Sorry to burst your bubble but John Wayne was Gay.
I live here in Orange County California and the fight over the John Wayne airport name is really about conservative Orange county going blue Democrat and not wanting to have a perceived bigots name on an airport.
He got a film role once that got him tons of straight bible belt fans and he rolled with it for the rest of his career. But, in real life, John Wayne was Gay and he was known for having a big dick. This is well known in Hollywood.
Here are some pics of John Wayne
