[100gayicons]

Tab Hunter and James Dean were two of Warner Brothers biggest stars during the mid-1950s.

Hunter was gay and even discretely dated fellow actor Tony Perkins. Once he left mainstream Hollywood, he lived an open (but not public) gay life with his partner Allan Glaser. Hunter “came out” in his 2005 autobiography. He and Glaser married in 2013.

Although James Dean only made three movies before his tragic death. He is a try Hollywood icon. There have been rumors that he was gay or bisexual. The most convincing evidence is from Elizabeth comments in 2000: “All of my life I’ve spent a lot of time with gay men... Montgomery Clift, Rock Hudson, Jimmy Dean...”

Cette réflextion est rrés intéressante.

Ce qui suit est une copie d'un article écrit par l'écrivain espagnol Sebastián Rodríguez Vilar et publiée dans un journal espagnol . Il ne faut pas beaucoup d'imagination pour extrapoler le message au reste de l'Europe - et éventuellement, au reste du monde. Ce n'est guère de la propagande, les faits parlent d'eux-mêmes. A méditer ....

Par Sébastien Vilar Rodrigez

Je marchais dans la rue à Barcelone, et soudain je découvrais une terrible vérité - L'Europe est morte à Auschwitz... Nous avons tué six millions de Juifs et nous les avons remplacés par 20 millions de musulmans.

À Auschwitz, nous avons brûlé une culture, la pensée, la créativité, le talent. Nous avons détruit le peuple élu, véritablement choisi, car ils ont produit des gens formidables et merveilleux qui ont changé le monde.

La contribution de ce peuple se fait sentir dans tous les domaines de la vie : science, art, commerce international, et surtout, comme la conscience du monde. Ce sont les gens que nous avons brûlés.

Sous prétexte de tolérance et parce que nous voulions prouver à nous-mêmes que nous avons été guéris de la maladie du racisme, nous avons ouvert nos portes à 20 millions de musulmans qui nous ont apporté la stupidité et l'ignorance, l'extrémisme religieux et le manque de tolérance, la criminalité et la pauvreté, due à un manque de volonté de travailler et de soutenir leurs familles avec fierté.

Ils ont fait sauter nos trains et ont transformé nos belles villes espagnoles dans le tiers monde, noyé tout dans la crasse et la criminalité.

Enfermés dans les appartements qu'ils reçoivent gratuitement du gouvernement, ils planifient d'assassiner et de détruire leurs hôtes naïfs.

Ainsi, dans notre misère, nous avons échangé la culture pour de la haine fanatique; le savoir-faire créatif pour des compétences destructrices; l'intelligence pour le retour en arrière et la superstition.

Quelle terrible erreur a été faite par la misérable Europe.. .

Les Juifs ne font pas la promotion du lavage de cerveau des enfants dans les camps de formation militaire.

Ils ne leur apprennent pas à se faire exploser et à causer le maximum de mort de Juifs et d'autres non-musulmans.

Les Juifs ne détournent pas des avions, ne tuent pas les athlètes lors des Jeux olympiques, et ne se font pas exploser dans un restaurant allemand.

Il n'y a pas un seul Juif qui a détruit une église.

Il n'y a pas un seul Juif qui proteste en tuant des gens.Les Juifs ne font pas de trafic d'esclaves, n'ont pas de dirigeants qui appellent au Jihad et à la mort

de tous les infidèles.

Peut-être les musulmans du monde devraient considérer à investir plus dans l'enseignement ordinaire et moins à blâmer les Juifs pour tous leurs problèmes.

Les musulmans doivent demander «ce qu'ils peuvent faire pour l'humanité » avant d'exiger que l'humanité les respecte.

Indépendamment de vos sentiments à propos de la crise entre Israël et les Palestiniens et les voisins arabes; même si vous croyez qu'il y a plus de culpabilité de la part d 'Israël, les deux phrases suivantes disent vraiment tout :

«Si les Arabes déposaient les armes aujourd'hui, il n'y aurait plus de violence. Si les Juifs déposaient leurs armes aujourd'hui, il n’y aurait plus d' Israël.»

