R25, I thought Jonathan To Go would end up starring in one drama series after another, but his post-CSI:Horatio resume is shockingly underwhelming. His was a dick I thought would be highly suckable, and I wanted to see him more often. He'd be great playing "Jake Gyllenhaal's character's brother" if nothing else, but no, even in a movie called "Brothers," they cast that Dopey Maguire weasel.

There's an older DL thread on the obvious gay subtext of Bell Book and Candle that is curiously closed after only 37 replies.

Author John Van Druten was a gay man who lived in the West Village and always denied any intended gay subtext. In addition to his writing credits, I Remember Mama and I Am a Camera, based on Isherwood's Berlin stories and the source material of Cabaret, among others, Van Druten also directed the original Broadway production of The King and I and staged the entrance of the Siamese Children, recreated in the film but usually credited to the show's choreographer Jerome Robbins.

Watching Bell, Book and Candle as a closeted teen (16) even I could pick up on the hidden gay subtext. And I was pretty fucking clueless at that age.

The performance artist at the Zodiac club doing the gayest ever snake dance was drag queen worthy. The spinster aunt, underground, out of the way nightclubs, and the "regulars" who patronized it. Nicky and Redlitch's mutual fascination with each other and co-habitating while collaborating on the book. I was basically a kid and could read between the lines. I loved BB&C. To a gayling coming of age in Reagan's gloomily conservative 80's, the movie was an example of similar times, though decades apart.

Mr. Godsey got his thrills out in the woods with local farm boys. Jason Walton played Mr. Godsey's piano many times.

It was Grandpa Walton that introduced Ike to the joys of man/man love. Occasionally, they would drive to Charlottsville together for a Boys Night Out.

Nero Wolfe was obviously life partners with his live-in chef, Fritz. The way those two used to argue over bechamel sauce is totally the kind of conversations two old married foodie gays have. Archie Goodwin, that confirmed bachelor, was probably opportunistically bisexual.

Also, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham. There was so much drama there, mostly started by Wickham. They were boyhood chums: Probably started off as furtive blowjobs in the woods of Pemberley and then proceeded to a full-blown romance by the time they hit Eton. Then it all went sour at Oxbridge, as such affairs often did. After being dumped by Darcy, Wickham, rather than sensibly pulling a Maurice-style fadeout, went full-on psycho ex and tried to seduce and marry Darcy's sister. I'm fully convinced he only wanted Elizabeth Bennet because it was clear Darcy was infatuated. Then he marries Elizabeth's sister, just to make sure that Darcy has to awkwardly stare at him across the dining table at every family Christmas for the next 50 years.

Yep, definitely gay.

R184 THE FOX AND THE HOUND wasn’t allegorical in the slightest, gay or straight.

Mannix, the author, did meticulous research into the life-cyles of wild foxes and into professional dog-hunting, and he wanted to closely capture the mentality of an animal through his prose. The text itself is considered a eulogy to rural living and the lost autonomy of man & beast, with no anthropomorphic reading applicable.

Tod has long fruitful relationships with two mates and bears many kits, all of whom are sadly killed by the Master of Copper. The dogs in the novel reserve their passions for their kills. Interestingly, the Disney version of the character Copper correlates to the character Chief in the book, who is a younger black-and-tan hunting dog looking to eagerly replace the grizzled Copper.

You are correct that both Tod & Copper die in the novel. An aged Tod perishes of exhaustion after being pursued & caught by Copper, while an equally hale Copper is shot dead once he completes his mission (to kill Tod), and his Master learns that dogs are not permitted in the nursing home he is bound for. It’s a very depressing book, but exquisitely-penned and true-to-life.

R129/R144 Draco in particular came over less straight in the films from the books. Something about Felton’s flouncy, snarky interpretation of the role reminds of a bitchy HS closet-case in the Drama club.

Draco’s relationship with his father Lucius (played by the dreamy Jason Isaacs) had bizarre incestuous D/s overtones onscreen that made no appearance in the books, either. That could easily be a matter of poor chemistry, blocking or script direction than any deliberate acting choice, though.

Norman Bates wasn't gay. His psyche had been destroyed by an overwhelming love/hate incestuous relationship with his mother, and the appearance of an attractive woman upset his internal balance so much that it made "mother" jealous and sent him into a murderous breakdown.

Quite frankly, he'd have been better off gay. Of course he'd still have lived a wretched life in a poor little town with a devouring psycho of a mother, but at least there would have been something in his life that wasn't all about mother! If he'd been gay, his desire to go to the big city and find some dick might have saved him.

