King of the Gays?

Not being a fan, I know little about Barbra Streisand and her personal life. I happened upon an old magazine, where it stated that her son, Jason Gould, is gay. Now, if you're Barbra Streisand's son, and you're gay, doesn't that make you King of the Gay's or something equally as grand? Just wondering.

Hmm...I was thinking, oh, what's his name? Boy George was King of the Gays. Maybe I'm wrong.

Musto is the KING.
He even has a man impersonating him in Newsical. He is the KING of the gay icons.

Corine - with all due respect, you're talking about a world that still holds Charles Nelson Reilly, Gore Vidal, Stephen Sondheim, Ian McKellan, Barney Frank and David Geffen. I understand you have a very emotional response to Ms. Musto, but really, a little perspective and respect, if you please

Well, coughs.
Musto is a King in every sense of the word.
The Musto number was very cute yesterday. And it was fun to see Musto's reaction.
He is a wonderful man.
Gerard Alessandrini is my King of choice and then there is always Harvey. You are all so faboo. It is hard! Updated On: 3/3/05 at 09:23 PM

Having never met the man, I would never question your judgement of his wonderfulness. But, all things being equal, he is barely a Lady in Waiting at this point.

I know who Gerard Alessandrini is, by what's a Musto? No clue.

I amazed that the article I read didn't even mention it. That's a good thing, of course.

There are many people I'd think of as King (or Queen) of the Gays.

I read an interview with Liza Minnelli once where she remarked that one of the most difficult things about being her was constantly being confronted by men dressed as her mother.

Michael Musto is a columnist for the Village Voice.

I think Barbra herself has balls big enough to be King of the Gays.

Personally, if I were to vote, I'd go with Lily Tomlin - or rather, Jane Wagner, by extension.

Oh, Michael Musto. Is he such an icon that he's known only by one name? I wouldn't call him king of anything. But that's just me.

"I wouldn't call him king of anything. But that's just me."

It's not just you, Feodor - you're anything but alone

interesting that two of the biggest gay icons of the 20th century: CHER and BARBRA STREISAND wound up having gay children.
i knew that jason was gay but had no idea he was positive. Updated On: 3/3/05 at 11:17 PM

Marquise, I love The 5th Dimension. LOVE THEM!!!!!

[Marquise]

Posted: 3/4/05 at 12:03am

I LOVE THEM TO!!! THEY ARE ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GROUPS!
THEY DON'T GET THE RECOGNITION OF THE BEATLES OR OTHER '60s GROUPS. I THINK THEY'RE SO UNDERRATED.

DGrant--where has Jason been open about HIV?

As far as I know that's a rumor that appeared in tabloids but has never been confirmed by Jason, Barbra or Elliot.

Do you know that he's been "open" for sure or were you speaking out of turn?

That's still just press reporting, DGrant! You can't fool us!

That's a reference to the outing in the tabloids.

A letter to the editor castigated them for such vicious tactics.

See below.

We should let people discuss medical issues in their own time.
Scroll down to the letter "Jason was outed"
