Troy Aikman is on Fox right now, and I have a question....

[joeybee12]

...I've heard rumors about him being gay for the longest time. Is he?

Yeah, I know he's married with kids now, but we all know that may mean nothing.

Even heard it from people who decided not to like him because they heard he was gay.

Anybody else have anything to add?

[Lithos]

1. Does it really matter?

n/t

[joeybee12]

4. No, but I'm curious if other people have heard the same rumors

Then again, it might matter, because if he was and came out, it would help the cause.

2. A I K M A N

Since he and I have never had sex, and I've never seen him in flagrante delicto with another man, I don't know if he's gay, and frankly I don't care.

3. You mean "Aikman" right?

No, he's not, but it doesn't matter one way or the other.

Married a couple of years ago, and has a daughter (and an older step-daughter).

[joeybee12]

5. Yeah, fixed it...

...he married quite late--well, fairly late, and I'd heard it was to squash the rumors.

Anyway, I don't care one way or the other, but am curious about it since there had also been stories about an unnamed NFL quarterback who was gay.

I'd always hoped it was Steve Young.

6. Don't know, but it's rumored that he is the father of the child...

of an actress who appeared on a quirky 90s television show set in Alaska

[joeybee12]

8. Do you mean Janine Turner--Northern Exposure?

Saw an article about her recently--she's in texas and engaged to a real-life cowboy, or maybe they're already married!

[NicoleM]

15. I think

Jerry Jones Jr. is the father of her kid, not Troy.

[joeybee12]

16. Oooh...it gets juicy!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell me more!

7. The rumors around the Dallas

gay community is that he is gay. I don't know first hand, but that's what I hear.

[joeybee12]

9. If he is, then it would have been tough--no, impossible to come out

down in Texas when you're playing for the sainted Cowboys!

Anyway, I guess other people have heard the rumors as well!

[Ilsa]

10. Well, I never heard those rumors when I lived in Dallas,

but I'm not gay. I remember when he had a long term relationship (3-5 years maybe?) with a pretty blonde and successful C&W singer after Janene Turner. Word was they didn't marry because the singer couldn't have any more children, and he wanted a family. (She sang that song about "I'm looking for something in red" referring to different dress colors for varying situations.)

Maybe he was seen visiting a gay club or something. Big deal. I've visited gay clubs and restaurants with married girlfriends, and none of us were gay. We just liked the clubs and restaurants. Who knows how these rumors get started? If I wasn't told something specific about him being gay, I'd blow it off.

[Bronco69]

11. I think the singer you're reffering to

is Lorrie Morgan. I really couldn't care less either if he's gay, but being active in the gay community here in Dallas I've heard that rumor several times and I was just answering his question. :-)

13. I heard rumors about Sandra Bullock (nm)

[joeybee12]

14. Well, I've heard rumors about her, so....

...and anyway, who is she supposedly linked up with these days?

[Toby109]

12. Don't know but I did use the urinal next to his in a bar in Dallas.
