IS ANDY GRIFFH GAY?
Is Andy Griffh Gay? Come and disver what has been said lately about this and what is Andy Griffh sayg about this. * was andy griffith gay *
Andy Griffh has never ma any public statement about this, so all mors about if Andy Griffh is gay rema pletely unfound and unproven. Neverthels, speculatns over whether Andy Griffh is gay or not are still prent certa rners of the tabloids and on var webs, once aga whout any solid foundatn. More and more celebri adm every year that they are gay, but this is not the se wh Andy Griffh sce this celebry never said so.
SO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO FROM CLASSIC TV WAS GAY?
The '70s were a different era for the gay muny, and the world was not as acceptg of other sexual preferenc as is today. So when Jim Nabors opened up about his sexualy, beme a topic of mockery. * was andy griffith gay *
Although Andy Griffh has never admted to beg gay, the media always nsirs the likelihood of one day reportg on the other. Although Andy Griffh has never said to be homosexual, 's easier to e out the world of the celebri, as there have been many to precent this. Vooxpopuli manag thoands of famo celebri and 's possible we missed some tails about the qutn - Is Andy Griffh gay?
IS IT TE THAT ANDY GRIFFH HATED GAYS
Every old televisn show was about gays, and I n prove . Now, if you want an example of Gay Ricky and And They Were Roommat Lethel (terrible ship name, Siri please revise) you n watch S1 Ep18 “Vatn From Marriage”. And a good thg too, I served to see Don Knotts play a homo.
Every person who participated was eher a gay clockg on the low sgle digs of the Valid Sle, or a terrifyg heterosexual. I jt googled the actor, Raymond Burr, and apparently he was humongoly gay! Now M*A*S*H is possibly too recent to clu, but ’s a firmly gay tv show so legally I mt.
Who’s gay? Fd the gays you wish to see your oldi tv.
