I personally think that studios probably had what amounted to a "don't ask, don't tell" policy and cut a film if they thought it would make more money 40 minutes shorter. If the director were gay, the producer might laugh with his buddies about "cutting the fruit's picture" (and then probably go home and have sex with his male gardener) but I find it hard to believe that unmanly guys got edited for it. And I think that Gable worried more that Gone with the Wind was going to end up a woman's picture than he was worried about the director's manliness.
