Gosh, I was stunned when I realized that people actually hadn't read 
the interview transcript...she said she always thought of DD as gay, 
but then she wrote a note to the scriptwriter at the movies and 
said "DD is gay."

As for him not flouncing around or camping it up......there's certainly 
a percentage of the lesbian/gay male community who act in what would be 
considered stereotypical ways, but there are a ton who do not.

I think many of us smiled when we said "THAT's where the fashion sense 
came from." I do love those costumes in the movies, too! 

But men don't have to be gay to dress flamboyantly (someone made that 
comment on the list).

One of my favorite movies (because I am a rank sentimentalist) is the 
version of the Scarlet Pimpernel where Sir Percy Blakney as the most 
INCREDIBLY beautiful outfits...a major fop...and an unambiguously 
heterosexual one, as well. Anyone else seen that (since this is off 
topic chatter).
