No, he's not gay. He's in the 97% of normal people. The 3% who are gay have suffered some difficulty in their sexual identity years.

Does he have a thin top lip? It's a sure sign of 'gayness'. Trust my instincts!

Well, I have wondered myself...I mean, 'who drove the red sportstcar'?.. James Dean?
But then there was that episode with Linda Gail Lewis... having said that, people are nasty and I have been accused of racism & being gay myself...but i am happily married to an African girl..
But then again I do have a thin top lip.. *?^@!? how does that work out with black people then?
They have thick lips but some are still gay.

The thin top lip thing was proven in a peer-reviewed study conducted by the Los Angeles Neurological Institute. Now gay guys use it instead of their "gaydar" to avoid entrapment by cops. It must really suck to be gay. Notice that's a sympathetic statement, lacking in condemnation. (I don't want to be charged with something)

Apparently it doesn't suck to be gay--but who knows? Is Van Morrison gay? That's a difficult answer.
The picture of the very young Van on Wikipedia make me wonder since that's a very Irish picture and I knew intimately a young Irish guy who looked just like that and at that time he did gay things. So maybe in the beginning he was but he has a daughter and did straight things. Who knows these things.
We are what we do. That's just who we are--no labels--just us in this strange world. Stew has it right in "Passing Strange"--Adulthhood is the consequence of decisions and choices made by a
teenager.
From the northern US and from someone who is very Irish with all the Irish problems and joys

Ausable, did this young Irish man do gay things to you? I suspect you want us to know. Did you grow out of it?

I'd like to support ausable in his current difficulties. Nothing is as coherent as repressed memories.

It's weird that this forum is the most popular. Shows how horrible we Van fans are. What about his music?

I don't think Van's music is very "Gay Friendly". Except for "Madam George". Is he talking about his own cross dressing in that song?

Not very. His taste in clothes is enough. And he has bad hair.

Van is not gay. His type never are. Why would you expect him to be gay? Less than 3% are gay.

What about the song "Madame George"? It seems to be about a transsexual. It was ripped off by Rod Stewart in his "Killing of Georgie" about the murder of a transsexual. Anyway, Van Morrison's first name is George. Is he saying he's a transsexual? A cross dresser? I guess a blonde wig would hide his bald head.

Van is not gay. He's always been attracted by women.

I didn't really want to write anything. I just clicked on because there were 666 visits. I didn't want the devil's number linked to Van.

Thanks Jez. Someone had to do it. Anyway, Van isn't gay. I hit on him in a club and there was no response. And I'm a gorgeous guy. Great abs, tall, great dancer, smart, funny - a great date for any man. So Van showed he was heterosexual. Proved it to me.

He's not gay. Hey is Cliff Richard gay? Paul Schaeffer is. And Paul Lind was.

Van Morrison is not gay. He's got terrible curtains.

Van is married to Michelle Rocca, former Miss Ireland. Why would any man choose to be gay when women are so great? Something has to happen to people in his or her childhood or early adolescence to cause the 'gayness'. All may gay friends have been abused when they were young.

Many gays have been abused when they were young. They then abuse by paying for rent boys. Disgusting. Van isn't like that.

Van doesn't have a homosexual boner in his body.

Van isn't gay because he was never molested in a public toilet when he was young or by a family 'friend'. Simple as that.

Van is unlikely to be homosexual because relatively few people are. It is somewhere between 3 and 5%. Lefthandedness is much more common. So much is made of the gay issue because it just seems so bizarre to heterosexuals. It is also a total rejection of the other gender. Lesbian have no need for men and male homosexuals have no need for women.

What gays do is disgusting. No homosexual ever bought a Van album. He wouldn't let them! It ain't natural.

I'll just quietly laugh at this forum topic. Hilarious.

That can't be the real Gigi Lee? Surely? This is weird.

Van isn't gay, otherwise I wouldn't have a complete collection of his CDs!!!! I gay up my Ricky Martin, George Michael and my Rufus Wainwright CDs a long time ago. Still got my Barbra Streisand and my Judy Garland albums, though!!!!!!!!!!

Van isn't gay. I tried to crack onto him at the urinal but he'd have none of it. In walked George Michael and everything went pear shaped. Celebrities shouldn't be allowed in toilets.

Van isn't gay. He is a lustful beast about women. He assumes that because he's conquered the music world he can conquer any woman. Yeah, women will sleep with him but they want afew gifts for it.

