Larry Flynt on Bill Clinton, Giuliani, and the next GOP "outing"

[NYCGirl]

Hustler publisher Larry Flynt opens up to Vanity Fair’s Bruce Handy on several top politicos in the forthcoming issue of Vanity Fair.

On Giuliani: "As mayor of New York, would you live in an apartment with three gay guys?” Flynt asks.“I don’t hate gays. But I don’t want to live in an apartment full of them. They’ll bitch and cry and all. That doesn’t bother Giuliani. It doesn’t bother Giuliani to put a dress on to do Saturday Night Live. I don’t trust him. I don’t think he’s electable.” (Giuliani moved in with a gay male couple after his separation from Donna Hanover.)

On meeting Bill Clinton: “The first thing he did was come over and grab my hand and say, ‘You’re my hero.’ ” Flynt says Clinton chastised the Hustler publisher for not publishing details of Republican Bob Livingston’s extramarital sex life. (A Clinton spokesman says the former president recalls the conversation differently).

On his next Republican "outing": “The other shoe’s going to drop any day,” Flynt says. “It’ll surprise a lot of people that he’s gay. And I’ll bet you he resigns the same day and rides off into the sunset.”

1. Put up or shut up, Larry.

[BuyingThyme]

He's put up big time. I say give him the floor.

[BuyingThyme]

2. There's not enough popcorn

in any of those theaters.

[ronnykmarshall]

3. Bitch and cry?

Fuck off Larry.

[CottonBear]

5. That was a horrible thing for him to say. n/t

[fascisthunter]

12. It Was a Really Bad Stereotype

:yoiks:

[fascisthunter]

13. What Republican Will it Be?

Is it a candidate running for President?

[dbackjon]

28. No doubt

I know many, many straight guys that fit that stereotype far more than myself and other gays.

[CottonBear]

4. Well, it's not Craig and it's not Lott. Who could it be? Lott resigned & Craig is gay.

*anticipation* Is Larry keeping his powder dry and planning an outing for the holiday season?

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

6. Mitch McConnell?

I keep hearing these rumors...

[CottonBear]

8. Could be but Larry said we'd be surprised. We'll have to wait and see. n/t

[OregonBlue]

16. "A lot of people will be surprised", that's because most people aren't political junkies.

Graham?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

18. I vote for Sessions...

He's either a closet gay or Voldemort... I haven't decided yet. :D

[Kucinich4America]

11. Wasn't Mitch "Bug Eyes" McConnell supposed to be on the short list of "future outings"

The senator from KY..... those jokes are gonna write themselves :evilgrin:

[Doctor_J]

7. Yeah, yeah. The DC Madam didn't do anything bad to Vitter's career.

Time to get busy, Larry

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

9. His homophobic comments about gays are despicable

And actually part of it was cut off, at the end of his questioning about Giuliani, he said "Why would he leave his wife to go live with gays?" Uh, because they were his friends, why wouldn't he? Not that I like Giuliani of course, but that doesn't excuse all the homophobic crap Flynt said about Rudy's gay friends.

[CTyankee]

23. Actually, I liked Giuliani for rooming with two gay men. To me, it sounded like he

wanted to be with friends he was comfortable with. I can relate to that. Flynt needs to have more sensitivity training, he sounds really badly out of kilter on gay issues...

[BootinUp]

10. Hilarious LOL. nt

[cali]

14. I detest Flynt.

He's a homophobic creep on top of being a disgusting misogynist.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

25. Larry's disgusting misogyny hasn't been a problem so far to his champions on the Left

This recent outburst of homophobia might be.

[terrya]

15. Really enlightened attitude about gay people, Lar.

"They’ll bitch and cry and all."

Yeah, that's what we do. Bitch and cry and all. Jesus. :eyes:

[Union Thug]

19. Oh quit your bitching and crying already! :-)

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[AndyA]

17. I'm glad Flynt has decided to out some hypocrites, but his comments on gays

in general are just plain wrong.

Not all gays bitch and cry. Not all of them do drag. In fact, most you would never even know are gay from their appearance and the way they act.

On to the next outing, and perhaps Larry will someday get a clue that most gay people can't be identified by stereotypes.

[cali]

20. wow.

his comments are more than wrong. They're naked and ugly bigotry. Fuck him. And his attitude toward women is just as repulsive. He's disgusting. I want nothing to do with that hateful creep even if he does out repukes.

[Happyhippychick]

21. Uhhhh...did we really think that the publisher of "Hustler" is an upstanding guy?

I'm surprised at all of the negative reactions. The guy makes his living by exploiting women, are we surprised that he stereotypes homosexuals? Of course he's scum!

I say use him for what is useful and don't try to dig any deeper. You'll just be disappointed.

[terrya]

22. It doesn't really surprise me.

But he prefaces his stupid remarks with "well, I don't hate gays". And then he makes a rather stupid, homophobic comment. I mean, it's bad enough with comments like that. But don't pull that bullshit "well, I don't hate gays" qualifier beforehand.

I think he's sort of slimy. Period. But I guess he's supposed to have his uses, I guess.

[Happyhippychick]

24. I love homophobes. They always have to point out that

some of their best friends are gay. Who the hell do they think they are fooling?

I have no illusions about Larry Flynt - he's as slimy and sleazy as they come. But if he helps bring down a Republican then I say "bring it on baby!" I can't wait to hear what he has to say.

[William769]

26. I'm putting my money on Romney!

[laylah]

29. For some unknown reason

Romney was the first to pop into my brain also! Remember it here! William769 and Laylah predicted it first! :rofl:

[William769]

30. My Gaydar has always gone off on him.

[rucky]

27. Now I'm wondering why he's really doing this. n/t
