Didn’t know he was gay
But he wasn’t the main songwriter of SG? The other guy was, right?
Is the other guy gay too?
rox-kuryliw said on July 18, 2006 19:44:
oz doesnt allow gay partnership , with all there gay people now that i am suprised about. glad im not the only one not to know he was gay LOL
whateveriam said on July 18, 2006 20:38:
Maybe that was why SG broke up hehehe...
Maybe him and Daniel did the bedsheet waltz, regretted it and killed their working relationship dead.
brentnewtown said on July 18, 2006 22:19:
Colby Taylor was his wife for four years when they left school, fellow member of savage garden isnt gay...
shannyn77 said on July 19, 2006 05:01:
I didn’t know he was gay either - I always wondered but was never sure - good on him anyways ;)
The other SG guy is married to Kathleen from kids group Hi 5.
RobS said on July 19, 2006 09:03:
Quite a surprise to read about that. I always had a suspicion and everyone always said so, but i never thought it would happen.
coyboyusa said on July 19, 2006 18:34:
its amazing how ignorant peopel are how could you not know he was gay. COngrats to him i wanna see if the bf is a flamer too :)
Santi said on July 19, 2006 18:56:
I am amazed at your words too, coyboy... does that mean that gay people should be labeled for being gay and we all should know and keep in mind that fact?
I personally don’t care if he wants to marry a girl, a guy, a cow or a cat... Just wish him a lot of luck and a longer and happier marriage than most celebrities!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 19, 2006 19:16:
another nice comment from coyboy. So we’re ignorant, are we?? Well thanks! I’m sure we appreciate that!!!
Starrox said on July 19, 2006 19:41:
@coyboy: Maybe because he has never officially said he’s gay? In fact, he hasn’t even written that explicitly in his post on his homepage! There were hints, yes, but not more!
Anyway, I’m thrilled for Darren!
Debora said on July 19, 2006 19:42:
I’m ignorant too, cos I didn’t know he was gay.
The funny thing is that now, Truly Madly Deeply will have a different video clip on my mind...
I wish him lot of happiness!!!
shannyn77 said on July 19, 2006 22:46:
I don’t think it’s ignorance - can you ever make proper assumptions about someones sexuality - is it even our right to?
natasha1 said on July 20, 2006 08:41:
well coyboy obviously thinks he is gods gift in this world...he would be shouting at the world if anyone was to ever dare to label him..yet here he is labelling everyone else as “ignorant”
very poor choice of words from he who portrays himself as above all those around him.
I think the way Darren wrote about his marriage on his website was just perfect - not hiding it but not in your face - just perfect - you just cant feel anything but happiness for the guy....
TinyBubbles said on July 20, 2006 13:21:
WELL i for one blame Mr Hayes for not wearing drag and for not wearing a sign on his forehead that said “i’m gay”
*waiting for tevennso to archive this thread aswell*
*giggles*
TinyBubbles said on July 20, 2006 18:11:
psssstt.. you guys.. we can secretly start discussing the war here.. who would guess Darren H marrying his bf would have anything to do with the war..??
Its only a suggestion...
MiracleMan said on July 21, 2006 00:32:
I thought I’d heard “I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You” was about the birth of his child. . . not that the two things are mutually exclusive. And not that I really cared.
Or am I thinking of “I Was So Lucky”?
Roxette-atic said on July 21, 2006 09:35:
Congratulations to him! Both Savage Garden and Darren Hayes solo are great stuff! I think everyone have suspected that he was gay, but off course noone knows for sure. Hope to see the release of a new Darren cd soon!
arnie said on July 21, 2006 11:58:
I did like his first album ver much, the second was really weird... but I think both of them were a big flop. I think Savage Garden should record a new album
coyboyusa said on July 21, 2006 12:21:
lol dont you know gays are the cause of all wars, I’m sorry I’m gay ans every straight person I know thought darren hayes was gay, for people to think he was just ” sensitive” or ” very caring” is hillarious lol
rox-kuryliw said on July 21, 2006 13:23:
coyboyusa do u like gay people ? do u like stright people ? do u like anyone for that matter ? always sound very hung up on being gay yourself and use it all the time.
