Actually, gay doesn’t come to mind. I think the Emcee, as played by Joel Grey, is queer non-binary and would probably use they pronouns if German gave them the option.
But why does straight come to mind for you? Why do you look at the most openly gay society pre-Stonewall and insist that he’s definitely straight? Why do you look at a character who covers his face in a pound of paint and dresses like a dandy, a clear gay signifier, as being straight? |
