its not really right to say he was a homosexual or heterosexual...gacy was a predator...he wasnt gratified by homo or hetero sex...it was the power over his victims that gave him sexual pleasure.

reply

many if not most prominent serial killers are/were homosexuals. (Dahmer, Gacy, Gein, etcetra, etc)

reply

woah woah let's not let that last statement spawn some generalizations...however I doubt you meant that to be offensive.

reply

oh no, not in the least bit, just that alot of serial killers that i've studied up on tend to be of that persausion, it's not to infer that homsexuals are all serial killers. THAT statement would be simply insane and over the top. If I had offended anyoneone who took my statement the wrong way, i appologize profusely.

reply

I understand what you mean...thanks :)

Ed Gein was not homosexual. He was obsessed with his mother, or so they say.

Ummm, most serial killers kill women and then have sex with their corpses....Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgeway, Eddy Kemper. Most are straight.

reply

I don't know exactly what he was, but I can say one thing about him. He was one crazy man. After seeing his movie it scares me to know that someone really did all that. He acted like such a nice guy, but he really wasn't.

i've done lots of research on serial killers seeing as I will be joining the FBI soon... and it one book it says he admits in a court room that he is NOT homosexual but a PROUD BISEXUAL ... he did have a wife but she left him.. took the kids too because he was doing bad stuff and she knew it. Hopes this clears it up for you.

reply

.......though he still never preyed on women as far as I know.

There had to be something about his attraction to men, or the power relationship he had with male victims as women are generally weaker and wouldve been easier to subdue.

reply

For what it's worth (as I am not a trained or licensed behavorial psychologist), it seemed to me that his abduction and killings were acting out in revenge against his father. He basically switched places with his father by overpowering these "boys", which in a warped way was him getting back by emulating the very behavior that upset him.

But he was clearly bisexual.

And no, being married may have little to nothing to do with sexual proclivities and everything to do with public appearance in society.

gacy was homosexual.his marriages meant nothing by his own admission.

reply

If you are a male and your sexual taste is in other males, you are a homosexual. He raped atleast 33 male victims, and he confessed to have had sex with many other guys, so I think it is pretty well known he was a homosexual. Like when a profiler asked him why he prefered boys, his answer was that he enjoyed quick sex with guys over the "wine and dine" with ladies.

reply

Gacy was indeed a fudge packer, but the fact that he had a wife and kids confuses the hell out of me. It just adds to how many bad husbands there are in this world, a friend of mine is like always joked about never getting married because he has a huge rage problem, but next time that comes up I am so using Gacy as a comparison, of a really bad husband, lol, he's the model of what you NEVER should be.

reply

He wasn't homosexual, he was bisexual.

People claim that the reason he preyed on men and boys was because he was ashamed of his homosexuality and so took it out on those he killed.

You should try and catch the serial killer series on Biography Channel, there's a few of them on Gacy, Dahmer, Bundy, Gein, Aileen Wuornos, Gary Ridgeway, Dennis Rader, Henry Lee Lucas, David Berkowitz, Albert DeSalvo. It's in that he claims of his bisexuality.

And on the note of him being married...........Michael Barrymore (Only Brits will probably recognise the name) was married for many years before coming out, as are a lot more people probably!!

some of the best gay sex I have ever had has been with married men.
when it comes down to it, being married is no indicator of a person's sexuality.

as for the majority of serial killers being gay. that is frankly ridiculous. most serial killers are straight white men.

Isn't a bisexual essentually someone who can be sexually fulfilled with either an opposite sex or same sex partner? So in a way a bisexual male is both a homosexual and a hetrosexual. It has always seemed that way to me.

I think some people get hung up on the words and maybe in some cases have preconceived notions about what they mean.

reply

He sooo was a homo. Just b/c he said he was a bisexual doesn't mean a damn thing. It was only boys that he raped and killed-HOMO!
