Helen Hunt, if you believe that story about how she once walked in on then-hubby Hank Azaria getting head from RIchard Kind.

Jillie Mack

Wait R8... Wut???

Hank Azaria? The hunky gorgeous Hank Azaria... Getting blown by that troll Richard Kind?? Why would he have subjected himself to that uggo when he could've landed any cute twink or hot hunk he wanted?

I only know what I read, R10. Maybe Kind has extraordinary oral gifts?

Tammy Faye Bakker, when she caught Jim in the locked sauna with young "preacher helpers" at the height of their success. Him fucking around with the young help was one of the main reasons she got hooked on pills.

Also, DVF, but everyone knows about Barry Diller.

Mary Todd Lincoln.

Cindy Crawford married to George's boyfriend Rande.

Starr Jones

Nancy Mitford.

Elton John's wife, Beate.

Linda (Mrs. Cole) Porter

DL icon Vivian Vance - John Dodds.

Apparently he kept up the lifestyle during their marriage and it was a point of contention between them. He also had a longtime partner in San Francisco, whom he returned to after Viv's death.

On some level, I think she saw a gay man as less threatening, having endured a long-term abusive marriage.

Lena Horne. But that was an deliberate arrangement.

Maura Tierney

Dyan Cannon & Vivien Leigh/Joan Plowright, upon marrying Cary Grant and Laurence Olivier, respectively.

Michelle Bachmann.

Oh, and lest we forget Renee Zellweger to Kenny Chesney.

Jean Stapleton was married to the director of a summer stock theater in Pennsylvania for 23 years until his death. She appeared in many of his musical comedy productions, even after becoming famous on All in the Family.

Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes own this thread.

Lee Raziwill, to Herb Ritts. A friend asked Jackie On Assistance at the wedding reception if she thought Herb was gay; Jackie replied that she never thought he wasn't gay.

^^ You mean Herb Ross.

R28, of course...Freudian slip.

My ex, god bless her paranoid psychotic soul.

Iman.

Carrie Fisher.

Kellyanne Conjob's niece who married Pious Pence's nephew.

Don't know their names, don't care.

Jim McGreevey's ex-wives

Angela Lansbury and Richard Cromwell. I believe I read somewhere that she had to tell him two things: that he was gay and, most devastatingly, that he was no actor.

The ex wives of some of our very own elder gays gays here.

Dame Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge

LOL that pic at R41

He so obviously considers Angela to be positively divine.

Phyllis Diller harried Rip Taylor??!!

* married, of course, though harried works too.

—R50

How many of these women are gay themselves?

Mrs. Bobby Sherman #1

Mrs. Bobby Sherman #2

I don't know their names but fun fact I do know the first wife went on to marry Bobby's Here Come The Brides co-star David Soul.

The man beaming at Angela Lansbury isn't Richard Cromwell.

Elizabeth Taylor.

The late Mrs. Raymond Burr.

Priyanka Chopra

Phyllis Gates Hudson

Not married officially but even in private Freddie Mercury called Mary Austin "my wife". Even to his bewildered gay friends.

Renata Blauel was married to Elton John

I see this all the time in LA...Like WTF? Bitch can't you see your husband is gay?

Vanessa Redgrave

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters Tebow

R60 - for sure he paid her.

What's up with Viv's crazy eyes at r19?!

Kim Kardashian West

Anne of Denmark, Isabella of France and every Roman Empress.

Coral Browne

"Fran Drescher was married for 20 years; her husband came out after their divorce."

More important: he came out to her before the marriage

Julann Wright married Merv Griffin

Diane Sawyer

Actually, Vanessa Redgrave twice--first to Tony Richardson and then to gorgeous Franco Nero. And she was also with yummy Timothy Dalton for a long while.

The Widow Angelil

About a trillion women in history.

Elsa Lanchester, the 'Bride of Frankenstein,' married Charles Laughton, the 'Hunchback of Notre Dame.'

R34, Lisa Cunt Whelchel is not one Of my faves .

A lot of these men were bisexual not gay.

r81, I never heard Franco Nero was gay

Mrs. Robert Reed

Maybe they had large penises and as little as the women got, they figured it was better than none at all or all the time with a smaller one.

Jann Winner’s ex-wife

^Wenner

Diane Von Furstenberg married Barry Diller, and her first husband was bi

Kris Jenner

r89, pretty much zero women choose their husbands based on dick size alone. Man, gay men know nothing about women.

Sunny Von Bulow

R94 - maybe there are women who get off on having gay husbands? Like they find it erotic or something?

It takes all kinds.

Um, they usually marry these guys not knowing they're gay.

R97 - I really don't think all these women were THAT naive. I knew something was up after my first night with my ex and how he avoided the bedroom or weekends like he avoided his ex wife sleeping with him. Later all his co-workers confirmed it but he would gush over Rafa Nadal and even handsome men in paintings at galleries. What's true is that I was 42 so....

