Love and Obstacles
October 4, 2010
This past weekend, the New Yorker held its annual festival, which -- as always -- includes a multitude of speakers and panels discussing a variety of topics. Top players in all professions were represented, including Stephen King, Malcolm Gladwell, Jake Gyllenhaal and Regina Spektor -- all chatting about themselves and their areas of expertise. Our favorite, though, would have to have been Cynthia Nixon on the panel discussion "Love and Obstacles: The Case for Gay Marriage."
Ms. Nixon, who is most known for her role has Miranda Hobbes in Sex and the City, and now is engaged to education activist Christine Marinoni, stole our hearts with her rather calm, well made argument. Not only does she make a good case, she makes an example of how to make said point.
“Gay people who want to marry have no desire to redefine marriage in any way. When women got the vote, they did not redefine voting. When African-Americans got the right to sit at a lunch counter alongside white people, they did not redefine eating out. They were simply invited to the table. And that is all we want to do. We have no desire to change marriage. We want to be entitled to not only the same privileges, but the same responsibilities as straight people.”

«Oldest ‹Older 1601 – 1800 of 3894 Newer› Newest»As if this guy knows whether Jake is gay or not.
Why wouldn't he know? You don't have to have sex with someone to know he's gay or straight. You need a sex tape to know that Zachary Q is gay?
Fasten your seatbelts, It's gonna be a bumping ride
I'm ready. ;)
That joke was purely a reference to Jake's role as Jack, nothing more.
I know enough to know that they have better things to do than try and counter the JIG blogs relentless attacks on the internet and the shallow JIG fans who want acceptance for all but scream that Jake is gay and nothing other continuously around the internet.
Complain to Jake, it is not our fault he's gay and has no problem with bearding.
That joke was purely a reference to Jake's role as Jack, nothing more.
You are reading people's mind? Or you presume people who belive Jake is gay are idiots?
That joke was purely a reference to Jake's role as Jack, nothing more.
Of course it is.
So much venom towards an actually nice guy, based on words from an internet gossip columnist.
Bullshit. Jake proved his gayness, there are 10.000 photos, remember?
Why wouldn't he know? You don't have to have sex with someone to know he's gay or straight. You need a sex tape to know that Zachary Q is gay?
It's not because everyone thinks Jake is obviously gay. That's not true. Most people don't even know or could careless if Jake Gyllenhaal??? is Gay. He's not as big and Travolta or Cruise. Sorry, the average American still see him as "Who is he".
It's the who is gay rumors that's done this. Jake has been on most of the Gay rumors sites, tabs, mags. Jake does not give off a typical gay fey male image, so it's only the rumors. That's why I think the MSNBC guest made the comment. Not because everyone knows he's gay and hiding.
I also think the guest was gay, I don't know, but I think he was.
Troy Aikmen of the Cowboys and Steve Young of the Forty ninners has/had rumors. Does the whole NFL know about this? Maybe, but I don't think so.

Yes, Hanging all over YOUR wall..
It's the cup half full, half empty situation. Also, you see what you want to see. Others who don't care or think they were in a relationship is not wrong either. It was a relationship. So if you have pictures of Jake (doing a man) while Reese was on the phone starting a relationship with Toth, I'll shut up. But until then, It's only what you want to see.
Not talking about the MSN guy, but I noticed that every cheap gay or BBM joke towards Jake seems to somehow make certain "fans" happy and is somehow approval to their believes. Kind of freaky, really.

^^ I agree. Just laughing with glee.
:)
I always thought Reese made Jake look wimpy and emasculated. Attributed it to her being older and a strong woman. Funny thing though. Jake looks just as wimpy next to Taylor. He looks best alongside a man.Give it up Jake. Its not working anyway so why bother.
PG must be in a muddle now over at OMG. I think she's a TS fan. I don't dare look.
That joke was purely a reference to Jake's role as Jack, nothing more.
Of course it is.
How would you know? No one knows about Jake being gay?
Jake does not give off a typical gay fey male image, so it's only the rumors.
Not true, Jake has gay voice an gestures.
^^He sometimes looked wimpy with Austin or Heath too. He's a bit wimpy, but he has great qualities too, his looks and charms and so on.
Jake does not give off a typical gay fey male image, so it's only the rumors.
Not true, Jake has gay voice and gestures.
Not true, Jake has gay voice an gestures.
What? Willis has a soft voice, is he gay too?
What exact gestures Jake did that make him gay?
(I think it's kinda homophobic in this case stereotyping people. To make my opinion clear)
So if you have pictures of Jake (doing a man) while Reese was on the phone starting a relationship with Toth, I'll shut up. But until then, It's only what you want to see.
I know that you'll keep deluding yourself or lying that you believe Reeke was real, goes without saying.
I think it's kinda homophobic in this case stereotyping people.
Nothing homophobic about telling the truth. Adam loves make up. Jake's voice is too high and quite feminine. Many gays share that.
Not true, Jake has gay voice and gestures.
If you don't mind me asking, are you a straight woman or gay man?
Troy Aikmen of the Cowboys and Steve Young of the Forty ninners has/had rumors. Does the whole NFL know about this? Maybe, but I don't think so.
^^ maybe 95% of the NFL fans don't know of these rumors, but they were on the who is gay / who is not list a number of times. Well Aikman was.
Point is, most people don't know of rumors unless they are put out there in a big way or, you are gay and know of MOST of the Gay rumors.

