When did Rocky turn gay?

Click to see Rocky 3 and Carl Weathers

Ok So I am watching the You Tube again because I've had a really crappy last couple of days. So I start wandering around You Tube when I happen upon a clip from Rocky 3. Now I own a copy of the first Rocky because it was an awesome story about redemption and raging against what everyone else thinks you are worth. It was awesome. It was an update of Marlon Brando's, "On the Waterfront".

But I remember watching Rocky 3 when I was a kid (on beta no less) because I wanted to see Rocky kick Mr.T's ass. So I watched the old clip of Rocky 3 on the You Tube and was surprised at just how gay it was.

Being gay is ok with me, but I was so surprised at how gay Rocky 3 was and that I didn't know it at the time. Don't believe me? See for yourself and cringe before the slow motion scenes.

Damn. I was innocent back in the day. How could a movie showing two oiled up guys in short shorts hugging each other at the beach NOT be gay?

I miss my TV.
