Are they supposed to be gay?

And that could be my bad in claiming that Simon was gay.
I could have sworn that when he died I saw something about a male partner that was in his will or that survived him.
Instead what I came across was a mention that his first wife starred in Goodbye Girl and his current one with their kids was with him when he passed.
So I dunno what I saw the first time or where it was.
Perhaps it was from Toy Cannon on his RIP thread for Simon.
TC is known for spreading falsehoods in his "obit" threads.
Like he claimed that Tom Petty was dead before he actually was.
And that Larry King died of Covid when he did not.
So I would not be surprised if that is where I saw a possible BS claim that Simon was gay.
Funny thing is that when I Google, "Was Neil Simon gay," a lot of hits also asking about the Odd Couple being gay come back! -

Yeah, like the one I posted above about Neil Simon and his affinity with the LGBT community and how
The Odd Couple
was made to appeal to gays in more homophobic times.

Toy Cannon is a weird dude now that you mention him.
First, is that black guy in his avatar pic him?
Second, he's generally a decent guy but I got in a bizarre argument with him once on the Politics board.
So if he trolls, that explains a lot.

No.
That is the baseball player he got his screen name from who had the weird nickname of Toy Cannon.
Whatever the **** that is supposed to mean.
Maybe a nickname for his dick?
I know what you mean.
Myself and others thought that poster TC was black because of his choice of Avi.
Second, he's generally a decent guy but I got in a bizarre argument with him once on the Politics board.
Yeah, once he called me a "son of a bitch" and then later on that same day he had to go to the hospital for a serious medical condition!
Talk about karma!
LOL
Another time he pointed out that his family members were part of the cruel "sport" of horse racing.
I dunno if you are aware of how brutal it really is for the horses.
Like there are lots, not just a few, but lots of them who get injured and lose their lives on the track each year.
They are forced to run with injuries.
The majority go to slaughter houses, even the winners, when they are retired.
I pointed out how his family was involved with this cruelty and he was in denial and defended those ****ers.
So yeah. The death hag sometimes seems OK but then turns into a real dirt eater when he gets mad where you might bring up any objections in anything he posts.
He thinks his **** don't stink. -

"The death hag"?
I wasn't sure who that is in his avatar. It's a pleasant enough looking guy but he looks a bit like an overgrown dwarf.

Death hag is a term for fans of celeb deaths that I picked up off of the Find A Death website.
Started by Scott Michaels who also started the Dearly Departed Tours which takes you to famous and infamous places around H.Wood showing things related to famous ppl who died.
It is one of my favorite websites which describes the final moments of a lot of actors and actresses in the directory.
Check it out if interested.

Yeah an inside name or joke on the website and among his fans, I guess.
He even had "Death Hag" bumper stickers and would post pics where folks laid them on celebs grave markers.
They didn't stick them on though. -

Thank you.
Yes.
"Real Sports" is a 60 Min. type of show on HBO only it is all about inside and investigative reporting on just sport topics.
One of those was horse racing which was a real eye opener.
Even though I am against all of it, it did show that America is totally cruel to the horses where in Europe they do not mistreat them. -

Horse racing is a cruel and brutal sport…They're whipped to run faster. It's inhumane. It should be outlawed.
I agree to an extent. Horses though were also used as a mode of transportation.
While designed to run, they were also whipped just to take their passengers from A to B faster, be it horseback, stagecoach, cart. It doesn't mean that their owner didn't not appreciate or respect them.
Its more about the gambling aspect associated with animal racing and how the animal is being exploited for human profit.

There is no justification ever for any animal cruelty and that includes whipping horses.
At this phase in time there really isn't, yet in the past and withing the context of horses, it was just a part of the dynamic of living and owning horses for various reasons, even for farmers to use them to plough fields. The nature of the beast of the horse and its use for humans, has still filtered down into the sporting arena.
There are many questionable sports too that have a following for profit that don't even involve animals, only human animals.
There are also many that get on their soap box about animal cruelty and yet can be the biggest carnivores around and eat mass, cruelly produced meat products.

Exactly! Never, ever! Not ever, under any circumstance, not ever!
There is no absolute with this Lil. There are ALWAYS extenuating circumstances and situations.
I'm not into horse racing for the fact of the animal exploitation for profit. The animal itself can run like the wind and what it is designed to do.
Most animal flesh foods that peeps eat are cruelly raised and slaughtered. Not to mention seafood animals like lobsters and crabs placed into boiling oil and water when still alive. I can't believe people think this is acceptable.
Humans can be such hypocritical phonies and virtue for one thing, but then go ahead and do another.

No, never an excuse for animal cruelty. Never, not ever. None.
There are degrees Lil with everything and peeps get all sensitive about animal cruelty, but don't care what humans do to each other half the time.

Humans have a fighting chance with each other.
Animals are innocent and have no idea what's going on. Men (people) take advantage of their innocence and ignorance and abuse that. There's no excuse for that.
I feel the same as when people abuse children and their innocence and trust.
They're not on equal footing.
There's never any excuse to abuse animals or children.
Humans fighting each other on equal footing, adults can make their own informed choices. I can get behind that as thinking creatures informed and armed with facts. Fair is fair.

Not all humans are on equal footing either and kids are cruel to each other.
Do you eat animal flesh foods Lil?