More made up bullshit.
Give us just one example of "cheap gay or BBM joke towards Jake" if you can.

Jake's voice is too high and quite feminine.
That's what I noticed about Bruce Willis too. Doesn't mean he's a closeted gay. Maybe it's more common in gay men, but I'm sure many straight guys have soft voices too.
I know that you'll keep deluding yourself or lying that you believe Reeke was real, goes without saying.
Oh I see, YOU can't be deluding yourself about the relationship and lying to yourself that he is gay? I get it now.
Or have you had a Gay date with Mr. Gyllenhaal. I want pictures damit. PICTURES
Bruce Willis's voice is soft, NOT high or feminine.
More made up bullshit.
Give us just one example of "cheap gay or BBM joke towards Jake" if you can.
You really never noticed cheap gay or BBM jokes made about Jake? Or are you one of those agreeing with the jokes seeing them as further "proof" for Jake's gayness?
When I remember some examples, I'll make sure to post them. ;)
Oh I see, YOU can't be deluding yourself about the relationship and lying to yourself that he is gay?
Comne on, you are the one who think that Reeke was real, LMAO!
You really never noticed cheap gay or BBM jokes made about Jake?
Why are changing the subject?
My question was about "I noticed that every cheap gay or BBM joke towards Jake seems to somehow make certain "fans" happy and is somehow approval to their believes" bullshit.
Would you care to comment that?
Maybe others see it differently, but Jake is a "manly" man to me, nothing feminie (except for the low voice maybe). No matter if he's straight, gay or bi.
Nothing homophobic about telling the truth. Adam loves make up. Jake's voice is too high and quite feminine. Many gays share that.
This again is some stereotypical bullshit from some crazed JIG fan. Who may be 15 to 20yr old.
Some efeminine gay men have high voices or "pretend" to have high voices. There are many, MANY, gay and bisexual men with low masculine voices. And there are many *straight and bisexual* men with high voices.
The poster above is one of the types of gay boy/men or female/slash writer who don't know these thhings (yet).
Then they use the stereotypical bullshit also, that they claim they are victims of.
It's ridiculous, isn't it. I've read more stereotypical sh*t here.
It's ridiculous, isn't it. I've read more stereotypical sh*t here.
What are you talking about? Do you know any gay men?
Would you care to comment that?
When some homophobic asshole "jokes" about Jake liking it in the ass (clear reference to BBM)for instance, some posters posted it here and acted like "see everyone knows he is gay". Either they didn't see the homophobia or they didn't want to, because ultimately those homophobes, even in an instulting way, "agreed" with the posters opinion.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed it. You can deny it all you want, I know what I witnessed here.
Duh, 12:02.
Stereotypes are based on truth. There are more feminine gay men than feminine straight men. Deal with that.

Definitely more feminin acting gay guys out there, but there are staright feminin acting guys too.
So what?
^^straight

What??? People who post examples of homophobia are homophobes?

So what? It means you can not generalize. Simple.

You are playing stupid, don't you? ;) Read my post thoroughly, ok?

You're NOT.
I've seen it on all of the Jake is Gay sites. Also on the internet blogs that post a story about Jake. The JIG posters come out of the woodwork to help perpetuate the JIG and (All) of the stereotypes that comes with being gay. But when someone else does this to the gay comm., all hell breaks loose.
So what? Was for the general-izer's comment.
Definitely more feminin acting gay guys out there, but there are staright feminin acting guys too.
No one said that some gays aren't very masculine or "straight acting". At the same time, everyone needed 3 seconds or less to see that, for example, Antoine Dodson is gay as a goose.
The posters here are all homophobic fangirls. They hate gay men that don't fit their sterotypes.
I guess I don't care about those things.
People who post examples of homophobia are homophobes?

I did. I don't see anything homophobic about discussing homophobic jokes, and I don't see anything about "somehow make certain "fans" happy".

Every time I think you couldn't post anything more moronic, you manage to surprise me :)
Straight Acting??
Some gay men / boys just are not effemine. Society and most effeminine gay people (mostly men) perpetuate this myth. And I have met some masc. gay men who don't want anything to do with over the top feminine gay guys. This is because they are attracted to masculine guys. Not the the other type. They don't hate or disrespet the fems, they're just not interested in them socially or sexually.
I did. I don't see anything homophobic about discussing homophobic jokes, and I don't see anything about "somehow make certain "fans" happy".
Then you obviouly didn't understand. Those posted homophobic comments weren't discussed or condemned, certain posters joked along and saw it as further "proof" of Jake's gayness.
^^ Poster 12:28 believe it or not, I believe most gay or bisexual men, mainly in the closet men are like this.
Straight Acting??
Yes, straight acting, term used by gays for gay men and women who don't act gay :)
What is gay or straight acting? Explain, I'm really curious! What traits make a guy look gay or straight respectively?

