Was steve mcqueen gay
High Tea Dreams
So Steve was a Queen. According to notorious biographer, Darwin Porter. There is more gay sex contained in these pages than even George Michael could manage. I needed asbestos gloves to safeguard myself from the social diseases leaping off the write. The author is one sick bastard. He lives with cats in a New York municipality apartment. Of course he would. It’s ridiculous semi-fiction, with personal conversations somehow “recorded” and enough smutty talk to fill a swamp. I was laughing every other paragraph or so from the way this writer lays out each scene for us. This is like two schoolgirls gossiping behind the bike sheds. Dude, this dude Porter must have been a very working fly on many walls. Where is a swat when you need one?!
His mother was a prostitute and so was he. After being kicked out of her apartment “for organism too gay” by his mother’s boyfriend/girlfriend, Steve McQueen spent months hustling men on the down low. At one point he finds himself in a bar, trying to sell his body to any passersby while his valued old Mama is doing the alike thing just a few feet away. He joins the navy and gets to play cards with President Harry Truman.
When I finally got him into bed, I taught him who the man was."

They first met on the set of Somebody Up There Likes Me(1956, rooftop photo below). McQueen approached Newman and propositioned him after engaging in crude, even insulting banter. Newman later told his friend Janice Rule that as they ended their conversation, McQueen planted a wet, sloppy kiss on him. With tongue.
Thus began a rivalrous relationship that was frequently acrimonious. McQueen turned down Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid(1969) because he wouldn’t accept second billing to Newman. The two fought like cats and dogs over the positioning of their names on the movie poster for Towering Inferno(1974). McQueen was a brash liar, but Newman found himself strangely attracted to him, and there was evident sexual tension between the two. But Paul was also having a sexual relationship with Sal Mineo at the time, and Mineo had fallen madly in love with him and wanted to live together as a couple. When Paul rejected that offer, Mineo attempted suicide.
By this time Newman had moved his mistress, Joanne Woodward, into the Ch
Terrence Stephen McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980)[4] was an American actor. His antihero persona, emphasized during the height of the counterculture of the 1960s, made him a top box-office outline for his films of the late 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. He was nicknamed the "King of Cool" and used the alias Harvey Mushman in motor races. McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Sand Pebbles (1966). His other popular films include Love With the Proper Stranger (1963), The Cincinnati Kid (1965), Nevada Smith (1966), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), Bullitt (1968), Le Mans (1971), The Getaway (1972), and Papillon (1973). In addition, he starred in the all-star ensemble films The Magnificent Seven (1960), The Great Escape (1963), and The Towering Inferno (1974).

The Rogue Feature Star
We are, however, not restricted by a dictionary definition, are we? He certainly wrote the book on poor boy but that doesn't quite cover it either. Abused on a number of levels as a child, he grew up to be an abuser himself, saying I live for myself and I address to nobody. Despite three marriages, he was a notorious womanizer and one who simply vanished for periods of time. It was whispered he had same-sex attracted flings as adv, quick and furtive, but he was also notoriously homophobic. Secrets were kept in the 60s for the world's most popular actor. He abused booze and especially drugs, all sorts of drugs, his entire adult life. He was hell on wheels (he would have beamed at that expression)