Gay people are not always caring and camp and sweet or whatever else people like to think. Gay people are anyone with every personality going to the strightest butch bloke all the way down the scale to a women. i KNOW loads of non homosexual people that are sterotypically gay but are married with kids ( bet your thinking there kidding themselves knowing you :-P).
animalkingdom said on July 22, 2006 00:05:
“its amazing how ignorant peopel are “
Yes, it is SO ’ignorant’ for not daydreaming of people you wish to be gay.
However, I always thought there was something about Darren Hayes that reminded me of Marie Fredriksson’s stage moves...you know ;)
rox-kuryliw said on July 22, 2006 00:27:
i bet his room was cover in marie pics ;-) or was that just mine LMAO
TinyBubbles said on July 22, 2006 05:53:
I too know people that are sterotypically gay but they are as straight as can be. So Darren H being all sensitive and caring didn’t make him one bit gay to me..
Debora said on July 22, 2006 20:11:
I don’t like the word “straight” to say that a person is heterosexual.
According to my dictionary, straight means: honest and direct / going directly to the correct place.
Now, does it mean that a gay or a lesbian is not honest? Or maybe that they “are not going to the correct place”?
I think people is straight if they don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t cheat, if they are good people... but because they prefer sharing the bed with someone of the other sex... is stupid.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 24, 2006 18:36:
After reading this thread, I’ve been listening to his solo albums a lot! They’re actually quite good, but I prefer the first one. Strange Relationship and Crush are cool!
IV_ROX said on July 25, 2006 19:32:
Someone was right about the hints:.....” I want her, she wants him, he wants me, I give in.
I want her, I want him, I don’t want anything”...taken from his song Love And Attraction. Also the stage moves( ala Marie), I’ve noticed that too before. Anyway, as long as he is happy, that’s not our business anyway!
Hotblooded said on August 3, 2006 12:15:
Yeah Darren reminds me very much of how Marie acts on stage :) As far as his sexuality, good on him for coming out although I don’t really care either way.
Jud (moderator) said on August 4, 2006 05:01:
I must be one of the few who always thought he was - I remember when they had their breakthrough a (gay) friend of mine loved them and we discussed this and agreed that “for sure” he is :D
Ah well, who cares. If you live in Sweden and want to see him live, he’ll be at the Stockholm Pride on Saturday www.stockholmpride.org
coyboyusa said on August 4, 2006 21:44:
i hope this reults in him doing better music than his last solo album :)
Jud (moderator) said on August 4, 2006 21:59:
haha coyboy!!! I think you are the user who comes up with the weirdest comments here :P No offence, I’d miss you if you were not here :D
coyboyusa said on August 6, 2006 10:22:
a waste? oh what gay men are now a waste? lol and peopel around here call me ignorant ^ was by far the most insulting thing any half wit has ever said :)
Roxette-atic said on August 6, 2006 10:28:
Will try not to comment on that stupid “waste”-comment (ahh darn just did!!). But am I the only one that think that darrens latest soloalbum was good?? Better than the first one!!
whateveriam said on August 7, 2006 21:00:
Ah, went through my tapes to see what was on them. Found a TOTP I taped cos I was on holiday and Duran Duran were on it. Also on it was Darren doing Popular-lot of crotch grabbing...heheheh. Prefer SG stuff to solo. Sorry.
Oh, yeah Coyboy, its a ’waste’ to a lot of straight women, including me, godammit (I have wierd taste anyway). Look at George Michael as an example, lot of (still) very dissapointed women when he came out cos of the toilet incident...
coyboyusa said on August 8, 2006 01:30:
no offense but george michales is a waste of a human being he’s a drug addict and a whore
whateveriam said on August 8, 2006 10:06:
I’m not the one that should be offended. George should be.
whateveriam said on August 8, 2006 10:40:
Oh, yeah I forgot to say ’Congrats’ to Darren (and Daniel too). Hope they enjoy married life.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 18, 2006 11:12:
I didn’t even know he was gay!!
