"There's nothing wrong with being gay," Keanu Reeves told Vanity Fair in 1995, "so to deny it is to make a judgment. And why make a big deal of it?"David Geffen maintains that the rumor about his "marriage" to Keanu was started up not by gays out to appropriate Reeves for their own but by somebody simply "out to hurt Keanu." Geffen further asserts that some rumors that falsely portray straight men as gay can be attributed to women scorned. "I think these stories reflect frustration on the part of some women who simply do not get the response they want from these men," he says. "It could be that the men are not interested, or they may be involved with someone else--but it's easier for them to label the men as gay." The final and most pervasive agenda that fuels same-sex speculation is our ridiculously prurient society's unprecedented demand for gossip. The gay visibility boom is coinciding with the other information boom, and the two are feeding off each other. "Look, there's always been a palpable growth of gossip as an industry," says Geffen. "There's now a big, huge investment in stories. There are a million gossip columns in New York. There's the E! channel. Gossip is in the air more, and people are responding to it."In an interview in Burst! Films (Aus), also in August 1995 , apparently Reeves was sufficiently tired of being asked about the rumor. Reporter Paul Fischer says this in his interview: "OK, so let's get the gay thing out of the way. Fixating me with those piercing eyes, he reiterates what he said in Vanity Fair. 'Look, basically, my sex life is nobody's business, and I'd simply prefer it if you didn't ask me about it.' But when pressed, he does an O.J. Simpson, declaring that 'I am not gay nor am I married to David Geffen.' End of story."He is right - it's really nobody's business, is it?
