Is that why he shakes his cute little white furry ass in all the cartoons?

By Rach on 10.28.07 6:38 am

All of this time I’ve wondered… finally an answer. Thank you :0)

By Geeky Tai-Tai on 10.28.07 8:24 am

Ok, so who’s next? Hello Kitty?

By Jen on 10.28.07 9:12 am

And here I thought the Pope was going to be outted first.

By MammaLoves on 10.28.07 9:17 am

I am truly shocked. I thought that “Tinky Winky” of Teletubbies fame, and “The Ambiguously Gay Duo” on SNL were the only charachters who were out. Bugs Bunny, you say….I had no idea. I wonder who “Hello Kitty” would pair up with…

By Michelle on 10.28.07 10:14 am

This is SO not news. How many times was Bugs in drag? Duh.

By Nance on 10.28.07 2:08 pm

LMAO! That’s absolutely classic!

I knew there was something uncomfortably intimate about that relationship between Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny! I knew it!

Thanks for letting us know the truth is out

By ExpatJane on 10.28.07 4:25 pm

…and Daffy Duck?…gay or not gay? Wacky Rabbit, Daffy Duck?….Hmm. And poor Porky Pig…poor guy…nobody wants the fat one.

By Tuck on 10.28.07 4:50 pm

I remember years ago going to a “Was Bugs Gay?” midnight film fest, featuring all the cartoons where he donned drag, kissed male characters, etc.

Now all that’s left is to finally out Bert and Ernie once and for all.

By Miss Syl on 10.28.07 5:42 pm

I love it!! Do you know how many people will take this as the gospel truth and spread it??? Fabulous!!!

By Jennifer on 10.29.07 5:11 am

And you know Bert and Ernie were more than just roommates on Sesame Street…

By Jennifer on 10.29.07 5:11 am

i’m shocked!!! i’m with tuck, i always assumed it was daffy duck.

By better safe than sorry on 10.29.07 5:45 am

No big shock here. Bugs was always dressing in drag and kissing Elmer.

And what about the whole hairdresser thing with that shaggy monster? Sure, he used dynamite to set the curls, but otherwise he seemed a little to knowledgeable about it.

By psychotoddler on 10.29.07 6:52 am

All of the best cartoon characters are gay.

By Rhea on 10.29.07 6:58 am

Jen,

Everyone knows that Hello Kitty is bi.

By churlita on 10.29.07 8:09 am

You are so damn good that I actually looked this up to read more on the topic. Then I remembered that Mel Blanc’s only son’s name was Noel! On the other hand, you are dead on–Bugs Bunny was SO gay. I suspect Popeye, too, and his lesbian beard, Olive Oyl. I can see her having a secret affair with bisexual Betty Boop.

By Danny on 10.29.07 1:38 pm

Think back. Porky Pig NEVER wears pants! Hmmmm?

By Ellen Bloom on 10.29.07 1:51 pm

I guess I’m the only one who finds this disturbing.

By Timothy Long on 10.30.07 1:57 pm

Bugs and Porky had a torrid love affair.

By Jack on 10.31.07 6:29 pm

So, is this like, fictional characters come out month?

By lemon on 10.31.07 10:30 pm

It’s good to see how much support people are giving our gay rabbit hero. While Elmer might have been the target of Bugs’ onscreen smooches, he actually lived with Daffy in the same rabbit hole durring the Friz Freleng years. It was the early sixties after all and America was begining to show more of it’s true colors.

By Kamo on 02.14.08 2:12 pm

you people have to start thinking about what these people want . its called your kids .you seem to think it means nothing.get your heads out of the sand

By ron on 02.23.08 12:49 pm

No, we don’t want your kids. You can keep them hidden under your protective wing, Ron On. The fact is, and from reading many biographies and autobiographies about and from the animators that made these little gems, the cartoons were for adults as well as kids. And further, is it your opinion that adults can’t have a little humor in their lives? Or should we continue to hide in the sand until your homophobic crusade burns itself out?

By Kamo on 03.11.08 3:33 pm

Its called armagedon my friend ,and if you call homosexuality humor thats pretty sad, especially, when its with our children.

By ron on 03.30.08 9:02 pm

I hear Flipper flipped too

By Nobby on 04.11.08 2:39 am

It’s a-r-m-a-g-e-d-d-o-n. If you’re so affraid, you should learn to spell it correctly at least. Sorry for the flame war, folks. Ron clearly missed the humor train and keeps staring at his broken watch thinking it’s still 1500 a.d. “Burn the heretics! Kill the gay wabbit!”

By Was Bugs Bunny gay? | how to, how do, what is on 06.22.08 10:59 pm

Frankly this doesn’t surprise me at all…

By Name's Not george on 10.07.08 9:51 am

u all are losers because bugs bunny is not gay

By JB on 11.03.08 8:41 pm

If anyone freaks out over a popular fictional character being gay, then pity for them. Anyway, this isn’t news for me at all. However, there are times he did fall for a chick (though frequently they have been decoys), so the question of whether he’s total gay or bisexual is still in the hat.

Honestly, you cannot determine the personality of a cartoon character of a non-continuous flow of shorts having little to no relation to each other. But if he’s gay, so what? He’s still Bugs Bunny.
