Ok, which one(s) of you was in a gay bar in Los Angeles?

I won't say inappropriate, but to be honest I'm not sure what the big deal is about the ancient untitilating tales of old queens possibly or possibly not having actually crossed paths with
Montgomery Clift or Sandy Koufax. Clift's sexuality isn't exactly a newsflash--I guess I'm not surprised, but how sad that someone would think that passing up a chance to have sex with a movie
star was a big mistake in life. I don't know how long the rumors might have been around, but I think there was a not-so-big brouhaha 10 or 15 years ago about Koufax's alleged interest men.
I guess my point is... beware of star-struck old men flapping their gums at parties.... So glad we've gotten away from all that & wish Clift if not Koufax could have lived in a time of less fear
about being authentic.
"A Hollywood coffee shop that catered exclusively to homosexuals..."
Exclusively? Was there a bouncer with gaydar?
