Comments on: Why Is Tom Ford Saying A Single Man Isn’t Gay? http://www.queerty.com/why-is-tom-ford-saying-a-single-man-isnt-gay-20091124/ Free of an agenda. Except that gay one.

Imagine trying to claim a film about a gay character based on a story by a gay author and directed by a gay man, isn't gay themed? WTF? Laughable. But then, I recall the way Brokeback Mountain was marketed and how the "gay" aspect was downplayed in the attempt to attract, or at least not scare off a broader audience. That's probably the motivation for this spin. The film has been getting very good reviews, so why not leave it at that? I was kinda pissed off at 1st by his comments.

Leave the guy alone…why is it that the gays want to claim everything? It's obvious he doesn't let his sexuality run him like a lot of you out there. __________________________________________________ Dave, rather than reading one comment by this guy Tom Ford who claims his sexuality doesn't run him....you may want to have read things he's said in the past...when he was ALL about his sexuality, again, this is the guy who made a cologne that he said was reminicient of the "Hot sexy smell of a man's Crotch". So for him to come out now and pretend to be some closet case just shows he is being the typical hollywood douchebag. No. 4 · Dave said..

Even stupider than Tom Ford for thinking that the smattering of LGBT characters on TV add up to a "cliché". But you win the Crown of Stupid, because Ford was smart enough to con a movie studio into letting him direct a film, based on a book by a gay author about a gay man who's seeking meaning in his life after losing his same-sex lover, and saying that it isn't gay. When you're smart enough to pull off that massive of a con job that'll demonstrate that you aren't as massively stupid as you're coming off here. Jason, you're pretty fucking dumb too.

Uh…Because he’s a douchebag?

Ford should go back to doing what he knows best–dressing teenage models like whores.

It's obvious he doesn't let his sexuality run him like a lot of you out there. He made a film. Your interpretation isn't his. Deal with it. It's like saying Old Yeller was about beastiality just because humans loved him. Leave the guy alone…why is it that the gays want to claim everything?

I love what Harvey Fierstein said in "The Celluloid Closet" when someone told him how "Torch Song Trilogy" was a universal story and he rejected such an idea. In his mind, it was a gay movie. I don't understand these gay men, who when they reach the top, disavow their orientation. It's easy to say that, when you don't live in the country or in a homophobic area.

He is quoted a few years ago saying that he wanted to make a cologne that had the sexy smell, like a man's crotch. So now he's playing the hollywood game and pretending that there is nothing gay about his film about a gay man. Yeah, and Brokeback Mountain was about two guys who liked to ride horses and camp and go home to their lovely wives. Ugh Tom Ford, What a hypocrite.
