Wow Joey that's a very stereotypical cliched view. What does a guys looks have to do with his taste in movies?

That's the point, JohnBoy. Brendan was not the guy in his picture. He was a fat, middle-aged queen who liked Julie Andrews and 1940s movies and 1950s hunks. (And I am speaking as a middle-queen myself.)

And DarkAngel, you know eggggs-zackly what and who I mean. There were SEVERAL posters on BWW at that time claiming to be "hotties" who turned out not to be as hot as their avatars.

Some may still be here, mais oui? ;-}

You would even stoop so low as to pimp out your own three sons, just to prove me wrong?

Have you no shame, man? ;-}

Many, many pre-Stonewall-era queens hated Mommie Dearest, due to their entrenched love for Joan Crawford and their feeling that Christina was unfairly getting revenge. The gay audience for the movie was mostly from the post-Stonewall generation, who had no particular identification with Joan Crawford or any of the other old-school Hollywood movie queens.

Brendan was intimately aware of all of them, plus the 1950s hunks and 1960s camp movies, which obviated against the story of his life as he presented it.

The point is that "young queens" are not into the things that Brendan was into, which were typical of the 55+ generation.

Joey I don't know exactly what and who you mean and I'm getting sick and tired of your accusations.
