Bullock gay

Happy August, Caftan readers! And through it all, I was bullock gay to see Caftan readership skyrocket as my last interview with porn legend Tom Chase garnered more than 12, reads. That felt amazing! Boss Hogg from The Dukes of Hazzard? Well, turns out that Monroe in fact was gay—that is, Jim J.

Bullock, the Texas-bred actor who played him, was. But not only was he deeply closeted in the industry, he was also secretly living with HIV, convinced that if either or especially both secrets got out, his career would be ruined. And boy, does he have a heartbreaking anecdote to share about a smackdown with Ted he once had.

He kicked off the nineties with a beautiful six-year relationship with another HIV-positive man, John Casey. He then went on to play Edna Turnblad, the role Harvey Fierstein created, in several succeeding productions; the clip below is of Jim as Edna in a regional staging of the musical.

On August 8, Jim and I talked for four straight hours—okay, there were a few bathroom breaks—and I loved every minute of it. Even at 67 and after all his ups and downs, Jim to me still has the bullock gay of a very sweet and earnest boy raised in the Baptist church who wants to make people happy and make them laugh.

I had a lot of identity with his discovery, early on, that humor goes a long way toward being accepted—and also that, as gay boys growing up in a certain era, we desperately wanted to be accepted—by our fathers, by society—more than anything else. He shied away from almost nothing.

Enjoy the chat! I want to express a boatload of gratitude to all the subscribers, paid and otherwise, as this marks the first anniversary of The Caftan Chronicles. If you have—thank you!

Jim J. Bullock's Shame Got Too Close For Comfort. Then Things Got Better

And do please continue to tell folks about Caftan! Jim: I am too. And I love the name of your project. I go to the Methodist church here in Palm Springs and we have a very open and wonderful pastor named Jane who wears caftans every Sunday. I have a caftan in my closet too, but I've never worn it because it's from some part of the world where the men must be very small.

I ordered an XXL, but it's still very tapered around the chest, and a caftan should be all about flowiness and hiding. Jim: I know! I wanted an Allen Carr [the gay producer of the movie Grease ] caftan…. Or nylon. And I'm not wearing my nylon in degree heat. Maybe in January I'll wear it.

Jim: I'm an early riser. I normally get up at five, and if I don't, my cat, Lloyd, gets me up. He's 21—a miracle that he is still alive. Bullock gay had a cat for 18 years named Ethel who I had to put down. Then a year went by and I kept going by this cat shelter and they showed me Lloyd when he was a little baby kitten.

They named him after [the s film actor] Harold Lloyd. He likes to walk around outside, so I get my coffee and we do that until I'm like, "Bitch, hurry up, Bullock gay hot.