^^ Just take a look at all of the blind vices Ted does of supposed gay and bisexual celebrity men. All of them are masculine.
Wether what Ted says is true is another story. Most I don't believe.
Straight Acting??
Yes, straight acting, term used by gays for gay men and women who don't act gay :)
You are perpetuating a stereotype whether you know it or not. You are saying that all gay men are, or supposed to be feminine.
Thus the ones who are not, are straight acting. I say NO.
Some men are just who they are. They just happen to prefer sex with men.
What is gay or straight acting? Explain, I'm really curious! What traits make a guy look gay or straight respectively?
Very hard question. You can look gay, talk gay, walk gay, laugh and smile gay. Gaydar is a fine art :)
Some men are just who they are. They just happen to prefer sex with men.
Exactly.
I remember seeing a guy when I went out one night, he wore make up, a tight shirt (you know all the stereotypes) and it turned out he was straight. You can not always know for sure.

I didn't say that. No one said that. 'Straight acting' is just a term, we need those to communicate.
Wikipedia:
Straight-acting is a term used to describe an LGBT person who does not exhibit the appearance or mannerisms of the gay stereotype. Although the label is used by and reserved almost exclusively for gay and bisexual men, it may also be used to describe a lesbian or bisexual woman with stereotypical feminine appearance and mannerisms.[1][2] Because the term invokes negative stereotypes of gay people, its application is often controversial and may cause offense.[3]

^^ for the most part you can throw away the B in the above organization on this site and most JIG sites. Bisexual men don't exist on most of the Jake blogs.

Stereotypes aren't important in Jake's case. We have years of interviews and photos and PR work.
I know enough to know that they have better things to do
And apparently you do not, lol. but you still can't say why you're here and why this blog bothers you so much. If I truly believed Jake was straight I would ignore JiG sites. You don't realize that you only give credence to the rumors by hanging out and arguing :)
Stereotypes aren't important in Jake's case. We have years of interviews and photos and PR work.
You are really annoying at your attempt to push Jake is nothing but gay and beards. This upsets you to your core and it's very transparent.
It's also very clear this disrupts your agenda that Jake has to be gay and come out to make you happy.
Anything other is unacceptable in your view.
You have an Agenda. YOU need to give it up.
12:27 thinks he or she will get a date with Jake when he hopefully comes out. He/she thinks they have a chance.
Jake carrying the rainbow flag in the next parade might be his/her agenda.
It's his/her goal.

I'm sorry that Jake being gay pisses you off :)))
12:27 thinks he or she will get a date with Jake when he hopefully comes out. He/she thinks they have a chance.
Silly fangirl, you are projecting!
Female JIG believers hopefully know they have no chance dating him, because, one, he's a celeb, two, he's gay (in their opinion at least). But I think women (stereotype follows :D) are more romantic beings than men and I truly think that many ladies on OMG and WFT 2 still believe in the Tooth & Goose big love thing and some of them in BT too. If this all turned out to be crappy lies, they'd be crushed, to say the least.
And our gay men here need an ally, thinking mainstream actor coming out might be helpful for the LGBT community.
Hence they really, more than anything, WANT to believe Jake is gay.
And babblers see only what they want to see too, just the best of Jake. Possibility that he might be bi or bi curious is a no no (actually TB and babblers have that one in common, lol).
Very strange fan group/followers that Jake has.
Hence they really, more than anything, WANT to believe Jake is gay.
There is no need to want anything, Jake bearded for 2,5 years and showed us he's gay.
And our gay men here need an ally, thinking mainstream actor coming out might be helpful for the LGBT community.
As YOU know, we seldom discuss Jake's coming out, not sure if anyone expect to see it in the next 20 years.
Isn't it lovely how fangirls think that hanging out with TS will turn Jake straight, or at least bisexual? :)

^^ you really need to get a clue. Maybe you're watching Americas next top model too much. You are fixated with all things gay. get a clue will you.
Huh? What clue is that, 1:53 PM?
You are fixated with all things gay.
Are you posting on IHJ or GB how that are fixated with all things straight? Do you? No? Only gay is not OK? I thought so.

