Being wimpy doesn't make one gay. Barney Fife was one of the wimpiest characters ever and I've never heard anyone refer to him as being gay.

Jude The Obscure · 06-11-2008, 09:45 PM

OK, there is nothing to indicate to me that Jack was gay. And if he was, so what?

Pavan · 06-11-2008, 11:31 PM

He had different girlfriends in almost every episode, so how is that gay?

Mr. Television · 06-12-2008, 12:16 AM

None of the men on that show were masculine. Larry, Roper and Furley were wimps too. That's why they were funny.

Well, yeah, he was a bit effeminate at times but that didn't make him gay.

i don't know if you ever watched the show, but the whole point was that he was ACTING gay ON PURPOSE to fool the landlords into letting him share an apartment with two girls.

MikeLutton · 06-12-2008, 03:07 AM

people take charactors n tv so seriousley if u did not see it from the start must not know what u talking about.

jack acting kind whimpy was his charactor it what made him funny like furley n roper and course larry if they didnt show be boring n not as funny n classic as we know it today.

hope that came out ok just trying give my opinoin

Loopie63 · 06-12-2008, 09:30 AM

To me he had feminine manurisms. I don't know of any women out there including me that would find that sexy.

yes I know he was to act gay when the ropers and furley were around.

Jude The Obscure · 06-12-2008, 09:36 AM

What feminine mannerisms? And a guy is not to ever suppose to show a sensitive side? I'm not trying to be argumentative......just trying to understand what reasons you say this.

Loopie63 · 06-12-2008, 10:34 AM

A sensitive side and feminine manurisms are 2 entirely different things.

TVFactFan · 06-12-2008, 10:55 AM

The only gay thing I remember Jack doing is Flirting with one of the girls BOYFRIENDS when he came to the house and jack said-"Are these for me?

you never joke around like that with a straight man
