I guess this makes up the recent lack of gay threads.

And speaking of things Minnelli, Vincente always set off my gaydar. Maybe Mama liked marrying gay men too? Why would any heterosexual woman marry a gay man? I just don't get that. It's like the woman is setting herself up to have her self-esteem constantly battered. I mean, why try to be involved with someone who will never be genuinely and passionately interested? Friends, yes, companions, sure, confidantes, well, why not? But married? what's the point of that? I've heard stories about wealthy and powerful men who have secret affairs with (usually) young men, and supposedly the wives aren't interested in sex, so it's all okay. I guess everyone makes compromises to keep a marriage going, but there's not enough money in the world for me to tolerate such a sham (and sexless) relationship. And then there are the marriages of appearance that, for some unknown reason (movies maybe?), I associate with the 1940s and 1950s (in the U.S.), where a gay man and a lesbian get married, and then have their own separate relationships, but is that done anymore? I don't get the impression that's what the Liza and David marriage was about, so, what in the world was she thinking? And if David "didn't know"... (is that possible? at his age?), well, that's another set of unanswerable (by me) questions altogether...
