streakofhonest: Captain Jack Sparrow being a bisexual icon since 2003 When people talk about your portrayal of Jack Sparrow, they generally mention Keith but also point out a certain gay undercurrent.JD: Well, there was a great book I read … What was it called? Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition. A very interesting book. I wasn’t exactly going for that with the character. And Keith is not flamboyant in his actions. Keith is pretty stealth. But with Jack, it was more that I liked the idea of being ambiguous, of taking this character and making everything a little bit … questionable. Because women were thought to be bad luck on ships. And these pirates would go out for years at a time. So, you know, there is a possibility that one thing might lead to another. [x] -- source link
