Quote from: Taxgirl
Yeah, the Beatles guys being gays or being concerned with gayness is absolutely absurd...(chainsaw)(fire1)(angry8)(scream3)


Just for context, a nice photo of a Beatle. Gay? Never. ;)

That photo was taken at a fancy-dress party for existentialists or 'exies' - so no gay connotations here, especially as Stuart was dating Astrid at the time!

I don't understand how you could make a blanket statement that someone is gay because of a picture. Stu was an artsy fartsy type, so what if he looked a little effeminate in that picture. Brian Epstein was a gay as a picnic basket, but it would be tough to tell from any of his photos. He was very dapper, his mannerisms weren't overtly gay. You  can't judge a book by it's cover, and that seems to be running rampant on this thread. I'm sure there was many an old man that wrote them off as being queer after seeing them on the Ed Sullivan show with their 'long hair'.

Anybody photoshop that for us?

People call everything "gay" now.  I don't even know what it means.

I hoped my smiley face showed that I wasn't implying Stuart was gay, just that it is a very gay photo. I was respondoing to Taxgirls statement with a wink and a smile.
Anyway, enough. This was all supposed to be a bit of fun.

The only f**s were Brian and John. Come on, you all remember their little episode together.

Quote from: dwarf_mcdougal
I think your comments may be indicitive of you're own homosexual tendencies. Not that there's anything wrong with that. If you're gay, you're gay. Salute.
Are you watching Seinfeld by any chance? not that there's anything wrong with that ;D - classic.



here's an article I found in Times online:

Fey Four: Beatles outed as gay icons
Robert Booth
THE Beatles have been outed. The Fab Four

I think only a gay person could answer that. I regret to say I do not qualify. I prefer the title "artsy."

But then again: what is 'gay' about their music? Why is West End Girls a gay song? We can name each and every artist that is gay, but I want to know how I can detect a so called gay song. What is so characteristic on a gay song? Some kind of sound? A special rhythm?

I did a Google search because there is a picture of the Beatles with crew cuts. Someone doctored up a trading card and so it does exist, I just couldn't find it.
