I don't think he's gay, but he reminds me of an obviously gay guy, who everyone knows is gay, but remains in the closet and in denial to himself.
This is spot on, except I wouldn't discount the gay possibility.
We all know he "fronts" about everything. But one recurring theme on the show that hasn't received mention on this thread is how he often inserts a "dude's" perspective on amorous (heterosexual) relationships.
Aside from the fact that the topic is irrelevant for sports talk (which is why so many of us object to his show), the way he constructs male-female relationships is so far from reality and parroting of "men are from mars, women are from venus" stereotypes and platitudes that it is clear that he never has had a meaningful relationship with a woman.
I happened to turn on the radio a couple of nights ago and he was talking some sort of
nonsense about "Sweetest Day" or some crap. I quickly turned some music on, so I don't know what transpired.
But the devolution into this talk about his "girl" or "honeys" is exactly how many closeted
people awkwardly try to force themselves into personifying the norms of heterosexual relationships. It is like they need to "perform" as a heterosexual, but really can't pull it off because it is so foreign to them so they just sound stupid
The fact that this type of prattle takes up so much time on his show suggests, to me, that Larry's sexuality is really something he is struggling with. He feels that if he can literally broadcast a fiction about being straight to the world over a 50,000 watt station, it will silence the urge in him to bring LoHo to the Down Low.
In this day and age it is pathetic and sad that he has to remain closeted, but I guess I can understand it given the meat-headedness that permeates his line of work.
Wow, this is hilarious. "....bring LoHo to the down low". Haha