how his (1:32pm) agenda is falling apart. Not working.
He's trying to get Jake to carry the rainbow flag in the next parade.
IHJ isn't that bad, there even seem to post some Jake is bi believers and WDW is not bad either. Babblers, well, that's another story. ;)
Taylor Swift now?
It's as predictable as the day is long. Let's see :
he has a new movie coming out, and...
the Jake-Austin romance on the Gay 'A-List' reality show is hitting too close to home, and..
the new beardee has a history with sexually ambiguous, professionally ambitious men, and...
he just shaved off his real beard, so...
it's time for Jake to acquire a new beard!
He's trying to get Jake to carry the rainbow flag in the next parade.
"He's trying to get Jake..."???? What are you babbling about? What our discussions have to do with Jake's coming out?
Babblers, well, that's another story. ;)
THANK GOD FOR UV!
Very strange fan group/followers that Jake has.
Ah, yes, and you're the lone voice of reason, is that it? LOL. The chosen one who is going to educate us and let us see the error of our ways. Get over yourself. You rail against stereotypes and then do the same thing in making sweeping statements about women being "romantics" and "our gay men here." jfc, get over yourself. 2:00PM is right - you're not over at babblers preaching to them about "seeing only the best side of Jake" or about some "bi-curious" nonsense, so stop pretending. You're not fooling anyone.
Are you posting on IHJ or GB how they are fixated with all things straight? Do you? No? Only gay is not OK? I thought so.
Sorry, try that lame Bs on someone else. After you continue to say someone you don't know personally, but Wish and hope that they are GAY, Bearding and need to come out. That they are living a lie. All because you want to feel good about yourself. It's rediculuous.
Now you're trying to play the homophobic game. I guess in your book you get to make all the rules just as long as they help your agenda. Take a look in the mirror, you might find the bigest homophobe ever. And a non Accepting one. Accepting of anothers sexuality (Whatever it is)and privacy of it.
You make overbearing and broad assumptions on someone elses sexuality based on YOUR Beliefs, and state them as Truths.
Then gets mad when others don't agree.
Have you ever thought of live and let live? Whatever a persons sexuality is, it's their business? No, YOU have not and don't care. As long as a young hot HW star comes out, oh forgot, it has to be a hot male star because you don't care about the female gay, bi stars.
Your agenda is transparent I repeat.
Grow Up and look in the mirror.
Take a look in the mirror, you might find the bigest homophobe ever.
Too bad that you don't understand basic concepts. Believing that someone is gay isn't homophobic, there is nothing wrong with being gay.
2:14 still can't answer the real questions... talk about B.S. and being transparent ;)
You're on a JiG blog - that's the premise of the blog. You're either completely dimwitted and don't get that, which I doubt, or for some reason you can't stand the thought of people thinking Jake is gay. You can't stand it so much that you've apparently taken it on as a cause. You don't know him personally either, so why do you give a shit what anyone thinks.
Believing that someone is gay isn't homophobic, there is nothing wrong with being gay.
No Einstein, the problem is, not truly knowing the *truth* about another persons who you *don't know personally* (sexuality), then claiming {you do}, then getting "upset" when another person disagrees..
Then trying to label the disagreer a {homophobe} because they don't see it (your way). It's** bullshit**.
Try it on someone else.
IMDB heads up: Someone posted on the LAOD board in the Hollywood Reporter thread the Variety review, but I can't see what they wrote. Could someone please go and take a look and report back if the review is positve? Thanks.
2:28 PM - can you read? You don't know Jake personalty either, you just "know" that Jake can't be gay because that is bad - you certainly don't complain when people think that Jake is straight, do you?
A super-slick romantic comedy about a charismatic go-getter who pursues his calling and his soulmate in the unlikely world of pharmaceutical sales, "Love & Other Drugs" is snappy, saucy and, like any overzealous product-pusher, rather too eager to please. Notable for its barbed portrait of how doctors and drug companies do business, as well as an uncommon degree of sexual candor for a mainstream picture, this smartly packaged item otherwise hews closely to genre prescriptions. That bodes well for B.O. prospects, and ingratiating performances from Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway should help sell the Fox release to the general public.
If one can get past the calculation inherent in the drug-pushing-boy-meets-disease-stricken-girl setup, "Love & Other Drugs" clicks largely because its actors do (no small feat, considering what an unhappy couple Gyllenhaal and Hathaway made in "Brokeback Mountain"). Their ribald pillow talk lends the film a verbal tartness that's complemented visually by the abundant nudity, though tasteful use of shadows and strategic camera placement still leave plenty to the imagination.
Jamie's tempestuous relationship with Maggie coincides with his, er, rising fortunes when he's tapped to sell Viagra, just as demand for the performance-enhancing drug is beginning to sweep the nation, and Zwick's unflattering snapshot of the venality of the medical establishment is fascinating, if fanciful (one hopes). But it also raises expectations of seriousness, or at least deeper satirical intent, that fizzle out as the film earnestly toes the romantic-comedy line.
There seems to be no significant development, whether it's Jamie's training at Pfizer or his tireless quest for a cure for Parkinson's, that can't be reduced to a zippy montage, and the final scenes are awash in much teary emoting and the unsubtle strains of James Newton Howard's score; even the character of Jamie's less attractive but more successful brother (an amusing Josh Gad) comes across as a stock supporting oaf. "Love & Other Drugs" is a jagged little pill that, in the end, goes down too smoothly.
That the film's treatment of Parkinson's disease feels as respectful as it does is a credit to Hathaway's sensitive, understated rendering of her character's symptoms, which appear to manifest themselves only when most convenient for the narrative. Crucially, the actress makes Maggie a vivacious presence, the sheer force of her spirit serving as a rebuke to her physical setbacks and countering the film's generally insulting view of women (who fall into three basic categories here: bimbos, opportunists and Parkinson's patients). As Jamie, the ideally cast Gyllenhaal turns on the charm full force, his energetic puppy-dog demeanor all but daring the viewer not to buy whatever he's selling.
Smoothly mounted pic was lensed in and around Pittsburgh. Soundtrack, crammed with '90s hits, seems overly determined to underscore the pic's timeframe.
You don't know Jake personalty either, you just "know" that Jake can't be gay because that is bad - you certainly don't complain when people think that Jake is straight, do you?
I really don't want to say this but, you are very dense.
I don't claim to know him personally or what he truly likes sexually. YOU and others (do) claim this. When anyone with a brain know (you don't) and just, (how do they say it), Projecting.
You are trying to put words in my mouth about Gay being bad.
Wrong Answer!
Whatever his sexuality is I don't care and still like him. He does not have to be gay for me to like him or be a fan of his. Like some others here. Maybe Jake has to be Gay for YOU to like him or be a fan of his. Not me.
You are acting like your (beliefs) are true. They may not be, they may. It's called Speculation, not "The Truth". Get it.

