Dolly Parton: Why does Datalounge think she's a dyke?

She's seen more with her butch lady best friend, with whom she's admitted to sharing a bed, than she is with her husband. I can't think why people make assumptions, OP...

No, just no, not the only place; and e.g. good bit of stories about her out there about having had sex with women, e.g. in the Playboy Mansion, doesn't make one a lesbian, but still. And she grew up in a time when there was much less questioning of sexuality and mental health, and celebrities were much more protected and before the transparency of the internet. Also, today people are much more critical of the sexuality of younger people and celebs than about former and old ones, also very hard on dl.

ev body in the business knows .....but she is much loved.

It’s only here I’ve the rumors...

I’ve read blind items about her having an eating disorder, but not about eating carpet.

"It’s only here I’ve the rumors..."

We can't help it if you don't get out more.

[Quote] It’s only here I’ve the rumors...

The rumors or the vapors?

I'll never tell.

The enormous joke-sized breasts.

I heard about it on DListed, and even before then.

It doesn’t make a difference. Everyone loves Dolly.

Emmylou Harris pings to high heaven anyway. That I got.

Dolly Parton is 74 years old meaning that she was born and raised at a time when coming out as gay was taboo - and when she went into show business and became ultra famous, coming out became double taboo. We've all heard the rumors about Dolly being gay and don't expect her to come out anytime soon if at all. That show business closet is firmly locked - and it's all about image.

A number of years ago I read the sizzling memoir by Angela Bowie (David Bowie's first wife) and she pretty much spilled it all including people in show business who are actually gay - and Dolly Parton was one of the celebrities that she outed. It's probably the worst kept secret in Hollywood - just about everyone knows it but the media won't touch it.

I tended to mostly believe her story that her husband likes to stay out of the spotlight. Maybe because, like most women, I suspected she wasn’t interested in sex.

The Bonnie Mace story didn't help (or maybe it did).

r12 = Stephen Fry

Stephen What? I don’t get it.

She been with the same lady for many many yrs, her 'assistant'.....

she is beloved and folks leave her alone,

major dyke tho yes

She fucked Jolene.

Well, sad to say, you're an idiot, R10. Lou has been married three times (and, yes, all three times to men) and is a DEFINITE cock hound. Believe me, I've tried.

How many times has Meredith Baxter Birney been married?

Karen Carpenter, ONJ, Helen Reddy... they ping.

Dolly doesn’t. Not that that means it’s not true.

Hard to believe anyone thinks she is str8...do ur homework dears

Seriously, never a rumor about her with other men, just this one mysterious Carl whom she was never seen with. there is no harm/foul that she is, just that we are over all this BS and just admit you are gay.

Admit? I prefer Reveal.

Check out the thread on L Chat if anyone has any doubt.

You can't hide your sexuality. A tiny bit of research and you know. All the famous female singers are lesbians. I have no idea why. Maybe straight women are too lazy. Apparently, it takes a lot of sacrifice. The nervousness and sense if not belonging seems to propel gays to the top in singing, acting, sports...

LChat believe EVERY woman just needs to have a bad experience with a man and she’ll join their team.

god bless her, we love lezzys like dolly !!!!

The Dolly thread on L Chat put together every bit of info out there about the possibility of Dolly being a lesbian. It has convinced skeptics.

Do they have a thread on Tammy Wynette?

I have not seen one.

[quote] You can't hide your sexuality. A tiny bit of research and you know. All the famous female singers are lesbians. I have no idea why.

Just like all the very best actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood until now. They're the ones with the drive and the talent. The only woman you can't attach to another woman ever was Liz Taylor and she was a distaster.

" Maybe because, like most women, I suspected she wasn’t interested in sex."

It's too bad Donald Trump ruined the "Sad" comeback, because this is sad.

Like, for real, y'all!

Sorry, I'm having a Britney moment.

Dolly and Judy were photographed going to a lesbian club years ago.

Does Dolly somehow make it up to Judy everytime there is an article out with Dolly promoting her marriage/beard?

If you're a big Dolly fan, and buy me a whiskey, I'll let you smell my finger.

I don’t think she’s a DYKE, but I’d believe she’s a lesbian.

I'D EAT HER OUT.

I thought her fondness for wall-to-wall carpet was a white trash thing.

Just heard on NPR she gave a million dollars to Vanderbilt Hospital, she had a relationship with a doctor there after being treated for a car accident, and it’s lead to a potential vaccine for Covid-19!

Because on DataLounge, everyone is gay.
