nick adams gay rumours

[shelley.m.]

I don't feel that Elvis was aware that Nick was gay, at least not in the beginning of their friendship. Nick just followed Elvis like he did James Dean....for the publicity as he wasn't doing all that well on his own.

Well said,Diane.I believe Elvis "hired" Nick as an opening act,when Elvis toured in 1957.I could be wrong about the year tho'.It could have been even in late 1956.I have an article from an old movie magazine on Nick.

..but also very uncomfortable around gay women....guess that's normal.

Never had any issues there.. as long as they aren't the feminazi kind of lesbian!

Well, too bad Nick Adams brought being gay into such an opportunistic spotlight, but ah well..

Not to worry, everyone is different, some people no matter what they're sexual preferences, religion, race etc. are opportunistic and others aren't.

Sure gay men can be macho. I had a friend who was constantly chased by women....but they didn't know him as I did. Personally, he was macho in some ways and timid in others.

Agree totally!
I thought Rock Hudson was macho back then-and I knew he was at the least bi-sexual.
I still think he was macho today-he was a guy I would have liked to have as a friend-even though I am straight as an arrow.
You do not have to be Boy George in actions and behavoir to be gay or bi.

Agree totally. The only kind I cannot stand is the ones who play it up too much (all of the time in public, the limp wrist, prancing etc.) (in the women's case...butchy and aggressive in manner....touchy feely) and those who try to come on to you but that can be said of straight people too.

Well so many don't even suspect it - it's very rare someone might get a vague idea. They usually think my partner is my father. It's easier to be a Playboy-magazine owner showing yourself with younger ladies.

No, I don't sneak up on people.. it remains to be seen how essential the male butt is for the heterosexual woman. As for gays - it differs from person to person.

IMO Elvis was so Naive about stuff like that. Back in the 50's the gay lifesyle was very closeted. I dought very seriously that Nick & Elvis ever "Did the Deed' And, if Elvis even knew what being Gay was? I'm not saying he wasn't intellegent (he was) It's just out of the Realm of possibility for Elvis to like men.
