Imagine it’s 1932, and you’re gay, or you are sexually attracted to men but don’t use the word “gay” to describe it. But you know. You hear there’s a movie starring an Olympic swimmer, in which he’s wearing only a loin cloth. So, you go see it. It’s Tarzan the Ape Man and it’s about a British lord who was lost in the jungle as a boy and raised by apes. He yodels, has a chimp sidekick and he falls in love with a woman named Jane. You’re there. In the theater. Over and over. Because Johnny Weissmuller is just that hot. Thank God for Hollywood.
