that I don't care that Tim Holtz is gay, he is yummy looking! LOL! I guess I hadn't noticed before but yeah, he is adorable! Anyone else have a crush on the Holtz??? (don't tell my hubby ha ha!) Lol, yes he's adorable. I can't really say I have a crush though, because I'm way too old for him,. My feelings are more of the maternal variety. My family knows I'm a fan, so they tease me a bit. He demonstrates at a local stamp show occasionally, so I've had the chance to meet him in person and see him in action. He is just as nice and upbeat in person as he seems on camera. I was describing to DH the fan-girl laughter when he cracks a joke. Obviously lots of fans in attendance. He is fun to watch. I wish my brain to mouth to hand coordination was even a fraction as good as his. He really is talented.

I have always thought him to be handsome. I have had the chance to meet him and take some classes from him and I have to tell you he and Mario are such very nice people, Tim is an excellent teacher too!

Is he gay? Does anyone know? I don't remember seeing anyone discussing this, ever.

Is he gay? Does anyone know? I don't remember seeing anyone discussing this, ever. really? I thought everyone knew. I am not a fan of his art style, but even I know Mario is his partner.

Is he gay? Does anyone know? I don't remember seeing anyone discussing this, ever. Oh my, where have you been? There've been threads all over the crafty web for so many years. He even has TIM-IS-NOT-GAY fanatics who would come type out the same story of meeting him somewhere and somehow being confided with the big secret that he has a girlfriend but is just a very, very private man. Frankly, I half-expect at least one of them to come defend Tim's heterosexual honour in here. Must have "Tim Holtz gay" on Google alert or something. He's an awesome pedagogue. I don't share his style or overall taste but I love watching videos of him teaching. He's got all the right qualities: clarity, direction, natural ease, command, great interactive skills and, obviously, artistic talent.

I'm not a big follower of his so I wouldn't know. I buy some TH stuff and have watched maybe 2 videos of his. Never been to a stamp show or anything. I did a quick google search before I posted and nothing that I see indicated he's gay or not gay.

Slight hijack, but does anyone remember when Scrapbook.com sent out an email with the title "Your Free Gift...Tim Holtz Strips!"
Turns out it was for a free package of Tim Holtz filmstrip ribbon, but man did we laugh about it on the old board...I actually still have that email from 2009 because it cracks me up!

. Is he gay? Does anyone know? I don't remember seeing anyone discussing this, ever. I remember on the old 2 peas board there was a thread where a member basically said she didn't approve of his lifestyle and would not support his business. Tim came on the board. I can't remember how he worded it, but he did it really well and said that was fine. I was a fan of his ever since.

Is he gay? Does anyone know? I don't remember seeing anyone discussing this, ever. I did a search on this once out of curiosity and actually came across a rant (and just that one rant) declaring him to be straight and that his girlfriend was lovely. I find this thread odd. Like what does it matter? If he is, I equate him to Anderson Cooper (because there was a similar fascination with whether he was or wasn't). The objective is to do what he does (in Cooper's case, it's tell the news, in Tim's it's to make and sell craft supplies) not to become the center of attention himself.

I thought the thread was posted for fun. Like when there's threads about your "laminated list". That will most likely NEVER happen to your average person and I highly doubt partners would get a pass if the opportunity came up! I just read it as he's on my list of celeb crushes, but alas it will definitely NOT happen because he's gay. They find him attractive that's all.

I’ve always thought he was cute—looks and personality. I’ve seen him at stamp conventions and he’s always nice. Personally I don’t care about someone’s sexual orientation unless I want to date him.

He has a childish glimmer and smirk that are very endearing.

I can’t speak to his personality, but looks wise, I find him ok but not particularly attractive to me. Can see why others think so, but he’s got a lead singer of Rascal Flatts vibe to him that isn’t my cup of tea.

sleepingbooty Girl I have missed you!!!!! Yes, Tim is handsome and sweet. I do find this thread odd. It is cute odd and I get it. I really do get it. Why can't we just find a guy handsome whether he is gay or not? Are we still doing this in 2018? I guess I fall into the category I don't care who a guy wants to bang if I find him attractive then I find him attractive. No, I don't want to bang Tim. David Gandy, Henry Cavill, Chris Pine or Jason Momoa yes. refugeepea I remember that thread. I was beyond furious about it. So effing racist. I loved Tim for posting.

I did a quick google search before I posted and nothing that I see indicated he's gay or not gay. Haha, no worries. I was being overly dramatic in the spirit of the fangirl(s) posting left and right TH was not gay. *insert exclamation point* It looks like the evidence is disappearing with older discussion places and blogs shutting down but I tracked one of those TH-IS-NOT-GAY stories down here. The stories varied a little in the details but the common idea was that someone from TH's circle confided in them he had a girlfriend. They were posted only for a few years and always had these very negative connotations about the people saying TH's gay. @zingermack His authenticity is not the kind one can fake. And it is indeed endearing, I agree.

Ridiculous that people would get offended by what was meant to be a fun post. But typical I guess. There's always someone who has to get their panties in a bunch over something. You must be a really "fun" person to hang out with. I deleted the post so as not to further offend your precious "sensibilities" #smh grow up seriously.

I see no reason to delete the original post or one's account over this. It was, indeed, a lighthearted, innocent, fun thread. It's also ok for people to question what we might find fun and not "get" it. No need to get upset over that.

I am not into grunge, but Tim is extraordinarily talented. He seems very personable, and he is super creative. I saw him last year at convention, and were it not for the crowd, I would have enjoyed watching him. I couldn't get close enough to see. I went back later, but he was on break, and I had to leave before he returned. That was disappointing. I enjoy learning techniques from him online, and I enjoy using the tools that carry his name. I appreciate that he shares his talents. That is all I care about.

I met him at a scrapbook store years ago and he was so pleasant, kind and down to earth. After he finished with his presentation stuff, he came and sat with us at our tables while we were working. I liked him a lot.

I like his inks, not a big fan of his other stuff. I think he is an amazingly talented artist I'm just not a grunge fan. He's definitely cute but probably about 4 inches too short for me.
(now someone of diminutive stature can come in and be offended).
