Gomer Pyle Is Gay And Married

Here I was thinking that Jim Nabors announced his undying love for peen on a "SHAZAM! I'M GAY!" cover of People Magazine in the 1970s, but I guess I was wrong. I guess Gomer Pyle never publicly slid down the rainbow while proudly waving a rainbow flag, but he is now. Gomer Pyle (which sorts of sounds like the name of a sex act you'd get into at a massive gay orgy) has married the man he's been with for longer than some of us have been breathing air. Jim Nabors told Hawaii News Now (via Towleroad) that he married his partner of 38 years, Stan Cadwallader, on January 15th at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle.

"I'm 82 and he's in his 60s and so we've been together for 38 years and I'm not ashamed of people knowing, it's just that it was such a personal thing, I didn't tell anybody. I'm very happy that I've had a partner of 38 years and I feel very blessed. And, what can I tell you, I'm just very happy.

"It's pretty obvious that we had no rights as a couple, yet when you've been together 38 years, I think something's got to happen there, you've got to solidify something. And at my age, it's probably the best thing to do."

Jim and Stan met in Honolulu in 1975 and they've been there ever since. I would say that this is Jim Nabors' second marriage, but apparently that rumor that he married Rock Hudson in the early 70s is a lie and he's denied it a million times.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mr. Gomer Pyle and congratulations to all the bitches at their wedding who shouted "Well, GAAAAWWWWW-LEEEEE" after the grooms kissed. I'm going to choose to believe that at the reception, Jim Nabors serenaded his new husband with his stunning rendition of "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" and I'm going to choose to believe that he changed the lyrics from "take my hand, precious lord" to "take my peen, precious lovah."

I've see some Rock Hudson movie from the 60s (the name escapes me) where he played the part of a sporting goods salesman, maybe even in Seattle. His boss, coincidentally or not, was a Mr Cadwalader. I'm sure this is all part of some secret conspiracy.

The Jim Nabors & Rock Hudson are secretly married story came from a bunch of joke wedding invitations somebody in the Hollywood gay community had printed up in the mid 1960's announcing their upcoming nuptials. From there the rumor spread that they had really gotten married. I actually heard the rumor from a kid on my block when I was 10 years old in the late 60's. Amazing how far bad information can spread.

Gee, I remember growing up in a world when the word "Gay" meant "happy, full of joy" not "for the love of peen, or of the same sex".

I never once stopped to think if he was gay or not. Now that I know I'm like: Duh! My Mom had a huge crush on Paul Lynde back in the day and never once did she think he was gay. Today she's 83 and knows but it didn't matter nor does it matter today. I like that I grew up knowing all these people yet thought of them as simply being great people! I will be 50 in 15 days!

Really? Straight people care about what homos do in their bedrooms? Funny, I don't know anyone that asks gays to tell them what they do. Gays PREACH it to the world for all to see and hear.

I'm straight and never "came out" nor do I force my sexuality on others. It's only the gays that seek constant approval for their deviant choices.

I remember when I was little watching him on tv, maybe it was the Andy Griffith show or Gomer Pyle... and my dad said he's gay. I looked up and said, "whats gay?". Pops flustered and said, "Never you mind!" and skulked off. Granny came in and said, "it means he likes men, instead of women". Me, "ok". My dad was a dork.

LOL, GG. I love the olds when they speak and then don't know what to say to the kidlets!
My mom had the best fucking gaydar ever. She told me thirty years ago that Gomer, Rock, Monty Clift, Sal Mineo, etc etc were gay. I don't know how she knew back in the day when you didn't talk about stuff like that, but she knew. Mom still rocks it at 81.

His voice...omg, he sings "Back Home Again in Indiana" at the Indy 500 every year and it seriously brings tears to the eyes of all Hoosiers. He's been ill the past few years and hasn't been able to sing, so I hope he's getting better and come back and sing it. They've tried a few other singers for it, and it just doesn't sound the same without Jim singing it.

Speaking of the Indy 500-- sooooooooooooo glad I won't have to see that pretentious cunt bitch Judd there anymore!!! Upgrade: Franchitti!!!

In other shocking news today, the sun rose in the East, whales swam in the seas, babies cried, and Liberace, Rock Hudson, and Montgomery Clift did NOT spin in their graves.

Jebus. Really, Jim, you had to come out?

Enjoy your life with your man though. I just hate that gay people have to come out. Why? Whose business is it, really? Why do straight people care so much about what gay people are doing in their bedrooms and with whom?

Damn, everyone just chill.

Who didn't know Jim Nabors was gay? Back when I use to watch reruns of the Andy Griffith show with Gomer my grandma commented about him being gay, and that was years ago.
I think it just goes to show that back in the day, at least it seems people stuck together and worked through whatever shit they had going on instead of today's seemingly "throw-away' society. So good for them, 38 years is a long time.

So basically he found a young man to prey on and convert to his deviant ways and was able to keep him sticking around for financial reasons? Wow, what a success story.

Notice he didn't bother saying "monogamous" long-term relationship...gays frequently have illicit sex with strangers and then say they're "married" to their partner. Nice.

I thought Jim Nabor came out YEARS ago. No surprised there.
I wish him and his husband the best for their Golden Years.

Most people don't know that Jim Nabors started as a comedian and singer for years before he was on TV, similar to Andy Griffin's career.

I was having lunch at a hotel bar about 5 yrs ago and had been staring at Jim for about 15 minutes sit with another man and have little conversation but then another man showed up and you could see the transformation! He smiled more and laughed a hell of alot more. He obviously made him happy Good for him!
