We like to think there’s a line between gentle prodding of obviously closeted celebrities (btw, congratulations, John Travolta, for agreeing to appear in drag in Hairspray) and mean-spirited, baseless, homophobic witch-hunting.
Basically, the line is that only people with obvious gayvoice (and I’ll take this opportunity to direct you all once again to our latest podcast) are allowed to make fun of other gay people for being gay. That’s just the way it is. Now, take a moment to watch this montage from Media Take Out that posits that Terrence Howard might be gay. The narrator’s voice sounds distinctly heterosexual. Also, for proof, MTO mostly has assembled a series of still photos in which Howard’s wrist is bent at an effeminate angle. Possibly because he just finished throwing a baseball at 90 mph - we just don’t know.
Basically, this is mean-spirited bullshit - which would be fine if they had any persuasive evidence. But hey, look at the image at right. He looks pretty straight in this one, no?