You don't get it. Howe many times you have to be told?
"I know Jake is gay" = "I'm sure, I'm 100% certain Jake is gay." OK? Clear enough?
Whatever his sexuality is I don't care and still like him. He does not have to be gay for me to like him or be a fan of his.
Why are you complaining ONLY about posters who believe Jake is gay? Why don't you complain about posters who believe Jake is straight? Do tell!
Whatever his sexuality is I don't care and still like him.
You care when someone claims that Jake is gay. You are a homophobic hypocrite.
Sorry, should have been:
You don't get it. Howe many times you have to be told?

^^^ besides internet and gossip pictures / pictures (showmance, Reeke, basketball pics and other crap) do you have evidencse, not speculation, but Real evidence?
The difference is Jake never said he was gay, but he said he was straight.
2:37 PM
Thanks so much for posting the Variety review. You are a doll! :)
Ricky talked about shopping for an engagement ring for his beard, how his beard would make a great mother to his kids (video interview) and a few more embarrassing things.
besides internet and gossip pictures / pictures (showmance, Reeke, basketball pics and other crap) do you have evidencse, not speculation, but Real evidence?
I don't. I know much less about Bradley Cooper, but I'm sure he's gay too - he's worse in bearding than Jake.
^^^ besides internet and gossip pictures / pictures (showmance, Reeke, basketball pics and other crap) do you have evidencse, not speculation, but Real evidence?
^^^ Of course, no response.
All heartfelt speculations.
Don't make it true.
I think Ricky was better in bearding than Jake because he really liked his beard, but he still couldn't hide the fakeness.
Of course, no response.
Read posts, you got your response.
Sorry, We may have posted the same time.
Got your response.

^^ it's still all heartfelt Speculations though, It don't make it the Truth.
Thanks for the response.
Don't make it true.
Remember gay gossip about NPH, T.R. Knight, Clay Aiken or Luke MacFarlane? No proof, just gossip. Well, they are gay after all.
^^^ and there are plenty of others who have gay rumors that may be just that. A rumor.
The list is Long.
Some married. Some married a number of times. Some with children, some without them.
Take your pick.
Bradley Cooper was married too. Didn't turn him straight.
Taylor Swift, Jake Gyllenhaal Go Apple Picking
more Taylor + Jake
^^"They were walking through the trees, having fun together," says a local. "They looked happy."
Adds the witness, "Some of the customers tried to take a photo of them, but they were hiding from them in the trees. They drove through the orchard and bought the apples on the way out."
LMAO!
Bradley Cooper was married too. Didn't turn him straight.
You can call it what you want to call it. He was married and is dating what's her face. In my book he is either straight or a possibility of bi or maybe gay, until he admits that he is Gay.
Or gay pictures of man on man stuff is put out there.
Just like the poster who saw the guy with the tight shirt and makeup who was into women. You cannot judge a person by their outer appearance or what you think they are.
You cannot judge a person by their outer appearance or what you think they aređ.
What appearance has to do with anything???
I can judge a celebrity by the time and energy put into faking and lying - Bradley Cooper is faking and lying because he's gay.
In my book he is either straight or a possibility of bi or maybe gay, until he admits that he is Gay.
That's simply stupid. In your book Anderson and Jodie are maybe gay.
Jodie lived with a woman for years and had artificial impregnation.
Jake was dating Jenny Lewis, Dunst, RW and there were rumors he fooled around with a few girls in betwee. Also, he himself said numerous times that he was straight and that his character in BBM is territory that was new to him. Either he's telling the truth or he's a pathological lier.

