James Franco Gets Queer (Again)

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > James Franco

wenn2528260jf.jpg

The very smart and very sexy James Franco is attending graduate school at NYU and is supposedly enrolled in Queer Cinema, an undergrad course in the Cinema Studies department.

Here's a sample of the syllabus:

Week 1: “You Don’t Know Dick: The Courageous Hearts of Transsexual Men” (1997 documentary)

Week 2: “Mom’s Apple Pie: The Heart of the Lesbian Mothers’ Custody Movement” (2006 documentary)

Week 3: “Loads” (12 minute film from 1971)

Homolicious!

This isn't the first time Franco has shown an interest in queer cinema. In addition to starring in Milk, he also directed his own student film at NYU last year based on gay poetry.

Apparently he put the students into quite a tizzy when he was on the department floor, but he's already missed the first class!

That's okay, James, we could teach you a thing or two!

      Yes, Pumpkinhead, you could teach him how to be a professional homosexual.



    3. 3

      Wonder if there's any chance he could be gay in real life, since he shows such an interest in the subject. Has he ever been linked to any females in Hollywood? Hmmm…



    4. 4

      oh Franco! how I adored him in Freaks and Geeks.
      he's yummy.



    5. 5

      Re: g.babyl0c805

    28. 28

      god dam get off his back, its so gross that you wanna do every male n the business, stop telling the world about it



    29. 29

      Re: Uker – I agree. I think the reason why, though is because most people who come up with thought-provoking comments are not so interested in what Perez posts on his site. I don't think this place will ever have enough of those people to actually make it worth getting in discussions over.



    30. 30

      love him



    31. 31

      Yeah he was gay back in the Freaks & Geeks days. I thought he was really gay in Tristan & Ysolde, a very good film but he was clearly not that into her. He was even MORE gay in that Annapolis film, super gay in the army. And also Pineapple Express = gay. As for Milk, well that seemed like a perfect union between James Franco the actor & the character he played. And as a bonus he got to make love to Sean Penn.



    32. 32

      I LOVE this man. Absolutely gorgeous.



    33. 33

      i always thought he was gay(not a bad thing)



    34. 34

      Love James Franco



    35. 35

      I don't think he's gay (not that it would be a bad thing if he was). I just think he, unlike most celebs, isn't afraid of what people will say about his choices. Such as everyone here is doing, including myself. He seems like such a down to earth guy, I'd love to chill with him.
      And you know, do other stuff with him, heh.



    36. 36

      SEXI!!!



    37. 37

      Perez, darling–James Franco goes to Columbia, not NYU (and aren't I glad–I saw him in the library here the other day… I didn't get much studying done after that, but it was worth it!).



    38. 38

      No straight guy has this much interest in gay things. And is that the disgusting shit they teach in college now?



    39. 39

      i thought he went to columbia for grad school??



    40. 40

      Re: Office Drone – u stupid troll, its not a dicussion site! its a gossip site u lame!! u want a dicussion site!? go fucking find one because u aint finding shit here.



    41. 41

      There's nothing sexier than an attractive and talented straight man who's down to earth and open to what the world has to offer.



    42. 42

      I love James Franco and his seemingly increasing love for education, It's so good that even though he has his dream job he's still trying to better himself, he has his head screwed on he's so clever. He's one of my favourite actors because of this and I think he has his feet firmly on the ground! :)



    43. 43

      PS Doesn't Franco have a girlfriend still? he's not gay…



    44. 44

      Re: StaceyMichelle – He definitely isn't gay, but he could be bisexual or bi curious.
