Not much to comment on here, long time rumors confirmed but some people are truly awed by his voice, an uncle had one of his gospel albums of which he raved about.

Yes, I have heard the light remarks people have made about this marriage: “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise.”

Ummmm…this is not a marriage.

:mad:
 


Gomer’s girlfriend on the show, Lou Ann, Elizabeth MacRae. One wonders how Andy Griffin viewed all this.

It kind of makes one wonder how the set was back then.
 
i think i remember when i was 11 or 12 years old rumors of jim nabors and rock hudson being romantically linked!!
i was too young then to really understand what the implications were. i guess part of the rumors were true. they were both homosexual men which has now shown to be true.
 
I agree it’s not marriage, sort of speaking to the way the story is written. Too, I guess they went to Seattle.
 
Liked the Goober photo Broomwagon!

“Gomer” somehow has outlived the others from “Mayberry” and Sgt. Carter. :confused:

Maybe the Lord is giving him space for repentance. Today’s news doesn’t look good though.

Moneyless sidebet: The media will breathlessly approve with coverage, photos, etc. -
as the “courageous couple comes out” after years of American societal repression and intolerance.
 
Somewhere in Heaven my mother is saying:
“see, I told you so!”.
:cool:
 
this is NOT a “marriage” ! :mad:

God put male and female together for a reason – they COMPLEMENT each other. Two males DO NOT and two females DO NOT.

Yes, you should write the authors of the original news story.

Ronnie Howard, yes, quite a bit younger than Gomer, well, within reason I suppose. That has to be the most rerunned show, along with Lucy and some others. Andy Griffith was small town main street America, USA. With Floyd and others, it was already a mature cast, some like the character who played Howard Sprague died relatively young to begin with. Don Knots, Andy and George Lindsay have only passed away over the past few years.

What about Otis, the town drunk?
 
Mr. Nabors declined an on-camera interview with Hawaii News Now, but was quoted in a telephone interview with the news program as saying that he and Mr. Cadwallader “had no rights as a couple” before they were married, “yet when you’ve been together 38 years, I think something’s got to happen there, you’ve got to solidify something.” Mr. Nabors added, “And at my age, it’s probably the best thing to do.”

Nabors is 82 years old.

Although same-sex marriage is recognized in the state of Washington, and a handful of other states, it is not recognized in Hawaii. So I am not sure how the legal rights of the marriage will play out should Nabors pass away.

That said, there has been speculation that Hawaii might be the next state to legalize same-sex marriage.
