Was Marilyn Monroe Really a Gay Man?

George Bush denied he was slow to react when he heard about the recent hurricane that devastated New Orleans and other coastal areas. He claimed he immediately called the French government and asked if they’d like to buy Louisiana back.

I was in a California restaurant and couldn’t help overhearing this beautiful woman telling her date over and over that she could not understand why he or anyone would ever want to date simple little her. The woman seemed to be totally oblivious to how beautiful she was. Unfortunately, the entire restaurant could not fail to overhear her comments. Finally, the waiter saved the day. He went up to her and explained “look, you’re beautiful and it is obvious this guy wants to date you. Even I would want to date you, and I’m married to another man.”

This is a horrible oversimplification, but I have noticed that Pennsylvania women to be more overweight (we are among the heaviest state per capita, so this is statistically true), dress more casual, yet they insist they are beautiful. Often, I overhear 300 pound women in Pennsylvania restaurants insisting their dates tell them they are beautiful: “tell me I’m beautiful, tell me, tell me” followed by a cowering gentleman in a fetal position in his chair telling his date how beautiful she is. Now, in California, (and maybe this is more cultural because beauty is important in the leading entertainment business as well as along all the beaches), women tend to be more beautiful, but they don’t perceive themselves as beautiful. Even Marilyn Monroe used to walk around telling people she is not beautiful. Marilyn, if you think you weren’t beautiful, I don’t know what you Californians think beauty is.

Incidentally, how did Marilyn Monroe get to be a male gay icon? What about Marilyn Monroe is the slightest resemblance to male homosexuality?