Benjamin Netanyahu

Le général Eisenhower nous a averti : c'est un fait historique.

Lorsque le commandant suprême des Forces alliées, le général Dwight Eisenhower a trouvé les victimes des camps de la mort, il a ordonné de prendre toutes les photographies possibles du peuple allemand, des villages environnants; de leur faire visiter les camps et même enterrer les morts.

Il a fait cela parce qu'il a dit des mots à cet effet :

«Rassemblez tous les dossiers et documents maintenant - saisissez les films - faites parler les témoins - parce que quelque part sur la route de l'histoire quelques bâtards vont se lever et dire que cela n'est jamais arrivé..»

Récemment, le Royaume-Uni a débattu pour savoir s'il fallait supprimer la Shoah dans son cursus scolaire, car il «offense» la population musulmane qui affirme que cela n'a jamais eu lieu.

Sellam Mickael Elie, [23-Oct-22 8:18 AM]

Ce n'est pas encore supprimé... Cependant, c'est un signe effrayant de la peur qui paralyse le monde et combien il est facile pour chaque pays d'être paralysé par elle.

Cela fait plus de 60 ans après que la Seconde Guerre mondiale a pris fin en Europe..

Ce courriel est envoyé comme une chaîne commémorative, en souvenir des 6 millions de juifs, 20 millions de Russes, 10 millions de chrétiens, et 1900 prêtres catholiques «assassinés, violés, brûlés, affamés, battus, humiliés et ont servi de cobayes, tandis que le peuple allemand a regardé ailleur.

Maintenant, plus que jamais, avec l'Iran, entre autres, revendiquant que l'Holocauste est «un mythe», il est impératif de s'assurer que le monde n'oublie jamais.

Ce courriel est destiné à atteindre 400 millions de personnes... Soyez un maillon dans la chaîne de mémoire et aidez à distribuer ce message à travers le monde.

Combien d'années faudra-il avant que l'attaque du World Trade Center «n'ait jamais eu lieu» parce qu'elle offense les musulmans des États-Unis?

Ne vous contentez pas de supprimer ce message...... cela ne prendra que quelques minutes pour le faire passer.

MY LONG HAPPYISH SAD RANT/ NETFLIX RECCOMENDATION

For the record I’ll probably never get over this. Tab Hunter was the last really of my Golden Hollywood Era favorites. Many of you may not know this but like I’m obsessed with Old Hollywood and classic movies. I always figured one day I’d get to meet him or at least get around to sending him a letter and getting an autograph. But as always my procrastination has stolen another moment from me. I cannot even explain how much I love his documentary. The depth of Old Hollywood, the people and relationships, all of it is so amazing. And if you haven’t seen the documentary you should, it’s on Netflix and it’s amazing. But his story is just an amazing one. The documentary mostly centers around him struggling with his sexuality in the 1950s as a golden age movie star. And there are two romances in the documentary that particularly touch my heart. His romance with Anthony Perkins (Norman Bates from Psycho) stings. I mean the realness of these two people how they loved in secret and the documentary doesn’t even begin to go into the depth of how amazing this relationships was, his interviews outside or the book are so much better in my opinion as Tab reveals so much more of his feelings in words than on film. In the documentary he mostly focuses on the struggles and pitfalls of the relationship, but the novel and interviews he’s far more positive on just what he loved about Tony, and the whole thing is better than most YA novels, fanfics, or the plots we all make up I swear to you. But the other great love story is of Tab and the man he ended up with, his husband Allan (now the documentary doesn’t focus too much on their relationship in my opinion but there’s that privacy and beauty of comfort in that relationship, that ease and love and ability to finally be himself in his older years that just strikes me and that love is so less in need of explanation and is beautiful) but seriously everyone needs to watch it. But I still can’t believe that Allan replied to my comment on Facebook. Tab passed away on Sunday three days before his 87th birthday, and it just didn’t seem fair and I was going to mark his birthday regardless but I saw the post on his page, same way I found out he had passed away (which stopped me in my tracks my heart really did drop cause I’m super active on the page cause big fan of course) but I had also been thinking all throughout the day and days before of how sudden it was and how happy Tab was at the end of his life and how Allan made him happy. It seemed cruel first that he didn’t get to make it to 87, and it also seemed terrible that Allan (also Harlow Tab’s horse who he adored) was going to be without him. But also that happiness that he got to have those 35 years where he was happy and in love with someone I know cared about him and who he loved especially after watching the documentary. And I felt the need to say it cause I had such a fondness for Tab after watching the documentary and with it had a fondness for Allan cause he made Tab so happy, and I wanted to just say it in case Allan happened to see it, let him know that I saw it I guess. Saw how happy he made Tab and saw that Allan loved him. So I commented it. But never did I think I’d get a reply. One cause a ton of people are commenting condolences. Two no one else was getting a response. Three it’s terrible time at most it might get a look at awhile from now or a glance since he’s grieving and there’s an outpouring of messages. So seeing his reply I was stunned and happy. Not because I was noticed by someone I admire (though honestly I was a little), but mostly cause I’m glad he saw that, glad I gave some reaffirmation of that. And I’m glad that I think it meant something to him cause it’s been 4 days since Tab passed and this is the first reply to a condolence or message of any kind (there have been postings of articles and a picture but no interaction) but this was response to a comment and I’m glad he saw it and even more happy if it gave Allan something (as I think it did judging by his reply) because he gave Tab so much and I adored Tab and Allan also gave me a lot in my mind producing the documentary, getting Tab to share his story, and making Tab happy. I don’t even know I just felt like sharing this cause it made me happy and I think everyone should really watch the documentary to be honest.

