Is Pinky gay?
The Dolphin
that female mouse with a Brooklyn accent in "The World Can Wait". Notice,
however, that in the faux-Cyrano De Bergerac scene, Pinky expresses
absolutely no interest in this female mouse. I remember the Kentucky Derby
toon in which Brain subs for a jockey, and I remember Pinky falling for one of
the horses. Notice that this one particular horse can not be positively
identified as male or female? Pinky exhibits many feminine traits (The Pink
Wonder), and is clearly not the dominant partner in his relationship with
Brain. Does anyone have any input on my theory?

Their relationship reminds me of Smithers and Mr. Burns on "The Simpsons"
with Pinky having an unrequitable and tragic crush on his "superior". Oh
and I'd just like to remind the folks that us gay types aren't all
effeminite and submissive. If you saw me walking down the street, you
would prolly think, "Hey, shouldn't you be cutting down trees with a shiny
axe you big husky hunk of a man you?" Anyway, if Pinky is gay (hmmm, a
symbol of the gay community is the _pink_ triangle) then I hope he creates
a support group. He might call it N.A.R.F. (National Association of
Rodent Fairies). Just opining...

I'm afraid that you're missing a few facts....
I seem to remember that in "Jockey for Position", Phar Fignewton
is called a philly at least once. Does anyone know whether Phar
Lap was a philly or a colt?
Also, in "The World can Wait", Pinky says "But Brain, I already have a
girlfriend!" when Brain points out to him that it's Pinky that Billie
likes. This also explains Pinky's disinterest in Billie.
So it appears Pinky's not gay, although what with crossdressing,
bestiality, and masochism, his (sex) life is complicated enough already. :)

Oh, Paul's a lumberjack and he's OK,

I guess we now know what Pinky's "driving pleasure" is.

Pinky isn't gay. The horse is referred to as his "girlfriend" in
"The World Can Wait." Brain also tells Pinky "She's not even a
mouse." Or something like that.
I think too many people try and relate something to themselves
a bit too hard.

Hah! I like it!
During the time when Peter Hastings and Tom Ruegger were playing the
parts of Pinky and the Brain in a live chat, I sent in a comment that
didn't get shown to the public:
On the question of why is Pinky so funny...
Pinky: "I work with the perfect straight man."
Me: "And you're not straight, are you, Pinky darling?"

I don't think so... Smithers deffinatly had something weird going on with Mr.
Burns. I don't remember which episode, but Burns was describing a dream that
Smithers had and it involved Smithers in a bed with Burns floating in through
a window over him. Weird... Pinky is not gay.

Oh, silly silly silly non-believer. If you opened your mind and not let
stupid little things like the laws of physics stand in your way, you would
probably have nothing but good things in your future.

Yes.
Does it MATTER if Pinky is gay or not? I mean, aren't we living in a
society where gay people and straight people are supposed to be living in a
euphonious harmony and it really shouldn't matter one way or the other? To
classify Pinky as "gay" makes him fall prey to the basic stereotypes that
all gay people are subject to, which ain't pretty. Even if he IS gay, does
that mean we should respect any less than any other cartoon character?
I think I'll get off my soapbox now... =^)

Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean he's not bisexual!

Um...I don't get it. So? I'm heterosexual, and I don't express interest
in every single person who is vaguely male. Unless he's cute, rich, and
single, that is.

No, it's definitely a female horse.

How's THIS for an identity crisis, kids? The Kentucky Derby is run on by
three-year old, GELDED male horses... Pinky refers to Pharfignewton as his
"girlfriend" later on. Furthermore, he speculates what a tryst with Pippi
Longstocking would bear.
Is he gay? IMHO, no. Does it matter? NO!

First off, this has got to be the most rediculous thread presently
running. (allthough I could be wrong.) Still, Pinky knew from the onset
that Brain had "claimed" the right to woo Billie. Goofy he may be but he
certainly has the lion's share of respect and loyalty for Brain, he's not
gonna muscle in on his "chick".
besides, I have the feeling Pinky isn't as stupid as he seems, and being
a super genius is it's own form of insanity.

As opposed to you, who chases after anything regardless of gender, species,
or a pulse.

In your case, I made an exception and only went for the "single" part.

Please don't refer to Pinky as "Goofy" - even in jest. It makes me want to
go wash my hands or something....
