Eddie Murphy

"I have a few rules when I'm up here... Also, faggots aren't allowed to look at my ass while I'm onstage. That's why I keep moving when I'm up here. You don't know where the faggot section is, so I keep moving."

"He put two $100 bills on my leg and said, 'Here's $200.' He asked me if I did this for a living, being a transsexual prostitute. I said yes. Eddie said, 'Do you like to wear lingerie?' I said yes. He said, 'Can I see you in lingerie?' I told him, 'Whenever I have the time.' He said, 'I'll make the time.' Then he asked me, 'What type of sex do you like?' I said I was into everything."

First off: Eddie Murphy is not queer. Absolutely not. If anything, Eddie considers gays to be simply objects of lighthearted derision. Remember that hilarious comedy routine from Raw where he wonders what the Honeymooners would have been like if Ralph and Ed were gay lovers?

"Norton, my friend. How would you... like to fuck me... up the ass? I know you wanna fuck me Norton. And you know that I know that you know that you wanna fuck me. So I'm gonna bend over. And when I do, I'm counting to five. And when I'm done, start fucking!"

If Eddie were himself gay, then why on Earth would he raise the issue? It just doesn't make any sense. Use your head.

Another local San Diego queen who still lives here and had an affair with Murphy is the ever-sexy and beautiful blonde bombshell Evelyn Thomas (Queen of Queens III and a former Miss Gay San Diego titleholder), who told me that she remembers that Murphy's "private part" curved like a banana! Another gorgeous drag queen, Mercedes Alexander... has also been splattered all over the press for her affair with Murphy...