Van Morrison isn't gay. i've written a coffee table book about publi toilets so I know what I'm talking about. I've seen things that would curl your hair and yes, it's mostly gays acting up in there. Aren't there bars and other pick up joints for homosexuals? There are sometimes incidents where young people are exposed to this shenanigans. Not appropriate.

Van is NOT GAY. He has been married a long time. He is very private about his life.

no way is van gay. every fibre of his being screams masculinity.
If vans gay, boy george is charles atlas. vans voice stirs unspeakable feelings in me. love you always.

Van can be anything he wants but I wanna get the new album when it comes out on October 2 or whatever. Van's sexuality is hidden like a flower about to burst forth in bloom. You gotta leave it alone. Don't mess with a thing like that.

I'm sure Van doesn't want to bleed down there or all those other horrible things gay people get. Parasites in the stomach from fecal matter. Yuk!

Van isn't gay. Like all men he wants regular fiction on the shaft and glans. He can't help it he just wants it. So he will say "I love you" to any woman so he can get that friction on the shaft and glans. That kind of stuff builds up like a shock.

We men are uncomplicated. We want sex that is why there is a huge porn industry. We don't care who is hurt by it. That's us. Stop smoking.

I've learned a lot about the current state of gay issues. Just as long as they don't make gayness compulsory. I find it so crazy but I know I must pretend to be tolerant. Hey, you gay blades out there - could you please stop kissing on public busses in front of the kiddies? Enoughs enough you guys. Hey, I'm just being your best friend. I don't judge you just because you do sick things. I love all people and they can come into my shop and spend money anytime.

When you say "gay", define "gay"? And also are we talking about the real Van Morrison or Vince McConaghy who replaced him in the 70s? I'm getting a lot of mail about the rumours. What's going on? I know Vince McConaghy isn't gay, but Van may have been. Is this why he quit the music biz? I don't want to swim in murky waters any more.

Gay or not Van is so damn good. "One less lonely Girl" is brilliant.

It doesn't matter anymore. We're all gay according to a guy I met in a public toilet. So celebrate that.

Let's finish this now. No one is born gay. They have to have been interfered with in a toilet block when they were beginning to identify as their gender. Van was never molested. Being gay must suck big time with all the bleeding and diseases and stuff. The vagina was designed to accommodate the male penis in a loving way.

Camp as a row of tents with all the hair dye and stuff.

Respond to me, Viscero!

I'm fascinated by this forum and repelled at the same time. I guess I'm like a magnet. One end repels you know. So like "magnetic charm" may also drive you away. My job as a cleaner encourages me to make sweeping statements.

All this borders on the inane tittering you hear near floats in a gay Mardi Gras. If everyone was homosexual the human species would die out, so therefore it obviously isn't "natural". It goes against nature. As far as same sex couples adopting kids - well, you had a mother and father. Did they supply very different things in your upbringing? Why deprive kids of that? A mnother and father are complimentary. Homosexuality isn't complimentary. Gay sex is difficult and uncomfortable. Males have to resort to enemas. Females have to strap on unhealthy plastic items. None of that is "naturally" good for the body. Relax, you feel a thing.

If Van isn't gay why did he do so much work with the notorious gay Brian Kennedy? Is it just the music that matters? Does sexuality matter? Van said Brian had a "great set of pipes". What's that about? Brian is a non-smoker.

What is gay anyway? We are all heterosexual in our nature. Women menstruate to prepare an egg. Men ejaculate to fertilize an egg. So our sexuality is straight. The same sex attraction is just in the mind. If you're gay I can hypnotize you out of it. Simple. I made a guy think he was a chicken.

I don't care how gay Van Morrison is. I know male hormone decreases as one gets older. That can lead to "feeling gay". But gayness is just a state of mind. Cure it and cure pedophilia while you're down there too.

Does homophobia mean fear of homosexuality? We shouldn't hate gay people but I'm not going to c lie rate their bizarre lifestyle! . You can't cater for every minority group! But hating homosexuals is wrong. That is immoral. However, saying anal intercourse is normal is just weird.

You're suggesting he's gay but what about the six new genders we have out there? He could be anything.

Really, guys we're better than this! Homosexuality isn't something you talk about in good company. Let's get over ourselves and agree to disagree. Simple.
