Was Liberace Gay?

[RetroLounge]

I didn't know that, in fact I thought he had maternity suit problems.

p.s. bad copycat, I know...

[Kutjara]

1. Actually, he was completely straight.

He was just so repressed that he could never summon up the courage to come out of the closet.

2. I can't believe Liberace was gay!

I mean, women loved him! I didn't see that one coming...

[RebelOne]

3. Is the pope Catholic?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberace

In 1982, Liberace's live-in boyfriend of some five years, Scott Thorson, sued the pianist for $113 million in palimony after an acrimonious split-up. Liberace continued to publicly deny that he was homosexual. In 1984, most of Thorson's claim was dismissed although he received a $95,000 settlement.<2>

4. He'd sue your ass for saying that, if he were alive!

[Gormy Cuss]

5. No, he was a morose guy.

GOOD copycat, RL.

6. This reminds me

A few years back I was yappin' with my mom and we were talking about how much she liked disco. Something was said about the Village People and my mom said something like, "I never knew any of them were gay". LOL. I love my mom to death, but she cracks me up. You would have to meet her to understand. I guess no one in their generation was born with gaydar.

9. Cowboy.

He cut a singing CD...met him, his partner at the release party a few yrs ago. Though, of course, I could be mistaken.

[johnnie]

10. That's who I meant up there

The cowboy.

17. woah! Jethus Christ

reminds me of NewsRadio where Andy Dick's character Matthew naively dressed up for two Halloweens as a "construction worker" and a "motorcycle enthusiast"

[Sugar Smack]

11. No, no. He had rhinestone suit problems.

:smoke:

[kwassa]

12. I've seen his grave at Forest Lawn cemetary in LA

I attended a funeral, and the gravesite was about 20 feet away from his.

He was gay? Who knew?

20. I couldn't believe he was a sex symbol in the '50s

I guess they couldn't tell? :shrug:

[mitchum]

23. Not really a sex symbol, but instead thought to be an ideal "catch"...

by matronly, older women. Kinda like Alex Trebek...actually...a lot like Alex Trebek.

[mitchum]

21. No, he just liked to fuck men (I can't believe I stole a line from...

Roy Cohn!)

[Guava Jelly]

[Moloch]

24. No, of course not...
