Every once in a while a film, TV show or commercial strikes a chord which just looks, sounds or seems somehow, Gay.
I was watching the old WWII film, Guadalcanal Diary, which you can enjoy for free here: Hulu - Guadalcanal Diary - Full Episodes streaming online for free
And I just got the impression several times that there might have been some Gay members of the production and or the cast.
The scene where the Marines are all lying on top of each other while aboard the transport ship in the first few minutes of the movie seemed a bit too, er, familiar to be dismissed as a display of the camaraderie of a band of brothers made closer because of their shared combat experiences.
It seemed Gay to me.
And not that I'm sayin there's anything wrong with it. I'm just pointing it out.
So, tell us what movies or tv shows and etc. seem somehow gay to you even though they weren't supposed to be about Gays. It's not SUPPOSED to be a Gay film, but... - Hardcore Politics |

Some are. Most aren't.
But in Hollywood, many actors and film crew personnel are. |

tell me that doesn't look gay | Gays copied that style, perhaps. Quote:
BELL BOTTOM TROUSERS - Commonly believed that the trousers were introduced in 1817 to permit men to roll them above the knee when washing down the decks, and to make it easier to remove them in a hurry when forced to abandon ship or when washed overboard. The trousers may be used as a life preserver by knotting the legs and swinging them over your head to fill the legs with air. Navy Historical Facts and Trivia | |

@ 3:55 The men are cuddling and nuzzling together under the blue Pacific sun, it seems. 
@ 4:01 Anthony Quinn (right), smiles as he rests his head on the solid midsection of a smiling William Bendix' (top). The blond crewcut on the left belongs to Richard Jaekel whose nickname in the film is, "Chicken." Quote:
4. chicken love it 92 up, 66 down hate it A term used to describe a young (generally gay) male; often used with connotations of twink.
(See also: chicken hawk)
Did you see the chicken Ryan brought to the party? That boy was like, seventeen!

@ 6:58 Here are two guys on the left, who have been dancing together for everyone's pleasure, as they are sailing to Guadalcanal, one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific War. A moment after this frame one jumped into the other's arms and they disappear somewhere offscreen. |