Roy Scherer, Jr. and Andrew Kelm had a lot in common. They had abusive fathers; their parents marriages ended in divorce; and they spent their formative years living with their mothers. After serving time in the military (Andrew in the Coast Guard, Roy in the Navy) they found their way to Hollywood.

They both became clients of Henry Willson, a talent agent who specialized in making young good looking men into movie stars. Willson always gave his male clients masculine and memorable stage names - Roy became Rock Hudson (and eventually a major star for Universal) and Andrew became Tab Hunter, a future Warner Brothers star. And Rock and Tab both had a secret that could destroy their careers - they were gay.

Tab’s mother was religious and she sent him and his brother to a catholic school. Athletic, Tab developed a love of figure skating, and competed in both singles and pairs. But it was his love of horses that eventually led to an acting career.

Tab was working at a Southern California stable when a crew arrived to take photos of actress Ann Blythe. Actor (later agent) Dick Clayton was on hand and noticed young Andrew and asked him if he ever considered being an actor. Boy, that sounds like a pickup line! A few years later, after Tab’s stint in the Coast Guard, Tab met Clayton again in New York and Clayton immediately began introducing him to people in show business.

That eventual led to a meeting with Henry Willson, an agent with a reputation for making young men into movie stars (among other things he made some of those men do).

Hunter progressed quickly at Warner. He had his first minor role in 1950 (The Lawless) and by 1954 he was the a leading man (Return to Treasure Island) with Linda Darnell as his love interest. Warner Brothers notice his potential in and offered him a contract. He had a hit with his next film too - “Battle Cry” about marines fighting in the Pacific.

But after 4 films with various studios, he became unhappy with Henry Willson and decided to change agents. That would have its consequences.

Meanwhile agent Henry Willson has a big problem. A scandal magazine threaten to publish an article revealing that his star client Rock Hudson was gay. Willson made a deal with the magazine - he would give them dirt on two other actors in exchange for burning the Hudson story. The first was Rory Calhoun who had an arrest record and spent time in a Juvenal prison. Calhoun’s on screen persona was that of a tough guy, so the article just help to prop up his image.

The other actor thrown under the bus was his former client Tab Hunter. In 1950 Hunter had attended a “pajama party for men only” that was raided by the police. Hunter was arrested (along with 20 other young men) and briefly detained. While this could have ended Hunter’s budding career - he was sparred. In fact, only a few months later he was named a promising young new comer in a national poll.

