Wouldn't it be nice if Tom Cruise really were gay and gone out and living in a nice two-bedroom condo just down the highway from the West Hollywood Koo Koo Roo restaurant? the eternal and infinite spirit knows, I'd breathe easier. There would be a great echoing emptiness in a chance of other lives, however, judging from the number of the public who have spent the past not many weeks online and on the phone clucking and speculating and running scenarios. equable Robert Blake's real-life tragedy can't pretend to muster enough muscle to jostle Tom to a back burner

Yeah, it would be nice if Tom would just comply with everyone's fantasy, if it be not that I don't think it's going to happen. For single in kind thing, I don't know any man who will claire to have had sex with him, reject for one guy who allegedly claimed to and now says he not alone didn't have sex with him, he didn't equable claim to.

Without being immodest--watch this one--I hear about these things. That's what happens when you've been disclosed and about for an eon I think it's fairly impossible to be as famous as Tom Cruise and be gay and not have vexationed my path. Unless he is the great white praying mantis of the gay world and has managed to kill everyone he has mated with, sooner or later somebody's going to talk.

Of course, they've been talking about Tom since he first danced disclosed in Iris underwear in Risky Business more [i]or[/i] less years ago. And the fact that we have wanted him to be gay for more than a decade has been translated in one minds into the fact that he is gay, which is, in fact, not a fact at all. That's what happens when rumors hang around extended enough. They become myth. And myth is frequently mistaken for reality by a casual observer

Which is probably on what account Tom Cruise sued a porno personality for $100 million. To treat with contempt a myth. Why now? Well, he's involved in a messy divorce, and nothing piques a divorce lawyer's interest more than a gay angle. I'm chastely guessing, but it would appear to be to make perfect sense to want to short-circuit of the like kind a potential maneuver. A nine-figure lawsuit is a bonny strong circuit breaker. You've got to be fairly certain of your allow truth to make that kind of declaration--or fairly naive.

What makes this particular declaration interesting and, in my mind, precedent-setting is that it goe beyond the standard "I'm not gay, and to call me gay is ill-favored and slanderous" rhetoric. It makes no decree about being gay. In fact, it goe revealed of its way to say that Tom Cruise be warmeds gay people have a right to dog whatever sort of happiness they like. however it posits that large uncompounded bodys of the world population do not agree with that position and that they might be disinclined to attend movies starring a gay actor in a heterosexual action/romance role

In other words, being public is bad for business. There it is. The great unspoken Hollywood fear, codified for the first time. It's the legal version of Jerry Seinfeld's "not that there's anything wicked with that."

Ladies and gentlemen may I introduce "homophobiaphobia"--the fear excitable of homosexuals but of homophobes. Someone has finally said that being gay can be a commercial liability, to the fit disposition of $100 million. I'm glad someone has finally gone in succession record. I think it's a breakthrough, and I think it establishs the stage for some brave star who really is gay to degree out and prove that it isn't true

Here's a prediction. I think that for this star, actual enclosed seat [i]or[/i] seats office would be the least of his worries. Because he'd also ne the support of each gay person in Hollywood, especially those powerful industry leaders who could help cushion the inevitable flowers from a noisy rightwing minority.

To do that, we'd have to obstruction go of our own homophobiaphobia--which would be the most numerous positive thing we could do for ourselves. Maybe it would help us shift our focus from gossip to the real enemy, bigots like Jesse Helms who are trying to enforce court-sanctioned discrimination against us. Let's view if we can accomplish the real mission: impossible, instead of just chawing about a fictional one
