There are a lot of rumors that Clint was gay but I think it's mostly people repeating what they have seen on line. Clint is married and I believe that he has a child.
So at the very least he's bi sexual but again no proof he is or was gay.
If folks knew how many married men with children I have met in the bars and bathhouses pre aids they would be blown away
religion often results in (especially two decades a go ) marrying manufacturing children to cover over their truths
a lot....................................
they loved their wives and children but were living a lie obviously the ones I met (and) had come to terms at some level that they were gay in that they were in baths and gay bars
The baths were identical to Mcdonald's . Back then BC was the main franchise. You buy the membership and they have a club. With membership you pay either like $6 for a locker (per 6 hours) or a room for like back then $8 per 6 hours
Every six hours they announce over the soundsystem that your room or locker has expired come up and renew or check out
if you wanted to go out to a club as long as you paid "up" you could go out and come back -- it was basically a hotel with sex!
most had pools saunas disco booze video rooms bbq's etc etc
open 24 7 everyday of any year never closed
In essense they were for sex thats it and it was pre aids awesome!
2005, Club Washington
Club Baths was a chain of
gay bathhouses in the United States and Canada with particular prominence from the 1960s through the 1990s.
At its peak it included 42 bathhouses: Akron, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Camden NJ, Chicago, Cleveland (two locations), Columbus Ohio, Dallas, Dayton, Detroit, Hartford, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Missouri, Key West, Los Angeles, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis ("opening soon"), New Haven ("opening soon"), New York, Newark, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Providence, St. Louis, San Francisco, Tampa, Toledo, Ohio, Washington DC, London Ontario, and Toronto.
[1]
The chain claimed to have at least 500,000 members. Most of the bathhouses were closed in the 1990s either by government agencies or a changing market after charges were made that it contributed to the spread of
AIDS.
[2]
The Club was founded in 1965 by John W. Campbell (generally known as "Jack") (born 1932) and two other investors who paid $15,000 to buy a closed Finnish bath house in
Cleveland, Ohio. Campbell wanted to be provide cleaner, brighter amenities which were a contrast to the dark, dirty environment that existed previously.

they list parks that are crusiy to pick up men
they give you restaurants that are gay friendly
they give you areas in any city that are that are safe to hunt for sex
they rate safety ( hate crimes in each city etc it was good to know areas of any city where homophobes hang out and beat the shi# out of gay men!
There were back then (still) very clear areas a gay man ought to avoid if they are not in the mood to get their faces smashed or cops entrap gay men !
Cops usually would rub themselves in public to entrap you -- I always could sense when it was a cop and never got entrapped and arrested many i knew were entrapped and arrested
rate LE homophobia levels- it was always good to know if you had a high probability of wrecking your vacation in some city being what you are!!
gay beaches
etc etc
married men liked the baths cause they could have some sex and go home after that business meeting and continue their lie
sad they broke my heart

Bette tore the city up with her run at the baths !! They had to start letting hetero sexuals in!! Stright folks hangin with a bunch of gay dudes in towels!!
Bette at the baths what a hoot ! She is campy for those that are sensitive to that kind of stuff !!
having children does not mean hetero it can mean a sad person

An added attraction at the club was the first class entertainment provided by performers such as:
Due to her performances at the baths,
Bette Midler earned the nickname Bathhouse Betty. It was at the Continental, accompanied by pianist
Barry Manilow (who, like the bathhouse patrons, sometimes wore only a white towel)
