Gay Porn Star Claims He Had Sex with Superman Christopher Reeve

'Superman' star Christopher Reeve had a gay affair with late porn star Cal Culver, a new book has revealed.  Culver, who died in 1987, said that Reeve was not gay but was 'willing to try anything once', says the book Hollywood Babylon Strikes Again. He alleged he had a two-month affair with the star which left Reeve 'liberated', reports dailymail.co.uk.    Culver said he met Reeve when they auditioned for a role on Broadway in the mid-1970s and that he was 'the man of my dreams'.  According to Culver, who appeared in 1971 gay porn film 'Boys In The Sand', he shared a passionate two-month long affair with Reeve. Their relationship ended when Reeve found out that Culver was a gay porn star performing under the name Casey Donovan.  'Christopher was a great lover and I think I liberated him sexually. I didn't think he was gay but he seemed willing to try anything once. He was curious,' Culver said in the now published interview.  Darwin Porter, who has co-written the book, said: 'I have no doubt this was legit - I knew Cal for years and at one stage we even lived next to each other. He was a very credible source and all the other stories he has told me checked out.  Ar first glance, Darwin Porter surely comes across as kind of a scumbag.  Publishing a book making wild accusations about two men who are no longer with us and able to comment on the allegations seems blatantly unfair.  Especially if his basis for printing this story is "Cal ususally told the truth about other things."   We're anxious to see what sort of documenting proof the book contains, if any.

Cover to Alan Moore's Dodgem Logic #4 is Different

This is the wraparound cover to Alan Moore’s Dodgem Logic #4 by John Coulthart. Gfest is having a hard time deciding if this is the most drug induced comic book cover we've ever seen, or just the gayest cover (not that there is anything wrong with that) we've ever seen.

CIA had Plans to Create a Saddam Gay Sex Tape

But which of these Saddams were they targeting?

According to the Guardian, some of America's top spies believed that shooting a fake video of Saddam cavorting with a teenage boy might destabilise his power base. "It would look like it was taken by a hidden camera. Very grainy, like it was a secret videotaping of a sex session," one former CIA official was quoted as saying.

Obviously that plan never went anywhere.  But the CIA did apparently make a video of a fake Osama bin Laden sitting around a camp fire, drinking booze and boasting of his own gay conquests.  I'll bet that was a fun day at work for the CIA boys.

It's hard to believe we haven't won this war on terror yet with top notch plans like these.

When Batman and Robin Were First Outed as Gay Lovers

In 1954, best-selling writer, Frederic Wertham became the first person to accuse Batman and Robin of being gay lovers.  Fredric Wertham was a German-American psychiatrist and crusading author who protested the purportedly harmful effects of violent imagery in mass media and comic books on the development of children.

How did Wertham come to the conclusion that Batman and Robin were gay?  He based it on the following:

• "Bruce Wayne was rich. Several of Wertham’s patients said they wanted to live with Bruce and be rich too. "It is like a wish dream of two homosexuals living together" (p. 190). Here Wertham proposed that Bruce’s money was an aphrodisiac."

• "Alfred served lavish meals and kept Wayne Manor filled with freshly cut flowers. This is called stereotyping. So we will address this point immediately and say that a person’s attitude toward flowers or breakfast is not a gender-based or gender-defining characteristic."

• "Batman and Robin spent a lot of time caged, trapped or tied up while the other tried to save him. "Like the girls in other stories, Robin is sometimes held captive …. They constantly rescue each other from violent attacks by an unending number of enemies. The feeling is conveyed that we men must stick together because there are so many villainous creatures who have to be exterminated. They lurk not only under every bed but also behind every star in the sky" (p. 190-1). Wertham argued that danger could be stimulating, and that in the wrong circumstances that stimulation could take a sexual turn. He called such stories "erotic rescue fantasies." They were intended, he said, to make Robin more devoted to Batman than to anyone else on earth."

• "Bruce and Dick must be homosexual because there were no women in their home. The underlying assumption was that these were sexually active characters and that, lacking appropriate outlets for their passionate urges (i.e. wives) they were compelled to sate those urges with each other. In response let the record show that Robin had been born a boy because the creators didn’t want their moral crusader living alone with an adolescent girl. They were trying to avoid even the appearance of wrongdoing. They had not anticipated this alternate interpretation."

All of those quotes were from his best-known book - The Seduction of the Innocent (1954).  As crazy as some of those ideas may sound today, the book created a bit of a frenzy at the time.  It led to a U.S. Congressional inquiry by the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency into the comic book industry.

Publishers who became concerned about the possibility of government regulation instead created the self regulating Comics Code Authority.
