I used to love Mr Magoo when I was a little boy. He's a sweet, lovable loner. He personifies everyone's eccentric, dithery, old maiden-aunt, gay uncle. Like so many gay men of a certain age, he appears to be quite well off, but there's never any mention of a lady friend to share his life with him. Yep, for my money, Magoo's one of the girls!  :D

Mighty Mouse is the original Muscle Mary Mouse! He's courageous, valiant and noble. He's over the top! He was my hero, when I was a little boy. The charisma is absolutley dripping off this guy (um, mouse). His egocentricity knows no bounds. He's too butch for words. Even his voice is too deep to be believable (made my gaydar go off). He always got my heart thumping whenever he flashed across the screen at the Saturday matinee, declaring, "Here I come to save the day!"

What a mouse!  :D


And I won't even mention the mascara!  ::)

How about Speedy Gonzalez and Slowpoke Rodriguez? I thought for a while they might be gay since Speedy Gonzalez is always taking Slowpoke out of trouble but they're cousins. Kissing cousins perhaps?  ;D

Good one, David.  Why are there so many gay cartoon rodents?


Then there's Yosemite Sam:  could he be one of those cowboys who are "frequently, secretly fond of each other"?

I think Porky was a closet case. He hung out with Petunia but had a secret romance going with Bugs Bunny, didn't he?
