"Queers" didn't Appear Much in the Old Time Movies and TV


Back when J. Edgar Hoover's close acquaintances would describe him among each other as "...queer, a fairy..." (see  Evidence of Revision movie #3 at between 13:00 and 14:40 elapsed). In 1932  there was a chain gang movie with a lisping, limp wrist, effeminate inmate, in the part of the cook for the other convicts, with his own little chuck wagon hook up, avoiding the road work. 
"I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang" (1932) was an award winning expose' of brutal conditions suffered by prisoners in the southern United States. After being stunned by the novelty of seeing a gay character in such an old flick, it proved revealing about peoples' sensitivities in that era, no one in the film called 'the Cook' names and he was not shunned, he was treated the same except for his preening jokes and gags which drew guffaws. Characters were well written and immediately real.
"Will and Grace," was phony. Straight people don't speak and interact with gay people as portrayed in that show. I'm straight and it embarrassed me to see the two gay men portrayed as so needy and unstable they each had a female keeper, a mommy figure; the gay cook character in the chain gang movie received more respect from his fellow convicts than those two ever got on TV.





The Marriage Contract
Way before the shit hit the fan with the gay marriage issue; 30 years ago I worked with a waiter who was flaming, nobody asked him or provoked him to comment on his identity; we were all grown people, he was what he appeared to be.


What it is is you live and let live.




Gay Marriage—My idea whereby same sex couples can enter into a contract legally identical to straight marriage, but would forgo the legal designation of the word marriage, one mere word. Whether out of respect, pity for, care for the feelings of others who are taught marriage is a sacrament of the church, whatever—remember churches were in the marrying business way before government started charging a fee to license you to get married, the two do not relate, separation of church and state ought not allow government to burden the public with altering a well known traditional entity and custom of the people practiced in church, standing the teaching of centuries right on its head, church teaching about what is and isn't marriage predates the Magna Carta the oldest document , and government reordering what began and is historically a church, mosque and temple issue, right up to now, may well face a legal argument that could really hurt their cause.


Hostility exists on both sides of the issue.
I remember when civil unions were the prize to keep their eye on. I believe if the gay lobby would relent, compromise on this particular issue, the most devisive vis-a-vis the Church; public support would grow to get this done and over with and provide gay partners with the property rights and civil rights sought, access to a companion's sick bed in a hospital, providing equal inheritance rights, health care benefits earned by one spouse made available to the other, the right not to be forced to testify against one another in court: all the original complaints might be resolved just put a different sticker on it that people will accept and live with, because it'll be just another government regulation, like wearing your seat belt.

ALEX KARRAS STILL Belongs in Pro Football Hall of Fame

ALEX KARRAS STILL
Belongs in Pro Football Hall of Fame


Life—April 26, 1963

'Hornung and Karras fired'

"Their suspension was the finale to

three months of rumor and speculation

that began when George Halas, owner

of the Chicago Bears, announced that

pro players were being investigated

for their shady associations. his

statement propelled the

scandal-conscious NFL into a paroxysm

of soul searching that eventually

involved eight clubs and 52

interviews.

"Nothing criminal was brought to

light.Neither Hornung or Karras was

guilty of fixing, dumping, betting

against his own team, or of ever

giving less than his best on the

field. But according to League

Commissioner Pete Rozelle, they had

committed a cardinal sin by

habitually betting on games in the

league—Karras up to $100 bets;

Hornung  up to $500.

"Quantity and frequency of dollars

bet were large factors in the

decision. Five Lions got off with

$2000 fines because they had made but

one $50 bet apiece. Other players

were reprimanded for dabbling in $1

football pools."

Karras was a owner of the bar (Lindell's AC—like a hall of fame, see http://d-townballer.blogspot.com/2007/01/not-really-problems-opportunities.html ) in

Detroit that was rumored to have

organized crime ties in addition to

reports of on-site gambling. The NFL

threatened to suspend Karras if he

didn't give up his ownership. At

first, he threatened retirement

before severing his ties, but he

ultimately cut himself loose and

admitted to gambling on NFL games.


In 1963, he was forced to sit out the

entire 14  game season, deemed by

ESPN the #2 most shocking football

moment:

"2. Karras and Hornung suspended for

gambling (April 17, 1963)

Paul Hornung, the Green Bay Packers

running back who had scored an NFL

record 176 points in 1960 and been

named MVP in 1961, and Alex Karras,

the Detroit Lions All-Pro defensive

tackle, were suspended by Pete

Rozelle for betting on NFL games and

associating with gamblers. Hornung,

said Rozelle, had bet up to $500 on

NFL games, and Karras, he said, had

placed at least a half dozen $50-$100

bets.

"Both players sat out for a full

season, before being reinstated. Five

other Detroit players were fined for

betting on the 1962 championship

game.

Hornung apologized. "I made a

terrible mistake," he said. "I am

truly sorry." Still, he was later

inducted to the Pro Football Hall of

Fame."

ball/shocking/moments.html


Nailed for practically identical

gambling allegations, Hornung was

admitted to the Hall of Fame in

1986—25 years ago. Karras has been

denied this honor, the football glory

HOF election signifies.

Teammates DICK LeBEAU, DICK (NIGHT

TRAIN) LANE, LEM BARNEY, YALE LARY

and JOE SCHMIDT all members of the

HOF; played on a superlative

defensive unit fielded by the Lions

during Mr. Karras' career: 1958-1970,

during which he was bestowed the

following honors:

Except for the season-long suspension

imposed by Commissioner Pete Rozelle,

Karras missed one (1) game, in

1970—his final season.

Mr. Karras was a member of a

legendary Fearsome Foursome at left

Defensive Tackle, (LDT), along with

Roger Brown (RDT-1960-1966), Darris

McCord (LDE-1955-1967), and Sam

Williams (RDE-1960-1965); before

sacks were counted as a statistic.

The suspension 49 years ago created a

prejudice against an Alex Karras HOF

vote. Lack of an apology and public

remorse has kept him from his

rightfully earned place in Canton.

Alex Karras remains one of the most

stellar role models to have played

pro ball. He is a published author

and famous actor of screen and

television.

This year's finalists, Michael Irvin

and Shannon Sharpe both played

through media invented and hyped scandals. *

Both men will address family, friends

and fans when inducted this August;

honored for on-the-field exploits.  


*Michael Irvin for cocaine use. 
Shannon Sharpe's name was on the lips of every NFL analyst for using creatine, dangling the tacit implication
of unfair enhanced performance.

A tempest in a teapot. "Creatine was first discovered and isolated in muscle tissue in 1832 by French chemist Michel Chevreul. The compound is a naturally occurring, non-essential amino acid found in red meat, pork, dairy products, and fish. Most people take in approximately 1-2 grams (g) of dietary creatine from these sources daily (vegetarians somewhat less). Together, the kidneys, liver, and pancreas produce an additional 1-2 g of creatine daily, synthesized from the amino acids L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine. Both creatine and phosphocreatine (which is creatine bound to phosphate; PCr, Crphos) are stored in skeletal muscle, organs, and body tissues. Phosphocreatine helps to power muscle contractions and decrease the amount of time the muscle takes to recover and "refuel."...
...a number of clinical studies have looked at both the ergogenic (output enhancing effect) and therapeutic benefits of creatine.Because creatine is considered a nutritional supplement, it is available legally and without a prescription in the United States. As of early 2002, creatine supplementation was not explicitly prohibited by the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Football League (NFL), and other major national athletic organizations."
