Al Jolson Fom - Did Jolson have any gay iends? - I don't know how close Jolie was wh Eddie Cantor, but if Boardwalk Empire is to be believed, the Ball & the Jack sger was a flamg homosexual. There's also the (unnfirmed to my knowledge) matter of Mr. Danny Kaye who was reportedly a ltle light the loafers as were, but aga, I am unsure of what if any relatnship he might have had wh Mr. Jolson other than the ocsnal profsnal llaboratn.

Chris, Wh all due rpect, my opn my follow-up post did not veer om the origal qutn (which was, as you rrectly poted out, askg whether or not Jolie had any gay iends) reply, while not five sce no one seems to know for sure and perhaps never will, was simply that IF Jolie was iends wh Cantor and Kaye and IF they were gay, then YES, Jolson had gay iends. So, I'm not sure where any veerg has occured, but if you perceived I'll take your word for and would jt like to say that such was not my 're all faiar wh the gay unrton 'Wonrbar' and Jolie's "Boys will be boys! " quip, as well as other bs durg which he acted effemate or "gay", which says to me that like most entertaers of his day, he was ed to beg around gays and workg wh them as well as havg a ltle edic fun at their expense.

I don't believe Kaye was gay, spe the unnfirmed mors, but aga, if Boardwalk Empire did their homework and their characterizatn of Cantor is rrect, then I'd have to say Cantor was. Incintally, I fd uproarly funny that Jolie had a gay driver named "Pansy".. Beg of the ancient variety, I n remember the time when gay people were gay, and homosexuals were homosexuals!

There is a day mp Toronto lled Camp Gay Venture, which has been around for many s. DonnieWhout apology for strayg om the origal thread of this postg, may I jt make the observatn that the manerg of the word 'gay' by the homosexual muny effectively st many popular songs to limbo. For stance, I was told by one of the producers of the London Wt End show, 'Jolson: The Mil', that the song 'Stg On Top Of The World' was omted bee of the le 'A bundle of money don't make me feel gay'!
PatOf urse you are permted to ll yourself 'gay' and beg of a siar ancient variety (here I am stretchg the tth! I seem to rell readg somewhere that the songwrer of Pretty Baby was gay and that the song was about his lover.
