#SupportPickers
HOLLYWOOD-Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, stars of the History Channel’s American Pickers television show, have raised eyebrows in the past with their a-little-too-close relationship and outright disdain for stunning co-star Danielle Colby Cushman. On Monday, the pair “came out of the closet,” in the hopes that fans would understand their choice of sexuality.
Mostly, the Pickers have not been disappointed. Fans have started a campaign on Twitter under the hashtag #SupportPickers, and many members of the LBGQT activist movement have issued statements of support.
Of course they're gay.
Cushman, who is often taunted and belittled by the Pickers despite her staggering beauty and quick wit, said “I knew it all along, but never said anything because of their miserably fragile egos. I guess they’re stronger than I thought!”
Fritz, the submissive “bear” and megapowerbottom of the couple, has mostly “retreated into his oil can collection,” as rumors of a negative and unsupportive family have spread widely across the Internet. Wolfe, however, seems upbeat and optimistic, just like he always does on TV. Wolfe said, “We’re going to keep on picking, but if you hear a little more lisp when we’re trying to haggle with gays, you’ll know that we aren’t actually just pandering for better prices.”
Great guys…great show…watch them because their intelligent and funny…and I wish I could be as successful as they are.
I agree with Jan, WHO CARES,it is a great show I wish it were on more often.
THIS IS ONE OF THE STUPID F*ING SITES EVER!!!!!!!!!!! WHO GIVES A CRAP IF THEY ARE GAY OR NOT…THEY ARE NO MORE GAY THAN THIS SITE IS RUN BY GENIUSES. MY WHOLE FAMILY LOVES THIS SHOW AND IF THIS MISERABLE ATTEMPT TO DRAG SOMEONE’S PRIVATE LIFE INTO A SMEAR CAMPAIGN EVEN CAUSES THEM TO THINK TWICE ABOUT CONTINUING I HOPE THEY SUE FOR LIABLE. YOU ARE IDIOTS. EVEN IF THEY CAME TO THE SHOW GAY AS OPPOSED TO MARRIED AND IN A LONG-TERM HETEROSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WHO THE F CARES??? IT’S THEIR BUSINESS AND THE SHOW IS OUR ENTERTAINMENT! JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE ISSUES IS NOT A REASON TO MESS WITH TWO REALLY DESCENT PEOPLE!!! TO THE INSULT YOU DELIVER TO DANIELLE…SHE IS WITTY AND SARCASTIC, INTELLIGENT AND BEAUTIFUL! JUST BECAUSE SHE CAN HOLD HER OWN IN FUN BANTER WITH THESE GUYS DOESN’T MEAN HER RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM SHOULD BE A BASIS FOR SUSPICION!!! MAYBE SHE’S JUST FINE AND REGARDLESS OF HOW PRETTY SHE IS CAN HAVE A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH TWO MEN THAT ARE NOT HER HUSBAND!
This is mikes wife and he isn’t gay or he wouldn’t be married to me we have a beautiful baby daughter named Charlie and he is one of the best guys I’ve ever met mike and frank are only really good friends form high school frank has a girlfriend named Kim who hes been with over a decade!! Just cause two guys travel together don’t make them gay get real y’all and why would you even look this up unless Yale was questioning yourselfs? And Danielle has two kids herself and a husband all y’all want to do is spread lies no matter what y’all say mike and frank care less!! They know there stright so y’all spreading this horrible rumor around is abunch of rubbish
not sayn they are gay who cares if they are or not! But dont be so stupid to think just because someones married with children that they cant be GAY!
I love AP and I am so sorry about this stupidity going on about M and F. It has to be hurtful. I am suprised they havent said Ruby was gay. Love the pics of Ruby on Twitter. God bless you, Mike, the baby, Danielle, her family, Frank and his family.
This is for all your stupid comments I’ve known mike a s frank for awhile now this rumor is stupid mike has a wife and a baby girl frank has a girlfriend they are best friends from school they work together Get real guys
Read the nytimes article. They are not gay just becaue they dont oogle over a tatto covered girl doesnt make them gay it just gives them good taste. And even if they were, who cares. The show is fun to watch and they have made a great living doing what they love.
Link please, to the article
Wish People Would Just Leave Them Alone cmon Mike and Frank are great guys and extremely personable. Their sexual preference is their business It’s time to support them.
Been watchin them for years they do alot of climbing and squeezing through some tight places never heard either one of them fart this answers my questions they are both streched out Go Pickers
You’re journalism is nothing but fabricated gossip. A waste of time- get a job, pick your nose or something productive.
I do not care if they are gay. But on a recently aired episode Mike talked about Frank having a “lady friend” and also Franks mom was in a episode when he was sick. So this kinda makes me wonder if this article is true.
Didn’t you see the followup article in which the “Pickers” renounce homosexuality merely for PR?
Don’t see signs that they r gay. Fine with me if they were. Great show. Hope u r good people the way u seem on tv.
the imdb site says that Mike lives with his wife in nashville…this is fake, just wanting attention. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3797453/
I really, really,REALLY dislike Mikes laugh. I asked hubby what he thinks of Danielle, he said, eh.
I have stayed away from this for months but they are bad people. In Wisconsin I ran into them. As a fan I was open to them. I was given a rape drug and disappeared in one of there rooms for over 10 hours. Do not go near them unless you want a disease.
