4. Miss Bette Davis and Miss Joan Crawford!
Seeing their movies ("Mildred Pierce", "All About Eve", "The Women", "The Little Foxes") was a big head start on the road to my FABULOUS GAY LIFE.

And then along came an event so incredible, so amazing, so FABULOUS..."Whatever Happened yo Baby Jane"...

And HONEY...

I did NOT want to go back!

:-)

34. I'm not gay, or even particularly cheerful, but
is "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" not the BEST? God I love that movie, not just for the stars but also the bits with Victor Buono in them. "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte" is good too because of the extra added ingredient of Agnes Moorhead. Gotta love her!

7. LOL...
I admit, my poll's a little male-centric.

But I'd love to see one for the gals.

16. Hey Insider
Well, I go back to the same era. When I heard "Gym Teacher" by Meg Christian for the first time, it was the beginning of a new era.

14. Still waiting. I'm doing all the right things.
Edited on Thu Feb-19-04 08:36 PM by put out
And still waiting. Maybe same-sex marriages will finally make me gay. Many of our cultural and political leaders think so, evidentially.

Evidently. Shoot, I want the spell-check to correct my syntax, make my writing more clear, and keep me from posting tripe. Dang spell-check.

I wanted to be a beauty queen just like her.


I'm kidding. I'm straight. But if I was gay, I'd give her all the credit.

"I learned it by watching YOU!"

(Apologies for referencing a horrid 80s PSA about drug prevention. ;))

edit: Well, I learned all but the *actually being gay* stuff from you. :P

26. Ouch. You and your evil 70's R&B, NightTrain, made me a gay male.
As long as my husband thinks I'm a straight femme, though, no problem.

I'm still trying to figure out where the kid came from, though???

25. Disco. I still think I'm a gay male
in the body of a straight female.

None of that Bee\gees crap either; Chic, EW&F, Tavares, does P-Funk count?

Thanks, Disco!

28. Well . . . I'm actually straight, but if I WERE gay. . .
it would be all the fault of that liberal gay agenda and their recruiting and indoctrination of me as a child into the gay lifestyle :) :) :)

30. That indoctrination thing gets a bit tiring, and it's not working for me..
But, Quinn might be recruited to be gay. Don't let him watch T.V. or read liberal media writing. You will all be safe, then.

32. Quinn can do whatever he wants :)
Now Burke, the other male cat in the house might be a little perturbed by that, but hey that's his problem :) :) :)

29. Yes, I confess...
I felt the recruiter needed a toaster, so I signed up!

Dunno why I am. I just am. I am what I am. But I don't eat much spinach... :D

31. I want to open a Gay night club called "Recruitment Headquarters"
or something along those lines. It would probably get burned down...especially down here in TX, but it would be funny as hell.
