Wait a minute....was Rip Taylor gay?!

[RandomKoolzip]

Seriously, it never occurred to me until a couple nights ago, probably since I hadn't seen any of his performances on TV since I was but a wee sprout. But now that I think about it.....Dude was gay, right?

1. I never saw him out of character

Unless he WAS that character.

:shrug:

I only found out last week that Ol' Dirty Bastard had died, so what the hey.

10. here's a picture of Rip Taylor kissing a man

This still doesn't prove it, though.

13. Has he ever "come out?"

If he ISN'T gay, that would mean the guy's been milking a heinous and outdated stereotype for cheap laughs his entire career.

If he IS gay, well then...boogie on, reggae Ripster.

11. Both Rip's are alive and well,

Rip Torn is known for his roles in 'The Larry Sanders Show' and 'Men in Black.'


And Rip Taylor, well he's known for confetti, I think?