The studio would regularly send him on on public dates with his costars and fabricate sham resonances with rising young starlets.

Over the next few years, while continuing to star in hit films, Hunter experimented with singing and had a #1 record with “Young Love” in 1957. Based on its success, Warner Brothers actually creates a new division (Warner Bros Records) for him to release more albums. They even bought the rights to the Broadway musical “Damn Yankee” for him to star in the film version (1958).

But what if his love life?

In the 1950s Hunter met Olympic figure skater Ronnie Roberts and they started a long term relationship. Hunter, who always loved skating, sponsored Roberts training (athletes then performed under strict amateur guideline).

They spent spent as much time as possible together - once driving cross-country together so Robbiecould attend training in Lake Placid, NY. Hunter became friends with Roberts family too. But the skating world resented Hunter’s presence are events. And this began affecting Roberts scores. The two eventually parted but remain friends.

“I was infatuated with Ronnie.... To most folks, Ronnie and I were good buddies, sharing the ice. Few people considered what else we were sharing.”

Hunter next serious relationship was with fellow actor Anthony Perkins.

“I had a wonderful relationship with him,” Hunter said.

They met at the pool at the Chateau Marmont, and Hunter was immediately attracted to Perkins. The two went on double dates (the photos of which can easily be found on the internet). In them it’s clear the boys paid more attention to each other than the girls.

Venetia Stevenson, a young actress that the studio assigned as Hunter’s beard (fake girlfriend) thought Tab was more in love with Tony than Tony was with Tab. Hunter also felt betrayed when Perkins convinced his Paramount to buy a script for him, knowing that Hunter had already played the role on TV and working working to get Warner to buy the script as well. That was the beginning of the end of their relationship.

“You never really knew Tony 100 percent. There was always a secret side, and he was a bit of a game-player with people’s minds,” said Hunter.

Hunter said of his life in Hollywood, “(it) was difficult for me, because I was living two lives at that time. A private life of my own, which I never discussed, never talked about to anyone. And then my Hollywood life, which was just trying to learn my (craft). There was a lot written about my sexuality, and the press was pretty cruel.”

At this point Hunter was feeling unfulfilled with the other roles the studio offered to him. So by 1959, he bought out his contract with Warner Brothers. The consequences of going out on his own was that he didn’t have the power of the studio promoting him. The quality of his films diminished during the 1960s and 1970s.

But in 1989, Tab Hunter had an unexpected career resurgence. Alt director John Waters asked him to star in “Polyester” opposite the ultimate Drag Queen Divine. Hunter’s his agent tried to convince him not to take the role but he decided, “What have I got to lose?”

The film was such a hit that Hunter decided to produce another film himself, costarring Divine. That effort would proved another turning point in his life.

Waters could only afford Hunter for one week. “I’m sure it was the least Tab Hunter had ever been earned on a film, and it was the most I ever paid an actor,” said Waters. “Polyester” was a hit, reviving Hunter’s film career.

While meeting with studios to raise money for what would eventually be call “Lust in the Dust”, Hunter met Allan Glaser, young executive at Fox. Sparks flew and the two soon became partners. Glaser also took on the role as producer of the film.

Hunter and Glaser settle on a ranch in Southern California when Tab regularly enjoyed horse back riding. Although out to friends, Tab was a private man. So he didn’t come out to the public until 2005 when he published his memoir. Hunter and Glaser married in 2013. The two were together for 35 years until Tab’s death in 2018.

[absolute-most]

“I want people to know what a good man he was. It was most important that Tab was known for being a good human being. That was more important to him than being an actor and a recording artist. He didn’t place importance on his movie career or his celebrity.” -Allan Glaser

“I'm very grateful for this road that I've been on - it's been a good one. It's been a tough one at times, too.” -Tab Hunter

Happy birthday, Tab Hunter (July 11, 1931 - July 8, 2018)

Today we remember the passing of Billie Holiday who Died: July 17, 1959, NYC Health & Hospitals/Metropolitan in New York

Eleanora Fagan, professionally known as Billie Holiday, was an American jazz and swing music singer with a career spanning for 26 years. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and music partner Lester Young, Holiday had an innovative influence on jazz music and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. She was known for her vocal delivery and improvisational skills.

