Call me naive - I've been nursing a crush on that judge form 'Over the Rainbow' - John Partridge, (even though he's pretty evil to some of the girls, admittedly.) Anyway, turns out he's gay - why am I always the last to know? And now I do know, it's so bleedin' obvious.....
Last time this happened it was Kevin Spacey and there've been many others over the years...
Once I know, it kills the crush (which in itself is obviously ridiculous anyway seeing as the whole thing is, err, slightly one sided).
WHY IS MY GAYDAR SO SHIT???

you can still fancy them even if they're gay you know! or did you fancy your changes in rl (hahahah)

EccentricaGallumbits · 24/04/2010 20:18

your Gaydar is indeed shite if you couldn't tell that one

Is kevin spacey gay? i didn't know that.

i don't mind about John Barrowman though as I feelhe'd want me anyway so we'dstill have fun.

MaureenMLove · 24/04/2010 20:20

Who's John Partridge? Not the fella that plays the gay in Eastenders? The answer was in the question really, wasn't it?

Popzie · 24/04/2010 20:22

BTW is Alistair Campbell gay? I though someone said he was and - for some stupid reason - I'm a tad disappointed. I mean it's not like I'm gonna meet him, although I though I did the other day.

You must be blind not to realise that one off over the Rainbow is! He's lovely tho!

thumbwitch · 24/04/2010 20:51

You don't even have a gaydar if you couldn't tell that "Christian" was a RL gay man!

I was disappointed that "Captain Jack" was gay but once I'd seen him as John Barrowman being himself, I realised.

Kevin Spacey still hasn't admitted to being gay, apparently, whether he is or isn't is in question. (he doesn't look it though)

kittycat37 · 24/04/2010 21:14

Maureen - See I didn't even know that John P played a gay man in 'stenders - I'm so out of touch.

Popzie - Alistair Campbell is soooooooooooo not gay and he so knows I'm the love of his life (but only in my head, alas). He's got a very attractive wife (more's the pity).

Thumbwitch - Err - Kevin Spacey - thought that was well, known but he looks like he could be ambidextrous to me.

Southeastra - I know it shouldn't change the fancying, knowing they're gay, but it does. Which I admit does suggest I have stalkerish tendencies of imagining my chances in real life....dear oh dear, how fourteen year old I realise I am.

Kevin Spacey is gay? Surely not!

thumbwitch · 24/04/2010 21:25

Google it, Lynette - some interesting stuff comes up! Especially the link to the Official Govt Report in the Mirror...

SleepingLion · 24/04/2010 22:19

Well, Kevin Spacey is one thing but - you didn't spot John Partridge? Really?

In that case I've got some very bad news for you about Graham Norton...

RedBlueRed · 24/04/2010 22:25

I have no idea who John Partridge is, never seen Over The Rainbow.

Was gutted when I hear the rumour that Kevin Spacey is gay, not that it makes one jot of difference to my life eitherway but...

kittya · 24/04/2010 22:44

He is obviously gay!! Sadly lots of high profile actors, especially in the States dont feel like they can come out, incase if affects their career. My gayday is spot on, I guess thats what happens when you have a couple of gay best friends as a teenager and get dragged around gay clubs!! Infact, the other day I was looking at my facebook friends and 80 percent of the men are gay! I must admit though to being disappointed when George Michael came out. I had a HUGE crush!! I still cant get over that David Walliams is straight.

Jacaqueen · 25/04/2010 00:13

My gaydar is non existant. I fell in love with a man when I was 19 who was gay. I had no idea. Even when a mutual friend sat me down and told me I still couldn't believe it.

Mind you we went to see Dirty Dancing 5 times beacause we were both in love with P Swayze.

kittya · 25/04/2010 00:19

The Innocence of youth!! thats sweet, at least you didnt marry him. Some boys, even at primary school, looking back it was so obvious. I remember when I was nine what boy always made us play Charlies Angels and, he was always the Farrah Fawcett character!! never Charlie! and yes, he did turn out to be gay.

JustAnotherManicMummy · 25/04/2010 00:25

thumbwitch there's an offical govt report?

strandedatsea · 25/04/2010 00:29

Isn't George Clooney supposed to be one of those closet Hollywood actors?

thell · 25/04/2010 00:31

Charlie's Angels!! That's priceless

My gay friend I knew from youth theatre (clue number one) - his fantasy was to be in Coronation Street as Bet Lynch's long lost son. Bless him! Presumably wearing a leopard-skin coat and carrying a cigarette holder.

kittya · 25/04/2010 00:32

Now, that would be a damn shame! wouldnt surprise me though. Oh, we could really start a thread now. Who is, who isnt? we would get into trouble! Look at Tom Cruise!

Molesworth · 25/04/2010 00:39

ROFL @ "I have some bad news for you about Graham Norton ... " SleepingLion

BitOfFun · 25/04/2010 00:41

Shall I break it to you now about George Clooney?

Molesworth · 25/04/2010 00:42

Simon Cowell's another one, fo sho

Fliight · 25/04/2010 07:14

George Clooney is beautiful.

Is he really gay, as well?

QueenThistle · 25/04/2010 14:22

Oh I always seem to fancy the gay ones...

Rupert Everett
Dan Butler (Bulldog in Frasier)
Guillermo Diaz
Adam Lambert
Derek Jacobi (in his younger days..saying that though, I fancied him in Gladiator!)
David Hyde Pierce

But the one I refuse to believe is Derren Brown. He is NOT gay, he just hasn't met me yet Oh I wish I could make him love boobs.

Simon Cowell is not gay for that exact reason aswell

mmrsceptic · 25/04/2010 14:27

There are people who fancy Alistair Campbell?

oh dear

shag or die -- die I'm afraid

kittya · 25/04/2010 22:53

I wouldnt think it of George Clooney. I never knew David Hyde Pierce is gay but not surprised, I would say the father from Frasier is, have you ever seen him in interviews? And they other oldie, Victor Mildrew, is he out? Its a crying shame that they mostly cast straight actors in gay roles, thinking those two from Brothers and Sisters.
