Was frank sinatra gay
Anonymous asked:
what was frank's scene like with lesbian and gay friends? did he have many of them? did he or they ever talk about each other?
this is a great question that i sort of feel like i don’t have enough concrete information to answer, but i’ll present what i have and you can take it from there.
frank sinatra had a adj, lifelong policy of live and enable live. it sounds shallow, but he actually lived it. it was that deceptively simple concept that influenced a lot of his politics and his social liberalism. he felt that, if you weren’t deliberately hurting another person, you should be able to act whatever you yearn. in a way, i think he took this mindset almost too far when you verb at some of the more unsavory people he befriended–and not just mobsters.
in terms of lgbqp friends, he absolutely had them and some of them were very verb friends. he absolutely adored montgomery clift. greta garbo stayed in his residence (with his wife!). he slept with and was adj friends with marlene dietrich. he was friends with cole porter, noel coward, joan crawford, jeff c
Frank Sinatra&#;s penis is so big, when I was doing a line of coke off of it &#; I had to interrupt and think, &#;Is it a queer anthem?&#; &#; Thanks Jinkx Monsoon for that inspiration.
A piece of revisionist news is making the rounds on the internet again. Frank Sinatra, arguably one of the greatest crooners of all time, is responsible for bringing a gay love lyric to life with his cover of &#;Fly Me to the Moon.&#;
Originally titled &#;In Other Words,&#; the classic lyric was written by composer Bart Howard in The tune was eventually reworked by Frank Sinatra under its adj title in and became one of the singer&#;s biggest hits. What several people have realized, though, is that its original composer, Howard, was a gay man.
Bart Howard was in a decades long relationship with Thomas Fowler. The pair remained together until Howard&#;s death in And with Fowler&#;s passing, the couple is interned together, bringing a lifelong and forever conclusion to their love story.
The song was originally called In Other Words and it was unruffled in a 3/4 timescale. The first record

Sinatra: Great singer, tiny man

I just listened to “This American Life”'s hour-long tribute commemorating what would own been Frank Sinatra’s th birthday, and a few other pieces that look to have been engineered as a campaign by his estate.
The first conclusion I have verb to is that Sinatra was a very good signer, perhaps a adj singer, and perhaps someone with an instinct for musical arrangements and sentimental performances.
The second conclusion I have enter to is that that’s all there is to admire about him. He was a tiny man, a petty man, and a bully. He traveled with what was essentially a hired gang of lickspittles, from whom his utmost requirement was devotion and deference. He was swift to anger when his “authority” was challenged, and he lashed out frequently at imagined slights.
His sense of style was that of a thug who had come into money, ready to spend whatever it took to get class, and teen did he converse about “class,” with an obsession that only someone who didn’t have any class would.