By early 1959, Holiday was diagnosed with cirrhosis. Although she had initially stopped drinking on her doctor's orders, it was not long before she relapsed. By May of that same year, she had lost 20 pounds. Her manager Joe Glaser, jazz critic Leonard Feather, photojournalist Allan Morrison, and the singer's own friends all tried in vain to persuade her to go to a hospital.

On May 31, 1959, Holiday was taken to Metropolitan Hospital in New York for treatment of liver disease and heart disease. The Federal Bureau of Narcotics, under the order of Harry J. Anslinger, had been targeting Holiday since at least 1939. She was arrested and handcuffed for drug possession. As she lay dying, her hospital room was raided, and she was placed under police guard. On July 15, she received the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church. She died at 3:10 a.m. on July 17, of pulmonary edema and heart failure caused by cirrhosis of the liver. She was 44.

In her final years, she had been progressively swindled out of her earnings, and she died with $0.70 in the bank. Her funeral Mass was held on July 21, 1959, at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in Manhattan. She was buried at Saint Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx. The story of her burial plot and how it was managed by her estranged husband, Louis McKay, was documented on NPR in 2012.

Today I bring you someone my friend insisted on talking about, Tab Hunter! He was Hollywood’s all-American boy and the ultimate heartthrob. One of Hollywood’s most high-profile romantic leads, he was arrested in 1950 for disorderly conduct, connected to his rumoured homosexuality. After a successful career, he wrote an autobiography in 2005 where he publicly acknowledged he was gay for the first time. He had a long-term relationship with Psycho star Anthony Perkins and figure skater Ronnie Robertson before marrying his partner of more than 35 years, Allan Glaser.

[blessedarethebinarybreakers]

I don’t think I agree with Glaser’s assertion that forcing us into closets is a “civilized” option. Sure, if I had to pick between murder and being forced to conceal myself, I would choose the closet because with it comes a chance -- the potential for joy to be found within the closet’s holy darkness; the potential for doors to be flung open when we are ready; the potential for the oppressors’ repentance, for the oppressed’s survival, for the community’s thriving.

We who are LGBTA/queer are like Joseph, in so many ways. We are the ones whom our siblings often cannot stand; we are the ones whom God loves and empowers; we are the ones who transform famine into fruitfulness, who defy our oppressors by living our best lives in spite of their efforts to quell us. We are imaginative, powerful, holy.

When you are abandoned to languish in the closet, what good things have you found there? Whether “in the closet” or “out” or in some less binary space that defies those categories, where have you defiantly cultivated life where others told you there was only death?

[image description: 3 light pink squares with purple borders and purple text. At the top of the first square is a papyrus-textured banner reading “Advent, Day 17″; another papyrus-textured banner at the bottom of the third square cites the quote shared in the squares as coming from Chris Glaser, The Word Is Out. Here’s the quote shared in the squares:

“They said to one another, ‘Here comes this dreamer. Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; then we shall say that a wild animal has devoured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams.’ ” - Genesis 37:19-20 Joseph was a self-affirming, unrepentant dreamer. Jealous of the grace that God bestowed on him, his brothers plotted to kill him, but Reuben suggested throwing him into a dry well. Then they sold Joseph to passing slave traders en route to Egypt.

We are self-affirming, unrepentant dreamers as self-affirming [LGBTQA persons] who dream of full rights. Our siblings in the church, jealous of the grace with which God has blessed us, might want to do away with those of us who rattle the church. But ‘Reubens’ offer the church a more civilized alternative. Allan Boesak of South Africa has named this ‘The Reuben Option.’ It is to put dreamers into dry wells – closets – where they languish invisibly.

Little did Joseph’s brothers know what role they had unwittingly played in God’s providence. For in Egypt, Joseph’s dreams would come true, and he ultimately saved their family from a famine. Our dreams will also come true, and we will save our families of faith from a famine of dreams. Send more dreamers, that our churches may be filled with dreams!”
