Yesterday I blogged about my brother seeing some recently discovered home movies of my dad and his family -- and how one particular reel of my dad's twin brother with an "unknown friend" (as he's described by our cousin) made him raise his eyebrows. He wrote:
Is there any chance Uncle Kenny was gay? Has [our gay cousin] Kevin ever said anything on the subject? You might see why I'm asking when the DVD arrives. It's probably nothing -- I think there was a lot more chum-chum-chummy affection in those days -- but he seems awfully close to this rather hunky tall blond guy, and of course he was a lifelong bachelor. (And who owned the pink car anyway??)Well, I've now seen the clip -- and since everyone's long dead, I thought it would be fun to get your opinion on subject. Have a look and vote below!
I don't think so. Remember, that society at that time, was mortified/repulsed by the thought of homosexuality back then (evenmoreso that inter-racial marriage or abortion). If they were queer, they wouldn't have been so affectionate on camera. No matter what! I think they were just professional alcoholics. He-he!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure until they starting making out. That pretty much confirmed it for me... ;)
