26. I think Mr. cruise is living a lie!
He might have just proposed to Katie Holmes, but it is more likely the bloated corpse of porn king John Holmes in his dreams

11. What was the question and what was his answer?
You know usually the interviewers want to suck up so bad that they only ask "approved" questions.

15. the question has been asked on DU alone countless times, and everyone
knows that most Americans read DU. so, Tom Cruise has read and purposely ignored those threads, and the coverup continues...

22. he sure is nuts, although that doesn't have anything to do with him
repeatedly avoiding issues pertaining to his sexuality (or lack thereof).

28. It goes against the image he has projected.
Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 10:39 AM by Shell Beau
Many women are/used to be in love with him. He is all about the money, so he doesn't want to ruin it! That is my guess!

4. About his heterosexuality?
Good god, that guy doesn't shut up about it.

Terry, steadfastly refusing to accept in any way, shape or form that Cruise could be anything but heterosexual. :-)

13. More sick of people not believing the frequent answer to that question
Not like Cruise hasn't answered the question. Some people just want his answer to be different. Kind of look Bush with WMD. "No sir, there are no WMDs in Iraq." "You're fired. Next?"

29. You're kidding, right?
Tom Cruise is suing Kyle Bradford for defamation. Bradford, a gay porn star whose real name is Chad Slater, allegedly told French celebrity gossip magazine Actustar that he had an affair with Cruise during his marriage to Nicole Kidman. The $100 million lawsuit states, "There is not a germ of truth to this vicious, self- promoting story. While Cruise thoroughly respects others rights to follow their own sexual preference, he is not a homosexual and had no relationship of any kind with Kyle Bradford and does not even know him." A longer story at E! reviews Cruise's history of battling gay rumors and reports that Actustar has since printed a retraction. Daze reprints and translates the original Actustar story here.
Yahoo | E! | Actustar (May 2001)

After being sued by Tom Cruise for $100 million, Kyle Bradford posted the following statement on his personal web site: "Regarding the news everyone has been reading...... I have never been to France, I have never spoken with 'Actustar Magazine', and have never said any of the statements allegedly said by me. The things being reported internationally are totally untrue and very hurtful to all parties."
Kyle Bradford (May 2001)

Over the years, Cruise's bedroom habits have been a matter of intense speculation for the tabloids. But the 38-year-old star has grown increasingly vigilant about taking on rumor-mongers. In 1997, Kidman told Ladies' Home Journal that she and her husband would take the offensive on reports claiming their marriage was a sham. "e are going to sue over it," she said. "It gets to a point where you have to protect your children."

The couple also successfully sued the Star supermarket tabloid in 1999, after it published a story claiming Cruise and Kidman needed a sex coach for their steamy scenes in Stanley Kubrick's film, Eyes Wide Shut. The lawsuit was later settled, with the Star issuing a full retraction and making an unspecified donation to a charity of Cruise and Kidman's choice.

36. So taking people to court proves your guilt?
He has denied it every time he's been asked. He has denied it to friends, to spouses, to reporters, to tabloids, to gossip magazines, and in court documents. There has not been one shred of evidence or one half-way substantiated rumor yet even indicating he is gay. No one has come forward and proven he is gay. No one has come forward with even a strong argument that he is gay. The times when someone has claimed to have proof, they could not produce the proof when asked. Some of them even denied having ever said what they were reported to have said.

On the other side, he has been married twice to women, both of whom have said he is straight. He has dated several other women, who have all claimed he is straight. Not one, even in anger, has claimed he is not straight, or that he is even dysfunctional.

Tom Cruise wanted to be a priest when he was 14. He's always been a moral, almost prudish man on matters of sexuality. He has made several comments that he believes strongly in monogamy. The whole rumor that he is gay started only because he doesn't slam every young female actress onto the casting couch like other male celebrities, so dumb-ass male chauvanists decided that meant he's gay. Oh yeah, then there's the occasional "gaydar" argument, though there are just as many gaydar readings claiming he's not gay.

He's straight. Until someone proves otherwise, they're just making noise.
