Vooxpopuli manag thoands of famo celebri and 's possible we missed some tails about the qutn - Is Peter O'Toole gay? “He told me you n’t be succsful Hollywood if you’re not OK wh Jews and homosexuals, ” says Omar Junr, lghg.

Brish gay magaze Attu regnised his urage by givg him an Inspiratn Award last October. Many scholars and historians have termed that Lawrence was gay, although this was a subject Lawrence himself never discsed public (que unrstandably, given the climate of his tim).

The film, though, suggts a whisperg, tty manner that Lawrence is cidly homosexual – one scene, he clar, “Do you thk I'm jt anybody, Ali? Lawrence may ed have been gay – but ’s doubtful he would ever try to flnt wh such behavr, particularly among his ultra-nservative Arab hosts.

I am supposed to ll Peter Glenville a gay director who was also a nservative Republin and a tax dodger, but ’s more accurate to ll him a proment Cold War-era Hollywood and Broadway director—who also happened to be a closeted Catholic nservative tax dodger. ” They hobnobbed wh gay actors.

Glenville’s greatt works bristled wh homoerotic energy. It seems like every celebry has been lled gay at some pot or another.
