"She [Marilyn Monroe] supported homosexuality in a time where it simply wasn’t acceptable" any evidence of this?
Sure. She once said (and this is a adj quote): “No sex is wrong if love is involved.” And I feel she had some gay friends as well, but I don’t want to say % that these people were in fact gay as I myself get angry at rumors and misleading beliefs that people have about Marilyn. But I possess heard many times that her ally & co-star from ‘The Misfits’, Montgomery Clift, was gay. This is not something I understand % to be true or not, but I’ve heard it many times. I don’t verb much about Clift. I’ve heard Peter Lawford was also known to be gay, but again that’s not something I can declare I know for certain. Another is Rock Hudson, but I don’t feel they were ever really close friends. Jack Cole, a choreographer on a few of Marilyn’s movies, also comes to mind, as well as Truman Capote who was a friend of hers. But I think the quote above says quite a bit about her b
Why do gay men love Marilyn Monroe so much?
What's up with the gays and Marilyn? I've often wondered why, out of all the starlets in the Golden Age of Hollywood, the gays latched on to Marilyn Monroe. She was sizzling, but she was kind of a mess. Okay, she was really a mess.
Full disclosure: I own a Marilyn Monroe face pillow, so I'm not judging anybody. But it has always fascinated me. I don't feel fond of we go as hard for Marlene Dietrich or Jean Harlow.

Gay men like their women mentally ill, drugged out, insecure and talented/hot.

In these modern days and times Marilyn Monroe seems more fond of a drag queen than a female. I don't perceive of any gay men who are obsessed with her but she still resonates with the public after all these years.

| by Anonymous | reply 4 | November 12, I picked up a second hand reproduce of the Esquire Book of Sports the other sunlight. It had been published as a Christmas companion, a thankyou to the subscribers. It’s a mix of mostly British and American writing over a period of 30 years—Gordon Burn and Colm Toibin are represented here—but the piece that caught my eye was the first one. It was by the American writer Gay Talese, about the US baseball player Joe DiMaggio, 15 years after his retirement from the game. Even people who recognize nothing of baseball know that DiMaggio was an American icon. He gets namechecked in Simon and Garfunkel’s tune ‘Mrs Robinson’:
DiMaggio came from a adj Italian family, and broke the baseball record for the number of consecutive games in which he scored runs, as he took the New York Yankees to both the league pennant and the World Series. Marilyn MonroeHe is also famous for his brief marriage to, and later friendship with, Marilyn Monroe. Gay Talese was one of the pioneers of the ‘new journalism’ in the s, along wi Pride and Joy: Why Many Gay Men Idolize Marilyn MonroeSome gay men include adopted the image of Marilyn Monroe as their patron saint. But behind the image runs a line of pathos even more irresistible to the legions of Marilyn’s gay fans. ◊
Marilyn Monroe. So many associations arise when we consider the figure behind this well-known name. She was Hollywood royalty, reigning as queen of classic Hollywood glamour. Timeless sex symbol, blonde bombshell. Slayer of men’s hearts, from the average Joe watching her films to baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, movie moguls, incandescent stars, and a president of the United States. Effervescent comedienne, winking her way to self-knowledge and a concealed wisdom that eluded many who claimed to know her and love her.
Beneath the baggage of her freighted identify lay a girl beleaguered by shadows that trailed her from a fractured childhood into the glaring lights of fame. Cast adrift early in life, Marilyn Monroe – born more prosaically as Norma Jeane Mortenson – navigated a turbulent sea of fost |