R94 Right , bank account balance size is all that matters to most hetero women.

Mrs. Adam Schiff

Samantha Stevens

Mrs Oscar Wilde

Jeanette MacDonald and her husband Gene Raymond.

Sammy Jo Carrington

Donna McKechnie and Michael Bennett. Then again she knew he was gay. They worked so wonderfully together and had instant best friend rapport. Maybe early in their friendship in the 60s there may have been some fooling around but I think by the time of A CHORUS LINE, any sexual activity was long gone. And lucky for Donna. I have no doubt they truly loved each other.

Sylvia Fine - Danny Kaye

Mrs Henry Guettel

R94, why does this have to be explained over and over?

Women (some women) like some gay men because they share a lot of the same interests. The end.

R108 - ha ha you will kill me but it is one thing to like, even love someone who can only like or love you like a sister. Women have sexual needs so that just can't work on every level unless the poor guy goes against his instincts and I mean, if you love him, why would you want to torture the poor fellow? I would want any man I cared for to be at one with himself and live happily as he was meant to live. You don't want to make someone you care about unhappy after all.

R108 - remember how Mary Austin said that because she loved Freddie she was happy to see him become fulfilled living as a gay man? She even said it was wonderful to watch him grow into who he was meant to be.

Has Amanda Blake been mentioned? Sad ending for her.

All the major female executives at Simon and Schuster.

Marie Osmond

Kathie Lee Gifford

Mrs Lindsay Graham...

I am a woman. How do I find a gay male couple who wanna do a threesome? Just to try it once..

Carson McCullers. Her union with Reeves McCullers was truly a strange one. He was a lot better looking than her and seemed like a normal human being (at least until he hooked up with Carson), whereas she was regarded an an oddball. They married and he held jobs while she worked on her stories and novel. She later became the breadwinner when she became a famous writer. He has aspirations to become a writer too, but it came to nothing. As it turns out they both were gay. Maybe that's why he was attracted to the homely Carson; she dressed in men's clothing had a strong masculine component, declaring 'I was born a man." She had violent "crushes' on other women but it's doubtful she had sex with any of them because her feelings were rarely reciprocated and her sexuality was immature to say the least. She seemed stuck at age 12, the age of her character Frankie Adams in "The Member of the Wedding." As for Reeves he sank more and more into alcoholism (she was a raging alcoholic, too) as she treated him like an servant, an inferior. And he had affairs with men. One of his lovers was Truman Capote. Eventually, Reeves committed suicide; at his funeral Capote moaned "My youth is gone", although he was only 29. Tennessee Williams said Reeves died due to his "great love for Carson (she had left him once again; they'd divorced but remarried)" but I think he died due to being a closeted gay man married to demanding, alcoholic woman. Truman Capote said it "there was nothing wrong with Reeves except Carson."

R128, no one wants to have a threesome with you. Certainly not gay men, nor straight men who are probably repulsed by you

[quote]I am a woman. How do I find a gay male couple who wanna do a threesome? Just to try it once..

Ew.

R130 - doubt straight men are as repulsed by a woman as by gays. Just saying.

Elsa Lanchester. She was married to the very gay Charles Laughton. But their marriage endured and lasted until he died.

R132, she (or "she") was asking about gay men

R128, this is a place where they defend Liza Minnelli's "heterosexuality." I suggest you go elsewhere.

r135 and whatsh sho wrong about that???

R130 & R131 = reason for homophobia

Yo mama.

Tony Perkins' wife.

Jan Weinners ex wife.Barry

Patricia Kennedy Lawford

Dina Manzo

My ex-wife, who called me a fucking homosexual when I came out and then bore a raging queen for a son with her next husband. Karma.

Angela Lansbury, her first hubby.

R149, Good one!

Margaret Whiting and her husband, Jack Wrangler.

Before they became a couple, the story goes, he told Whiting he was gay. She reportedly replied, "Only around the edges, dear."

Stephanie Lowe (wife of Phillip Schofield)

R151, He'd been starring in gay porn movies for years.

R51 One of the most head-scratching matches in history. Apparently she wasn't too thrilled when Jack felt the call of the dick, which he did, often.

Hell, for a sexy Persian macho rock star like Freddie Mercury, I would've put up with it too like Mary did. Fuck that...where else are you gonna EVER find a man that besides being a queen, treats you like one and has the voice and eyes of an angel?

Janet Gaynor, although she was gay too.

Alaina Reed (Rose on 227). She married a (gay) actor who was also on the show, and then he died of complications from AIDS.

Speaking of Sondra at r157:

Ms. Trey Gowdy

bride of André Bauer

Mrs. Adam Schiff

dozens & dozens of women married to Republican politicians
