gay?

 

after seeing the movie...YES!

 

Brokeback Willie...

 

Hm. The actors that play "gay" roles in movies are assumed to be gay in real life. Yet, if the media finds out that an actor turns down a role that is "gay", he or she is assumed to be homophobic.

Remember the time when movies was only ENTERTAINMENT as in not real, not true, just for pleasure, like a play. And the people who play the roles are only PORTRAYING a role? It is sad some people have a hard time telling the difference between reality and fiction.

 

Yeah, I guess so. But, I wasn't wondering about the actors in Brokeback Mountain or actors who accept or decline certain roles and how that reflects on their sexuality. I know Ledger and Gyllenhaal aren't gay.

I was wondering about Willie Nelson, irrespective of any movies. It would come as a shock to me to learn he is gay. Kinda like when I learned Rock Hudon and Montgomery Clift were gay.

 

Oh, I'd bet the house that Willie isn't gay. But you know most artists do tend to be more open-minded than the rest of us...

 

What do mean by artists being more open-minded than the rest of us? Do you mean they accept gays or being gay themselves more readily than non-artists or that they are more likely to be gay, or both?

 

Both, and that they're more likely to show interest in and/or explore something that's basically contrary to their nature. A lot of artists just crave experience, since that experience is often the basis of their art. Does that make any sense?

Sure. That makes sense, but I don't believe what you described is limited so much to artists. There are far more people who experiment than there are artists.

To repeat a point, I was shocked to learn that certain well-known entertainers were gay. I'm never shocked when a Joe Blow (no pun intended) comes out. I'm not a homphobe, but I am shocked at times by a famous person's contrariness, if you will.

My guess is that Willie Nelson is not gay, but I would no longer bet the house on it. I have my doubts now.
