you see so many leaked celebrity sex videos of women banging men, but never of them with women tends to make me think they really don't ever actually get busy with the women and that it is all just bullshit to get publicity. I mean are we supposed to believe that the only time a woman's sex tape gets exposed just happens to be when it was a straight sex tape? The lesbian tapes would sell just as well on the internet and the hackers that crack into the icloud aren't going to be saying oh, its a lesbian tape we wouldn't want to put that out on the internet... I mean how many of these sexuality flipping women have actually even moved in with a female? The lesbians in Hollywood that are real didn't ever pretend to be straight, they might not have admitted they were gay to begin with but they didn't go around pretending to be straight... Frankly if I was a lesbian I would be disgusted by these sexual chameleons that make a mockery of real lesbians, all the do is reinforce the belief by the Christian nutters that think your sexuality can be changed by sending you to a gay camp.
Just out of curiosity, how many of those females with sex tapes that have leaked with men are also the same ones who are with women? I don't pay attention because I don't care, so I am asking honestly. I don't even know who you are referring to.
shareI haven't tried to trace them all down because I don't really give a damn which ones are playing the world for suckers.. but I know you can find Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, and Bella Thorne with guys though all have also gone down the I'm into women road, about the time their careers were starting to sputter or they were about to release a new album... so those three have amazingly managed to only have their straight acts leaked. It simply seems oddly convenient that I don't think I can ever recall hearing about a celebrity having their lesbian sex tape leaked... which is why it just seem like when these women suddenly decide to jump out of the closet that it doesn't really ring true.
shareI didn't think Grande has ever said that she is bi, just hinted at it, which I agree doesn't ring true, but I think that sexuality is a spectrum. I think you will find that more women honestly come out as bi as it's more accepted by our society than it is for men.
shareMuch more acceptable... but it just seems damned strange that with all these bi women they never seem to have the leaked evidence to back it up... nor do you see these suddenly bi women actually moving in with a woman. I mean come on, the often don't have any qualms about moving in with a guy or marrying a guy in Miley's case... but they just can't seem to find a girl to get close to? I don't think I can think of a single one of these suddenly bi women that is really bi... I just think they are playing the public for fools.
shareI don't know about that. I identify as bi/pan sexual as I have had physical attraction to a trans person but not acted on it. I have been in relationships and have had relations with both men and women, yet I have only lived with two partners and those were both male.
shareIt's always the straights who are experts on the intricacies of being gay.
Nope hes gay he always has young twinks on his arm when he goes to dinner, award shows and parties. Money can get you the hottest boys even if your old.
shareI really want to deal with this level of stupidity today, but I just can't :/
