Fight Club Author is GAY
Chuck Palahniuk just came out of the closet (yesterday actually). Turns out he has been living with a male partner for more than 10 years now.
You can read about at his official fan site: http://www.chuckpalahniuk.net Normally, someone's being gay shouldn't be that interesting. But in this case it does kinda explain Fight Club, doesn't it? In a good way, I mean. |
GASP, You mean Tyler Durden is one of them? No wonder I like him.
|
I had a film professor in college who was gay and loved Fight Club and would point out all the gay subtext in the movie (which was, I think, more prevalent in the book).
So, fairly or unfairly, I always took for granted that Palahniuk was gay. But I guess I never knew if he had said he was or not. |
Then again here is a quote from this weeks entertainment weekly (I know, I know, don't roll your eyes)

Yeah, that entertainment weekly article is the reason he came out. He said some nasty things about the female reporter that wrote that in his audio-blog, and then admitted that he had lived with a male partner for 11 years.
Dunno. Maybe it's another prank of his. |
After seeing the movie, I always just kind of assumed.
|
After reading all of his books I've always thought he was either gay or closeted... In the end, I only care that he is one of the most exciting writers of our time...

BJM was groovy.
I don't care if he's gay, he writes an awesome novel and that's all that matters. |
Anyone else remember the Fight Club quote (movie, not book)
"We are a generation of men raised by women. I'm beginning to wonder if another woman is what we really need." It seems like all my favorite authors are gay. First Clive Barker, now Chuck. Who's next, Tom Robbins? |
Also forgot to mention. I thought "Being John Malkovich" was crap. I guess I didn't get it either. Anyone care to tell me what I didn't get?
|
i got it, and yes.. it did indeed stink

He's my favorite author...but I'm straight...I love him...
|
Spike Jones and Chuck P... interesting pairing... Being John Malkovich is driven by many of the same impulses that are firing though the viens of Palahniuk's work...
If you have seen some of Jones' other works (like it or not) you have to agree that he is consistently interesting... |
Clive Barker's gay??? Whoa. I'll have to rewatch all his movies now. That is interesting...
|
I think the important thing to remember is this:
He was gay when he wrote all of his awesome shit. Coming out of the closet wont change that fact. It also wont have much of an affect on his future stuff. He is the same person he always was and you appreciated him then. |
I don't give a fuck if Chuck Palahniuk is gay or not. He's still an awesome writer, i mean he wrote choke and fight club, didn't he?
|
Yup, chuck could fuck sheep while wearing pixie wings..... I'd still buy his books though.
|
The big question is "When are they going to make another movie?" I want to see IM and Survivor on the big screen.
I wonder if any of Choke was personal experience..... hmmmmm... |

what is the point of this thread?
a writer is gay... so? btw, i loved Being John Malkovich. i thought it was very clever. i´m looking forward to seeing this combination. |
I dont care if he's gay. Ive read a few of books and enjoyed them greatly. And, ive never picked up on the gay subtext people are talking about- though i can see where your coming from.
|
cool...at least he knows what he wants in life! This reminds me though.. I have to read Fight Club for one of my classes this semester.
|
You got an amazing class if you have to read Fight Club.
Fight Club is a good book that is interesting and can be read in one night, it's the perfect book for any student. |
Wow... He's Gay.
*goes back to stuff that matters* |
I preferred Adaptation over Being John Malkovich myself.
Chuck Palahniuk is an awesome writer regardless of sexual preference. |
It was something I figured he had to have tried at some point or another. It doesn't matter though. What I do care about is that I can't get his books for less than $13 each.... grrrr...

How DARE HE! The foul infidel!
Really... I don't care that much though, as long as he doesn't include gay erotic scenes in his new books. Does give you kindof a new perspective on the relationship between the two guys in Choke. Living together and all. |
Heh Halx hit it right on the head. As far as i am concerned, being gay shouldnt change anyones perceptions about you. Altho, there are people that disagree, I usually just fight them and lose and cry. Then they think im gay.
|
who cares as long as he's talented. and of course clive barker is gay. look at hellraiser you've got all that fetish wear and channard has a dick on his head.

Wait, he's gay? No way. Next you are going to tell me Elton John and Ian McKellen are gay also. Nope I'm not going to believe it */SARCASM* I think that just proves that it doesn't matter, what matters is how good you are at what you do. |
Who cares he's a great writer! Sexual preference doesn't change anything!
|
Yeah I loved both his and Clive Barker's books (his game wasn't too bad either!)