Jake can say what he wants, his bearding won't go away. He's closeted Hollywood actor, one of many.
So far Jake didn't talk about his "relationship" with the chin - looks like his stomach is too weak for that kind of bullshiting.
And the JiS troll still can't explain why they are spending so much time on a JiG blog that they evidently think is offensive trying to convince people that they are wrong to believe he's gay and wrong to talk about it, but yet, here they are keeping the discussion going instead of ignoring all of these terrible JiG believers :)
The Jake is gay agenda is in full throttle.
Anderson and Jodie never dated anyone of the opposite sex in public. Also,They never married anyone. If you can't understand the difference too bad, I do.
As a poster said earlier, the posters who say Jake is gay and no possibility of anything other, their minds are set. Jake can be with any woman for years to come, have 5 children and they will still call his wife a beard, it's a showmance and PR is pulling strings to try and throw (them off). He's lying.
I'm beginning to think most of these posters are young gay teen boys.
There is nothing wrong with being gay. In my book it's how one is born. What's wrong is gay people needing others to validate them and their existance. And making a rumor the truth, then needing the rumor for self validation. Then turning the so-called admiration of the star (JG) to years of he's in the closet rants because he has not fullfilled their dream.
WoW they're still at it since 2005. It's 2010 going on 2011.
Ted, You lied
Ted didn't lie about Jake being gay.
4:08, it's almost like a form of BULLYING.
Fan Bullying if you ask me.
So what if he's gay and has not come out. So what if he's dating or bearding with a girl. It's his life. Not yours.
What about YOUR Life?
1. you don't know if it's true.
2. so why make a big deal out of it.
3. he may be str8, bi, gay
4. Why should you care who he sleeps with
these are all the things that gay people want people to respect about them, then they turn around and do it to another.
WOW
^^^ Or should I say, A person who has GAY rumors. Wow Again.
Anderson and Jodie never dated anyone of the opposite sex in public. Also,They never married anyone. If you can't understand the difference too bad, I do.
What difference? They aren't bearding, but they are as gay as closeted gays who beard or marry.
As a poster said earlier, the posters who say Jake is gay and no possibility of anything other, their minds are set.
Jake bearded with Reese Witherspoon for 2,5 years. How many years of faking do you need to conclude that someone is gay?
Or should I say, A person who has GAY rumors.
Of course, being gay is a terrible thing, GAY rumors are terrible - but all other rumors are OK!
Jake can be with any woman for years to come, have 5 children and they will still call his wife a beard, it's a showmance and PR is pulling strings to try and throw (them off).
Do you know that gay people don't turn straight, they stay gay all their life? You heard about that or should we try to explain that to you?
the posters who say Jake is gay and no possibility of anything other, their minds are set.
That's why arguing is totally pointless. Casablanca's words are gospel.
Casablanca's words are gospel.
After repeating 16.789 times that Jake's bearding convinced us he's gay you though that posting that idiotic bullshit is a good idea? LMAO!
Gyllenhaal and Hathaway are terrific as two sarcastic, sexually hungry young people eager to hop into bed, or go up against the nearest wall for a knee-trembler.
As Jamie, the ideally cast Gyllenhaal turns on the charm full force, his energetic puppy-dog demeanor all but daring the viewer not to buy whatever he's selling.
Two important positive reviews - not bad :)
Poor trolls, they are still bothered by TED. Good! :)))
Apple picking upstate?
Us Weekly turned Farmers market (remember tweets) into "Apple picking upstate". More bad tabloid fiction.
This needs reposting
5:03 and 4:28pm Please Read again.
Female JIG believers hopefully know they have no chance dating him, because, one, he's a celeb, two, he's gay (in their opinion at least). But I think women (stereotype follows :D) are more romantic beings than men and I truly think that many ladies on OMG and WFT 2 still believe in the Tooth & Goose big love thing and some of them in BT too. If this all turned out to be crappy lies, they'd be crushed, to say the least.
And our gay men here need an ally, thinking mainstream actor coming out might be helpful for the LGBT community.
Hence they really, more than anything, WANT to believe Jake is gay.
And babblers see only what they want to see too, just the best of Jake. Possibility that he might be bi or bi curious is a no no (actually TB and babblers have that one in common, lol).
Very strange fan group/followers that Jake has.

Don't see Jake or Austin marrying anytime soon. Hopefully they are not that stupid. Bearding is one thing but marrying is another. That would be pathethic

Why? Reposting won't make it true, and most of that post has nothing to do with reality or truth.

I agree.
They know it, they just can't admit it.

Please try to use your brain for once.
How on Earth our posts or knowing that Jake is gay or our wishes can influence Jake's coming out?????
Please explain that nonsense.

No one expects you to, it's ok, I understand.

Really? Some fans WANT to believe that Jake is gay, but all other fans are good and normal and don't WANT Jake to be straight or bisexual, they just have their opinions!
That's homophobic bullshit.
still can't admit huh?
Admit what? Do tell.
^^ No it's not.
It's called Wishful thinking.
Or hopeful thinking.
Choose one.
Why? Reposting won't make it true, and most of that post has nothing to do with reality or truth.
You're right 5:39PM, but they have nothing left to do but repeat the same b.s., lol. And they still keep ignoring questions about why they are hanging out at this offensive JiG blog :)
That's why arguing is totally pointless
But you're still here anyway :D
It's called Wishful thinking. Or hopeful thinking. Choose one.
No. Claiming that ONLY fans who believe Jake is gay are wishful thinkers is called homophobic stupidity.
Taylor looks like a younger version of Kiki.
But then Reese was an older compressed version of Kiki.
"Don't see Jake or Austin marrying anytime soon. Hopefully they are not that stupid. Bearding is one thing but marrying is another. That would be pathethic"
YOu just jinx it, one of them will get married now to a girl and its all your fault.

