I agree that the lesbian comment in People Magazine was unecessary but it honestly did not occur to me that the producer from Love Will Show us How was supposed to be gay.
I don't think that a couple of comments, the last one being more than 30 years ago, makes a case for Chris being homophobic.

Yes, all of those comments were from long, long ago, back in the 1960's, 1970's & 1980's. I don't like them either, but times were different then. Remember that picture of Chris made up like Aunt Jemima? I consider that racist & I find it embarrassing. She definitely wasn't politically correct then, but at that time nobody else was either. Times have changed. Look at Don Imus now.
By the way, that guy in the "Love Will Show Us How" video was Paul Bartel. He was gay & eventually died of AIDS.
