@Merry Andrew,

That post is a typical example of the homophobic prejudice that still exists among us.
Why should Burr -- or anyone else, for that matter --
have to DEFEND onself against the label of homosexuality?
No one said that he
HAS TO defend.
Being as dead as he is, he cannot be embarrassed.
If u r straight, how 'd u feel if someone called u a homosexual ?
I 've gotta say
:
I 've been called a lot of bad names on some of these fora
because of my pro-freedom, anti-socialist views,
but I 'm glad that no one has accused me of
THAT.
This defamation reminds me of the hatchet job
(based on 3rd hand hearsay)
that was done to blacken the memory of J. Edgar Hoover
after he was too dead to defend himself.
The dead shoud not be hit below the belt.
If thay r,
then thay shoud return on Halloween to inflict their revenge.

Are there still laws against it in some states?
Maybe; I am not up-to-date on the state of the law nor
the law of the states insofar as this topic is concerned.
It is not something that I check very ofen.
In any case, Raymond Burr is now immune from any effects of law.
I doubt that he gives a damn about the law.
Let me be clear on the point
that I do not suggest that homosexuals be treated badly,
nor that thay shoud be embarrassed, but straights shoud not
be accused of being queer. The evidence adduced against
the late Raymond Burr is between flimsey and non-existent.
He is entitled to a decent minimum of respect.