This isn’t true at all. He is married with a little girl who just turned 1. He would not have “come out” just before getting married to the woman he’s lived with for over 10 years. They’re just super good friends the same way Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were – inseparable buddies. To use a phrase favored by my parents’ generation, this article is pure “hogwash”!
Regardless if they are or not, I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Very intertaining ,And I will keep watching it.
Keep up the good work guys .
Who cares. Good luck to them. Their happy and the show is great. UK loves American pickers.
I knew you were a couple of Homos..
Daniel is hot!!!!! I would so love to bruise her inner thighs! SEXY IN EVERY WAY!!:)
Who cares if they’re gay , it’s really a stupid show .
They travel the country in a van and maybe make $500 a show !!!
What’s it cost in gas , food , etc for one day ?
They should have a semi and buy everything [ which they probably do but it's not on the show ]
unreality TV
I never liked the show and if it is true I wish they’d just keep it to themselves.
if they are they are, if not thin well u get it. who cares, its there life and its a good show. i love what they do.. and to misterE
January 27, 2013 at 1:35 PM · Reply she is hot.. on my top 5 list.
I hate to tell ya this, but they are not gay. Mike has had the same girlfriend for over a decade
By the way Danielle is NOT pretty. With all those tats makes her very ugly.
If this is true I will not watch them again. That’s too bad because I kike this show. What a shame if true.
Seriously? So, you like the show, but if they are gay you will not watch it? I assume you do not watch baseball, football, basketball, etc since at least 5-10% of the players are gay as well. Hmm….. considering who is actually out of the closet, I think your viewing may be limited to…..uhm, well, nothing. The bigotry and narrow mindedness of some people is unbelievable. And truly sad. My hope is you have not bred yet, as I would hate to think you may have the chance to actually pass on your hatred.
You are a scumbag.
I See you two all time richard sluss 3211 williamsburg rd richmond Va23231,.,
Uh, do people really believe this article is true??? LOL look at the other “news” headlines on this website like ” Lady GAGA diagnosed with brain cancer” and “Little Wayne Dead at 29″. C’mon people.
I enjoy the show and don’t care. Was in Canada recently and saw Canadian Pickers – same show different players. Enjoyed that one too.
So, Mike got married about a month ago……. so…. yeah… this is crap…..
This whole show is nothing but a joke! Like if anyone thought they were straight? They are gayer than two men kissing…lol. They are two hard bargainers on the bidding and frank seems like a rip off… His voice and his demeanour is so annoying… But now that they are out of the closet bout their homosexuality I just laugh at the whole show… Lol
It’s an entertaining show. I love the appreciation they both have for the past and the objects that represent it. Nothing else matters to me. Good relationships and happiness are hard to come by….grab it and hang on to it with whomever. As far as everyone else….it’s none of their damn business…who cares what they think.
There both gay and daniel is to
I fail to see any point of this “article” ??
I’ll never understand why people get off on such garbage.
I heard they have picture of lance armstrong in back of van
that is very unfortunate.
always had the hots for Mike….WHOOO HOOOO, proud of you two for coming out..stand tall and proud boys
I guess your a SICK ASS too.Makes me sick just knowing it.I’ll never watch the show again.I AM ANTI QUEER.
Stupid comment from Kilgoar: “Choice of sexuality.” Like Mike chose to be tall and Frank chose to be short.
But then again, who can believe anything here anyway?
The show is fake just like all these other shows like Pawn Stars and Storage Wars.
All the news here are fake. Anyway are very funny
I have been upset with the crap that, mainly Frank pulls, with customers…If you can double your money, that’s cool. But when you talk somebody down & get triple the price, that’s wrong!!
[...] Danielle the Tattoo'd Diva isn't there fave person….. In Iowa, bet that's a tough sell…. Are the American Pickers Gay? Yes, they are gay. | The Internet Chronicle __________________ ***************** http://www.facebook.com/NoBadDaysGraphics Have you got NBD [...]
Mike and Frank are great guys and extremely personable. Their sexual preference is their business. I love Danielle and I would love to make breakfast for her.
This article is not true. I fail to understand why someone would lie about others. Please read New York Times online article about american pickers.
Doesn’t bother me. One of the perks of being gay! You wouldn’t see my GF digging through piles of car parts and riding motorcycles with me!
I don’t give a damn who they sleep with. I have a couple pieces of Iowa History and they don’t seem interested in them. This hurts my feminine side!! lol. Maybe I should mention (even though it’s a lie!) that I have a certain characteristic in common with our equine friends!!!!
I still have my doubts that they are gay. But even if they are who gives a fuck!No ones business. The show is still good & Danielle is HOT! The idiots making the gay comments are probably spooge wranglers themselves! Get a fuckin life!!!
I knew that but i like the show kept up the good work
FYI Mike married his GIRLFRIEND in Sept and has a daughter!
IT’S A GREAT SHOW. BESIDES JUST BUYING STUFF THEY ALSO PROVIDE YOU WITH A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY BEHIND SOME OF THE PRODUCTS THEY PURCHASE.THEY KNOW THEIR STUFF AND ARE VERY AMUSING.
jack. why do u have to be so nasty ? why !
of COURSE they charge more. DUH!How are they supposed to maake money to pay their expenses and pay salaries???
Their fat acting check from Discovery.
They suck they cheat people get a little price and resale it double or triple
Um Mike is not gay….he has a girlfreind! I know a very close family freind of his…..please dont beleive everything you read!