Wrong again Sherlock, Gay fans *claiming* to (know) for a (Fact) simply because they (believe he Is) is Wishful and Hopeful thinking.
Throw your convenient Homophobic slurs around if you will, Sorry it's not sticking here.
Get a clue of what homophobic attitudes are, then we can talk. You might come up surprised at what you find.
Look within.

Even after this weekend's social events – which included a visit to Saturday Night Live set and a friendly brunch in Brooklyn – the two are just hanging out for now, a Gyllenhaal source agrees.
"They're cute together," says a source close to Gyllenhaal, 29. "But I don't think there's anything to it. Everyone's talking about it. They hung out. But that's it. I don't think they're a couple."
Whether romance blossoms between the two remains to be seen, although the Swift source predicts she'll look outside the entertainment business for long-term love.
"If she does have a serious relationship, it's probably going to be with someone who's not in the industry or someone who's not a household name," the source says. "With Jake, she probably figures, why not be seen together and keep everyone guessing."
Swift's rep couldn't be reached for comment.
"With Jake, she probably figures, why not be seen together and keep everyone guessing."
So nice that publicity whores are proud of themselves :)
I don't think Jake is gay, but he tends to be a publicity whore from time to time.
Oh, you must mean Jake's publicity whoring for 2,5 years. I'm sure all BI celebrities are doing the same.
I like how neither of their reps commented, just sources. Very sneaky and whorish for them both!
There is no need for reps to comment anything, commenting every celebrity hanging out would be stupid.
Ouch, very bad review from Todd McCarthy:
indi wire
In Contention also gave LAOD a negative review.
Yeah, I know. The reviews will be mixed, for sure.
Ouch. :(
Taylor looks like a younger version of Kiki.
I think Kiki is genuinely cute. Swift reminds me of a younger squinty Renee Zellwegger.
1. What weight has the Variety review? Loved it.
2. My secret wish is to follow a parallel universe timeline where Ang Lee would have distributed Heath as Jack and Jake as Ennis.
3. Has anyone written a fan-fic with this alternative cast? Please link to it.
My secret wish is to follow a parallel universe timeline where Ang Lee would have distributed Heath as Jack and Jake as Ennis.
In Annie Proulx's short story Jack was dark haired, more muscular, shorter and Ennis blond, thinner, taller. Jake as Jack and Heath as Ennis was flawless casting. Why would you want it reversed, to see Heath as Jack bend over for Jake as Ennis? ;)
I'm a JIG believer. (I also believe Jake was technically bi in his much younger days, which is very typical because of normal experimentation plus let's face it: penises don't pass up an opportunity to blow a load, especially at that hormonally-charged age!). I don't care if someone else is a JIS/JIB believer: that's their prerogative. Everyone has a right to their perceptions and opinion. The JIG and JIS groups can disagree until the cows come home.
But what does irritate me is when one group treads on the others' forum to battle and preach. It's an overstepping of boundaries, no matter which side is doing it, period. What's interesting however is I haven't noticed any JIG believers putting up a stake at the JIS sites. Whether it's by respect or disinterest, I don't know. So why are the JIS people here, at a JIG site, picking battles and trying to gain converts? Did they have visions of their Jake-God telling them to spread the JIS word and recruit followers? Umm I don't think so.
So to all you JIS believers posting your dogma on a JIG blog: Stop. Respect our views and let us have our forum, as we do for you. You don't see us constantly trespassing on say, Babble, and bickering with the posters there, do you? No. So take a step back and see what you really look like and what image you are projecting when you come over here to our grounds and pick battles, while we respect yours and leave your sites alone. If the Jake JIG/JIS camps were countries, which one would be democratic and which one would be communistic? It's like we're Poland and you're Hitler invading and trying to take over. No one likes a Hitler, and that's exactly what you look like when you come over here.
Oy vey. That Todd McCarthy review is bad. McCarthy is one of the BEST film critics in the business. He was Variety's reigning film critic for 20 years until Variety got cheap and replaced him with someone MUCH cheaper. He was such an institution Anne Thompson hired him for Indiewire. Recently, Janice Min of Hollywood Reporter hired him to be their main film critic again--I don't think he has started yet with HR--but I think he'll continue to blog with Indiewire. Honestly, he's a VERY well respected and smart critic.
I'm really curious what Ebert, Travers, Roeper, A.O. Scott (or Manola Dargis), Anthony Lane and even Rex Reed will have to say...
Jake as Ennis and Heath as Jack.
It would create more delight for me at least, when actors show their versatility. What now seems inimaginable would have become possible by having them cast both ways.
^^ the understanding of this blog is about ToothyTile, or at least I thought it was. Ted's ToothyTile WAS bisexual when this story started and he was dating a woman during the begining. I guess all of those things should be disregared.
Is this a Toothy Tile blog or a
Jake is GAY blog. Please let me know. Since all posters are supposed to be able to express their opinions about what they think is going on as it pretains to Jake or Austin, there should be no pro Jake is Gay posters spewing venom when a poster does not agree with their opinions of him being other than gay.
Is this a Jake is Gay blog or a ToothyTile blog as in Waiting For ToothyTile (WFT)2?
Also, the disclaimer claims to be for entertainment purposes only. (??) Why are some so upset about anothers opinion??
Everybody is talking how disgusting it is to see the "brother" watching the sex tape between Jake and Anne. I'm surprised that the scene wasn't cut off in the editing room.
Besides,I'm so tired of comic relief characters being always uglier and less pretty than the main characters. What? Good looking people can't be ridiculized too?
I watched the trailer the other day and i didn't like that Jake's character pretends to be an intern to stare at Anne's boobs. I didn't think it was cute,funny or sexy.Just creepy and totally uncool.
I believe LAOD is going to be a hit,though. I think Jake is finally doing a character that everybody wants to see by him:
the comical,goofy,attractive guy who gets the girl at the end because she can't say no to his charm. This is how the majority of the public wants to see Jake as.
No action heroes or dramatic thrillers. This Jamie character is like a Jake in an alternative universe (the one where he is straight)
but I also predicted Persian Prince was going to be successful, so..... :(
Thank you to the JIS how dare you call him gay because it's so horrible to say that about anyone, I really had a good laugh reading your ridiculous arguments. And kudos to the posters doing battle.
Great post 9:10.
I was really disgusted by the brother's character in LAOD, didn't want to say anything about it as it seemed spoilerish to do so.
Since when do you care what Ted says. Besides Toothy Tile has never, ever been described as bisexual. In one post Ted said he wanted to "come out as bisexual", which is a completely different thing.
Since then Ted has answered several letters and said that Jake is gay.
I wondered after reading if that was what the OMG'ers were referring to also. :(
The JIS sites aren't democracies; everything gets deleted post haste. :)
9:10, you must be new. There used to be battle royals where both sides trolled each other. The difference is, the JIS autocracies are ruthless with the delete buttons. The JIG sites are naively egalitarian. I often wonder why they just don't ban the trolls outright, but they must derive some benefit from the traffic.
Hey hackers, you better look over your shoulder right now. I may be right behind you with a sword. You mess with my woman, you mess with me.

