Was Andy Griffith gay?

Opie has two daddies.

That would explain Don Knotts and Jim Nabors.

No damned way, baby—and I was the beard who proved it!

No - I'm the dame to prove it!

He certainly was tolerant of Jim Nabors.

Andy caught measles or chickenpox as an adult and became sterile as a result. Hence the adopted kids.

R5. Keep my husband's name out of your fucking mouth

I'm pretty sure he liked the ladies. Not every seemingly perpetately single person is homosexual - my mom is hetero and has been single all my 45 years and a few more - but if AG was we'll never know the full truth because's dead.

Inability to father children and an interest in music? No one must be safe from your hyperactive gaydar.

Have you missed anyone?

perpetately

Oh dear. [italic]Perpetuately.[/italic]

Floyd, Don Knotts, Giomer? Jesus Christ this was more like Fire Island than Mayberry

Oh dear? No, dear.

It's "perpetually".

R11 - I thought you were making a joke about the way Barney always mispronounced words, e.g. therapetic. 😆

I think old Andy was a sex pest and tried to bed any female guest star on his show.

I also think I read this here so take it with a grain of salt.

It was the mumps. Ron Howard wrote about it in "The Boys," a memoir he co-authored with his brother. From an article about it:

[quote]“As our storytellers went, Andy was the most uninhibited,” the Apollo 13 director wrote. “I was mildly scandalized when he told everyone that he had been rendered sterile by a bout of the mumps in his teens, so he and his wife had adopted their children.”

[quote]While Howard did not specify his age in learning this information, he was young enough that his father Rance took the moment to clarify what Griffith had said.

[quote]“‘[Griffith’s] candor was laudable, but the very subject of sterility was a new one to my virgin ears,” he continued. “I sort of understood what Andy meant from the context of the story, but Dad preemptively took the opportunity to explain the concept in greater detail in the car ride home that day. He explained that lots of people of his and Andy’s generation came down with the mumps, but he was lucky not to have had a case as bad as Andy’s.”

no

Didn't he have a long term affair with actress who played Helen Crump?

r13 Agghh. Thank you. [crawls into a shame burrow]

R7 "Rock". You've had worst things in your mouth gurl .

No - I'm the dame to prove it!

Yes, r18.

Aunt bea was a fag hag

I always felt the need to protect my lady parts whenever I was close to Andy.

Next someone's going to post that Jim Neighbors was gay!

Are we missing anyone?

Howard Sprague, Aunt Bee. Howard Sprague.

No but have my doubts about Donna Knotts

No. I heard he had threesomes with The Fun Girls and was a regular at the brothel up in Mount Pilot.