- He's unmarried and has a cat named Rose Aylmer. He refers to his cat as "one of the few women he could stand permanently." He carries around pictures of his cat to show to Jem and Scout.

- He likes to tease Miss Maudie by asking her to marry him, knowing she'll always refuse and later tells Atticus "I shall never marry."

- Scout's description of him: "I liked to smell him: he was like a bottle of alcohol and something pleasantly sweet.

You know R251, in the newest ‘Muppet Show’ (the reboot for adults from a few years ago) there are quite heavy-handed hints that Scooter is gay in the canon.

He likes stereotypically-gay activities, is teased and spoken to by other characters as if he’s oblivious to his own sexuality, and one episode he talks about his “personal trainer” in an obviously subtextual way.

For real progress Scooter should get to have a coming-out moment, even if he is unpopular or still a peripheral character. But of course the Muppets are Disney now, so that’s never going to happen.

I could fill up the remaining 350 replies in this thread with ‘The Prince of Tennis’; misleadingly not about competitive middleschool tennis at all, but rather homoromantic angsty love triangles between the pretty preppies who play it. Every form of adaptation - and there has been every kind including musicals, anime, manga, novels, films and radio programs - has a overtone that is unmistakeable even though there is little explicitly ‘gay’ content (there is one official gay character who is used for stock comedy, sadly typical for Japan where LGB is still considered immature, fetishistic or perverse).

The latest series (called ‘New Prince of Tennis’ or ‘Shinpuri’) reboot has even thrown the thin semblance of plot from previous adaptations out of the window, to hyperfocus on the subtextual gay content between the apparently-straight characters. There are ‘dates’ between some of the Male players, as well as trips to the beach at sunset and tortured confessions in churches, sleepovers and massages, long grapples in the rain wearing only short-shorts....Tennis is serious business.

Also the ‘Silver Pair’ doubles team playing as 1st rank for the Hyoutei Private School have, in a veiled way, been ‘outed’ as a possible romantic couple by Konomi Takeshi, the man who created their characters in the original comics. If you look at any ‘official art’ (books, DVD covers, trading cards & other merch) from the last decade featuring Shishido & Ohtori you’ll see that he encourages it (good for him).

Finally, here is the main stage actor for Shishido calling the actor for Ohtori his “aikata”; a sweet possessive term of endearment with a double-meaning.

The usage of the word “aikata” here initially implies the traditional definition of a musical accompaniest/duet partner (they sang on stage together) or a comedy foil (I.e. the “straight man” to a clown). In contemporary Japanese parlance however this word now denotes a “boyfriend” (generally only girls/young women use it this way, as if to say “this guy I’m with”) or a more PC 21st century word for “partner/companion/spouse” (many existing honorifics for a spouse are sexist/homophobic and old-fashioned).

The actor who played Shishido was also infamously outed some years ago on a variety show as a bisexual. Interesting.

I'm sure he's already been mentioned somewhere in this thread but I always thought Pete Malloy (played by Martin Milner) was closeted on ADAM-12. He rarely displayed any interest in women. Even when his partner, Jim Reed (played by Kent McCord), and Reed's wife tried to fix Malloy up with beautiful, smart women, he just could not care less. And they showed an episode yesterday in which Malloy had supposedly had a fling with this female police officer who was apparently still pissed off about the way their romance had ended. When she casually mentioned that she was seeing someone else (in an obvious attempt to make Malloy jealous), he was very dismissive and cold about it, genuinely seeming to not give two fucks if she was seeing someone else or not.

So in my opinion, Malloy was a gay cop closeted by the fact his TV series was made in the '70s and not today when the character might could've been written a lot more honestly.

R63 Slim and Jess on Laramie - that show, especially in the first season, just reeked of overt gayness. All you had to do was read between the lines. Very homoerotic friendship/relationship between Jess and Slim, and all the while both were uber macho cowboys. The boy they had living with them wasn't gay though - he was just Slim's little brother being raised by Slim as their parents died.

For the third season of Laramie NBC brought on Spring Byington as Mrs. Daisy Cooper - she was the forerunner of another Mrs. Cooper, Harriet on Batman - and Daisy was obviously around not just to look after Slim and Jess's son Mike, but to put to rest any idea that any hanky panky was going on in that bedroom Slim and Jess shared.

Certainly Linton Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights.

For me a lot of Dickens characters seem so: Mr. Pickwick - the confirmed bachelor, David Copperfield's Tommy Traddles and Great Expectations' Herbert Pocket. At the end of G.E. Pip, Clara and Herbert establish a menage a trois.