^^The bearding has affected his concept of reality.
'Todd McCarthy"
Never heard of him or the other "bad review". Why isn't that everytime Jake is linked to a girl, he pro gay fans want him fail at the box office. The guy liked Jake and Anne but not the screenplay itself, like I said I never heard of him.
Stop wishing Jake's career will fail, he won't come out just to pissed you off. He will marry a girl have sweet babies and have guys on side while remaining in the closet. If he's gay that is. This blog certainly is not a fan of Jakes because you don't highlight the good reviews and there are many.
Jake will never ever come out whether he has a box offce hit or not, get over it.
JIS fans are the ones who pushed him way back into the closet.
"'Todd McCarthy"
Never heard of him "
He was a Variety critic until he got fired, now he writes reviews for his blog.
But what does irritate me is when one group treads on the others' forum to battle and preach.
Thanks, 9:10. Well-said and that goes for your entire post. Funny how someone keeps saying it's a waste of time to argue as they continue to argue and preach, lol.

Oooh, what a big strong man defending his woman! Even a straight guy saying that about his gf would sound stupid, lol.

Damn, that is disgusting. Who in the hell thought that would be funny?
Besides,I'm so tired of comic relief characters being always uglier and less pretty than the main characters. What? Good looking people can't be ridiculized too?
Amen. Such a cliche, and we're really supposed to believe Jake and the brother come from the same gene pool? Looks like they bookended Jake with not one, but two chubby unattractive guys with the brother and with Oliver Platt's character, which is unnecessary because he's so good looking. No need to set up such stark a contrast. I'll believe directors like Zwick when they say they're going for "realism" by showing their beautiful actors with perfect bodies naked and having sex when they do the same with unattractive characters. I get why they cast beautiful people in the lead roles, but cut the b.s. about realism. I think the movie will do well, though, it'll be good for Jake and Anne if it does.
BT, hurry and grow up and write your lifestory expose book. In the meantime please yell "DaddyJake!" and "DaddyAustin!" and "My two gay Daddies!" really really loud over and over in public every chance you get.
Wouldn't it be great if BT's egg donor/surrogate mother/baby agency/doctor/hospital/nanny (any of these) filed a lawsuit (for any reason)?!
really really loud over and over in public every chance you get.
If they ever let me out of the basement in the safe house I will!
Daddy, I saw those stalkers from OMG outside my window again

Well, I guess if you've never heard of Todd McCarthy, then his review doesn't count...
Honestly, the more I read about LAOD, the more disgusted I get. Jake and Anne's character make a sex tape and then Jake's brother in the film jerks off to it? FUNNY! That just makes me lapse into nonstop hysterics. NOT.
