WAS KAREN AND RICHARD CARPENTER GAY

Now I am not saying this just to make people mad. I am also a huge "Carpenters Fan" and I also happen to be gay.

Now lets be clear about this ITS OKAY TO BE GAY. Now to support the reasons why I think they were both gay is easy. In the "E true Hollywood Story" it was stated that "Richard took after his mother", and were very close. Karen " Was a Tomboy" and "a killer on the drums". She never dated much in high school but it "wasn't because she wasn't asked out".

Karen was also was forced to act more like a lady by her mother. In fact her mother hated the idea that Karen played the drums. She wanted to Karen to play something more " suitable for a lady".

Karen also had a negative body image later that didn't help matter. Later she would die from years of suffering from anorexia.

Bottom line

Richard always has know he was gay but has never dealt with it.

Karen had no idea she was gay. Both of them however did have addiction issues.
