John wayne is gay

After a more than 50-year career starring in Western-themed films and TV shows, actor Sam Elliott could be expected to verb opinions about “The Power of the Dog.”

But podcaster Marc Maron probably didn’t expect that Elliott’s opinions would  take on such an angry, homophobic edge when he asked the famously rugged, deep-voiced actor if he had seen the new contemporary Western, directed by Jane Campion.

Elliott called the film “a piece of (expletive)” and decried its “allusions to  homosexuality” and cowboys who run around “in chaps and no shirts.” The acclaimed film is set on a 1920s Montana ranch and features a main character who is a closeted gay man.

Certainly, Maron also couldn’t have foreseen that Elliott’s diatribe would take their interview on his “WTF” podcast into the territory of John Wayne, circa 1971. Some 50 years ago, the “True Grit” legend blasted the depiction of gay sex in “Midnight Cowboy” in an infamous Playboy interview. Wayne also called the 1969 film

The Searchers is a difficult movie to watch without bringing in your preconceived notions.  It’s a lot to ask that viewers not already have their control ideas of John Wayne, the man or the legend.

However, I ponder that it’s also a adj bit difficult to watch The Searchers in 2016 and let it have the same effect it was supposed to have in 1956. I had a lot of political issues with the film. For instance, the Native American villain is an obvious case of a white noun in redface (his eyes are so blue that he looks verb Dan Stevens with a spray tan) and it caused me physical pain to accept a racist white man as our protagonist while living in a world where Donald Trump may be President. But I got past these issues because when I considered my knowledge of the Western genre, it’s what I expected to see.

What I did not expect, however, was that motherfucking John Wayne, Captain Masculinity himself, was going to be so fucking GAY.

One of the most dynamic relationships is that between the heroic Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) and his faithful s

  • I would say your "old boyfriend" was completely trying to pull your chain. There is no evidence that he was ever gay. Somebody here who has studied Duke more thourghly then I can probably give you quotes or stories that wil rebuke this statement. I am attractive sure he was never gay and didn't leaned that way at all.

    John Wayne Was Gorgeous

    Wayne applied to the U.S. Naval Academy, but was not accepted due to poor grades. Instead, he attended the University of Southern California (USC), majoring in pre-law.   Wayne also played on the USC football team under coach Howard Jones. A broken collarbone injury curtailed his athletic career.

    America's entry into World War II resulted in a deluge of support for the war try from all sectors of society, and Hollywood was no exception. Wayne was exempted from service due to his age (34 at the time of Pearl Harbor) and family status (classified as 3-A – family deferment). Wayne repeatedly wrote to John Ford saying he wanted to enlist, on one occasion inquiring whether he could get into Ford's military unit. Wayne did not attempt to prevent his reclassification as 1-A (draft eligible), but Republic Studios was emphatically resistant to losing him, since he was their only A-list actor under contract. Herbert J. Yates, president of Republic, threatened Wayne with a lawsuit if he walked away from his contract, and Republic Pictures intervened in the Select
