Don’t Let James Franco In Drag Keep Those Gay Rumors Flying

THE SHOT — James Franco, the openly straight actor, appears on the cover of the second issue of Candy, the “transveral style magazine” that’s dedicated to “”celebrating transvestism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny, in all its manifestations,” as shot by Terry Richardson. Run, don’t walk: There are only 1,000 copies being printed.

James Franco is awesome. I think he’s straight and fearless.

@scott ny’er: I agree, I too think it for him is about flying in the face of sexual conventions & he is probably straight.

Gay, straight, bi whatever he’s a beautiful man and a great actor. The fact that he’s an amazing ally to the lgbt community which makes him even hotter in my book.

I used to think he was gay, but strangely, the more stuff like this he does, the more I think he’s straight.

This speaks alot about his character. We need more of his type, and does he ever look gorgeous!

I wonder if Terry got naked for the shoot and asked James to suck his dick or ejaculated all over him.

B/c he does that kindda stuff w female models (the still nobody kind of models, thats sort of creepy).

Hot shot Franco though.

It takes a person who’s very comfortable with their sexuality to do this.

And you can’t be that comfortable with your sexuality if you’re in the closet.

And I have to say, I adore someone who is so comfortable with their sexuality, it makes me comfortable about mine.

Might a remake of Rocky Horror be up his sleeve?
