Is Ah-nold a homophobe?

[foreigncorrespondent]

Because California is represented world wide as being the gay mecca, I am really interested in knowing if Arnold is a homophobe or not.

I did some research and apart from some speech he gave back in the early nighties where he referred to the dems as being a bunch of girlie men, I really couldn't find anything.

Does anyone know anything out there?

Thanks,

FC

1. Given his early career

I always thought he was bisexual.

(on edit)

I suppose that doesn't rule out him being a homophobe, however. Nobody ever said humans made sense.

2. No homophobe could survive 5 minutes in his profession

3. Arnold is very pro gay rights

Hate to say it.

The rumor is he--like so many other young bodybuilders who made their way to Southern california--got "help" from many gay men early in his career. Bodybuilders need to spend their entire lives at the gym to be successful, and therefore can't hold down regular jobs. Someone needs to pay the bills in exchange for a little "admiration."

Essentially, Arnold was a prostitute--had sex for money. Any of his former johns out there????????

4. Here are two rumored "sponsors" of Mr. Terminegger

He used to "pump us up" if you know what we mean.

5. Wow!

Now you have me thinking. LOL

I read an article many years ago in an Aussie magazine which was about Ah-nold, and mentioned how he would go and get hookers in order to get a BJ, because his wife refused to give him BJ's. Now I am visions of the people giving him BJ's being male hookers.

BTW, I was reading an article on one of my favorite political blogging sites today and it touched the surface on Ah-nolds sexual past, which is what got me to thinking in the first place. Great article if you want to read it. http://blogs.salon.com/0002551/2003/08/08.html#a354

8. Loved the article

Great quote about the hedonistic vote is about 25% and he can win with 21% Actually, an "interesting" sexual past might even help in California.

Seriously, though, Arnold got his start with illegal drugs (steroids) and prostitution--can you imagine a dem trying to have a political career wiht all that baggage? Of course, since he's a Repuke, it's just another example of another American success story!

9. I am glad you loved the article.

When I can, I post stuff from that blog, because the author of the blog has such a tallent, and of course is one of us liberals. :)

As for a dem having that kind of baggage, the bloody repukes would rip a dem to shreds in order to destroy that dems chances of getting elected, yet the repukes are the ones with the seedy backgrounds.

6. He's a bodybuilder

He's made his career off of male physique worship. Need I say more?:puffpiece: <-"Pump...You up!"

7. Let me just say this. . .

. . .as I have mentioned before I used to be a Public Relations Director for Planet Hollywood and I worked closely with Arnold and he is a great guy. He worked very hard for inner city kids. He worked hard for the special Olympics. He worked hard for the kids. Some his closest advisors are gay, so I would not expect him to be homophobic.

HE IS THE WRONG MAN FOR THIS JOB, I WISH HE WAS NOT RUNNING!

But he is a great guy.
