IS BILLY BRECKENRIDGE GAY?
To unrstand the homosexual reprentatn by Jason Pritly "Tombstone" well I thk one mt grasp that a uple of years before Wyatt Earp died Los Angel, an embtered old man at the poor treatment he thought himself to have received Breckenridge's own bgraphy, "Helldorado" plag to his own workg bgrapher, Stuart Lake, that "Helldorado" was a kd of torpedo job, full of character assassatn llg the Earp factn Tombstone "The Earp Gang" Lake promised Earp, jt before he died, that he, Lake, would set the rerd straight, and you n tell watchg the 1993 MOVIE.
Tombstone" that the wrers of that script had totally bought to the Earp versn, Based self upon Lake's far famed "Wyatt Earp -- ontier Marshall" that proved the bedrock of nearly all Earp/Doc Holliday movi sce clarg the "wboys" nothg better than one of the first wav of Amerin anized crime, stg very dark light such figur as Curly Bill Broci and Johnny Rgo, both iends of Breckenridge, and I do believe he, Breckenridge, was portrayed unflattergly as "Sisterboy", an appelatn borrowed om that old fifti movie, "Tea and Sympathy" and nnected this gay slur wh Breckenridge as a kd of sir joke, as he who lghs last lghs bt. Otherwise, I know of no evince that Breckenridge was actually gay.
