Interesting article about celebrity gay gossip. Discusses Jake Gyllenhaal.

I absolutely agree.

I can vouch for one of them! ;)
--- Quote ---there's no reason to think that gay actors couldn't play a heterosexual romance convincingly.

And in fact, they obviously have done so, many many times!

For the record: I think Jake is 100% Straight. And yes, I do fantasize that he is Gay and comes to my house in a big limousine and wisks me away. But it is more likely that I'll win the lottery and monkeys will fly out my Arse!
Until I see a photo of him performing oral sex on a guy, he is not gay, but just Gay friendly in my book. And for a straight person to be Gay friendly, that is a good thing. And the more straight folks who are comfortable around gay people the better for all of us.

Well-said, David. I concur. But just a limousine? Not a chariot drawn by unicorns like in my fantasy?
For what it's worth, I hang out in about the "most gay" section of South Florida (after South Beach) fairly regularly. And I'm as straight as the day is long. I like to go there because it's lively, fun, and most of the men and women there are young and gorgeous. More than that, it has a soul. I feel like I'm part of something when I hang out there. Not at all like this infinite tropicopolis in which I live and work and everyone else walks around with hollow eyes and empty hearts. I swear, I feel like Donald Sutherland in The Invasion of the Body Snatchers sometimes here in Boca Raton - like I'm the only one still living inside my own body. I don't feel that way there. Not by a long shot.

I hate to come out with an opposing opinion, but here goes - I recall an English actor, cast as the romantic leading man in several films within the last 5 years (?) who came out as gay. (Of course his name totally escapes me at the moment). I also recall reading that he later said it was the worst career move he could've made. I also have to say I have not seen him in many films recently, certainly not to the degree he was at that time. So, I think it does matter to Hollywood execs in some instances.
Anyone recall who I am trying to remember?
EDIT: The actor I was trying to recall is Rupert Everett.

I for one hang out there a lot, and I'm straight, because you can find restaurants that serve low fat, real good and cheap meals, as opposed to other places where restaurants usually serve 100% spanish food, high in fat and all. Chueca also has the best stores of the city, cute coffee shops, and bars with great music. So, maybe that could be the reason why Jake hangs out in LA's gayest neighborhood, though I don't know if that where the best restaurants or bars are in LA.

Good point. Very good point. By the way, you know that Gael Garcia Bernal moved into our neighborhood , and has been seen a lot in West Hollywood frequenting gay coffee shops near Crescent and Santa Monica Blvd? So has Eduardo Verastegui. But it doesn't mean they're gay...just totally cool. Hey, once I saw Brad Pitt at an exclusive boy party in Laurel Canyon, with a male date. But a mutual friend who works with Pitt all the time says that Brad just loves his gay fan base. Because of that I am more certain that Brad is straight because he's so comfortable in his skin that he could do something like that.
