Showdown at the Internet corral: IUC receives death threats for outing The Duke

Posted on February 17th, 2009 by HisHighness in IUC:Entertainment, IUC:Exclusive

The Duke loved to show other cowboys his hard pistol

Seems like IUC touched a redneck nerve when we outed John Wayne last
week, quoting an employee of the Valley’s Sportsmen’s Lodge revealing
that Wayne used to bring men there for fishing and sex. He also said
a chambermaid from the Lodge once caught the Duke getting serviced by
a guy in the middle of the afternoon.

Within minutes of posting the story,    I received a death threat from
somebody threatening to “blow up” our site. Another warned that if I
ever step foot in Texas, I’ll be “lynched.”  I’m taking these threats seriously and have reported them to the proper authorities who are investigating. 

Meanwhile, IUC has been contacted by two different people claiming that they worked on Wayne films where the Duke (whose given name, by the way, was Marion) brought guys into his trailer for sex.

If Wayne were alive today, and I ran into him on the street (or in a
bathhouse), I suspect I know what his response would be to these
claims:

“I haven’t lost my temper in 40 years but Pilgrim, you caused a lot
of trouble this morning and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth.
But I won’t. I won’t. The hell I won’t!”

    Well here we go again, masculine men couldn’t possibly be gay could they? The only acceptable types of gay men are limp-wristed, effete and feminine, they’re recognisable by the pastel shades of clothes they’re wearing and can usually be found creating works of art or reciting poetry. This is the only acceptable face of gay men to homophobes, if they were found out to often be exactly like them well that would be terrifying now wouldn’t it?

    The Duke is dead; may he Rest in Peace.

    All I ask is that you leave Gleason out of this.

    I swear to God, if you put Art Carney, or any one of the other Honeymooners, up there, I will blow up your site.

    Leave Audrey Meadows ALONE!!!!!

    Jesus God, who’s next? Florence Henderson?!!!!

    Hahaha! Didn’t I predict this would happen sooner or later? Now the hitmen are after you. Sounds like outing the dead is a much more risky business than one might think. That “late cowboy” has got a very long lasso. Run for your life and good luck, you foolhardy little Sioux! :-)

    MB – say some long dead geezer who starred in a few flicks might have liked having a little bit of slap and tickle with a few fellas from time to time and what do you get? Why death threats of course, obviously!!! What could possibly be more deserving of threatening to kill someone than suggesting their favourite old matinee idol might like the peen and not the poon? What an open-minded, unjudgmental and tolerant society we do be living in huh?
