That is so correct, no one needs to know your preference unless they are your partner.

[@Mcfreddo]

Why does it bother you that people come out? You really don't understand why oppressed people break out of others imposed shackles. Sexuality is a core aspect of any individual. It involves to whom you love. It's not about a sexual act. That's a powerful expression of it of course. What it means by your statement, that you do not understand imprisonment. Thought experiment: Hide the fact you are straight. By that you deny ever being married- get a divorce, say your children are not yours publicly. Live everything that's precious to you in secret. The state is to deny your existence is valid: (kicked out of the military, lose your job, get raided by the police, charged- even if you were pivotal in a world war. Secretly contemplate suicide... and so on. Denied your pension, fair treatment under the law. Cut off from your family. It all adds up. The closet is not owned by the individual, but societies and individuals that enforce it. You wouldn't hide anything if you didn't haft to.

[@93Thelemite]

Well, some gays have been forced to reveal it, and have had it revealed just by living a normal life -- talking about their partner's cooking, or explaining to a girl why he won't date her. One is forced out often by just living. I agree no one should be forced, but knowing I'm gay shouldn't get me arrested or denied an apartment, fired from a job, or beaten in an alley.

The feeling that one must hide their sexuality, simply to exist in society and then turning to alcohol/ drugs to cope with that constant stress, is a real tragedy. The heartening part in these stories is the fact that some still managed to have long-term dedicated partners. Healthy, supportive and loving relationships between adults are too rare in this World. It makes no sense to demand only heterosexual relationships are acceptable. Sexual attraction to others is personal and unique to everybody. Find the partner who reciprocates your feelings and give that same right to everybody else. Unless someone is getting hurt, it's not our business to judge.

Because the notion of having to be closeted telegraphs that there is something wrong with being gay...that it need to be hidden. While it doesn't have huge consequences for mature adults, for young people struggling with their sexuality and the shame with having to hide their secret often leads to bad consequences.

And who knows what went on in the trailers on the set of GIANT, Anyone think Rock could have resisted inviting Jame Dean into his trailer during that filming? 😍

[@jordywales1921]

Not mentioning Liberace is terrible. Love Liberace even as a straight guy

[@eileenschenck1264]

Sister in law and I saw Liberace perform in California.... I wasn't looking forward to that event but she wanted company.... Enjoyed the performance much more than I thought I would....he worked hard at putting on a great show.... Also said to the crowd... you probably have heard the rumors....well, I started them. We all knew what he meant.

The least you could do is fix the many typos.

[@jamesdavis6036]

What about Tom Hanks?

[@louise_rose]

Ingrid Thulin (a striking blonde star in many Ingmar Bergman movies and character actress in high-profile European films like "The Four Horsemen" (dir, by VIncente Minnelli) and "The Damned" (dir by Luchino Visconti)) was a lesbian, something that was well known to people working with her but barely ever mentioned in public in her lifetime. For decades she was married to Harry Schein, the head of the Swedish Film Institute - a white marriage and more or less a front cover to both of them.

What about Montgomery cliff!

[@CarlosLopez58]

The first photo of michael Redgrave is not Michael Redgrave, is Lawrence Olivier

[@terrybrowning-e9b]

and you spelled Laurence Olivier incorrectly so isnt that a little like the pot calling the kettle black does it matter whether a person sits down or stands up to use the facilities

[@allanharris4281]

'Lived openly gay in the 1970's. Lived with his partner in 1966.' What? That is the 1960's.

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

Shhh, don't confuse the artificial intelligence that put this video out or it may turn on us!

[@garygable4170]

I don't think it's fair to say somebody is gay when they were married their entire life and denied any such gay rumors. Then when they are dead, make a video saying they were gay. If they were gay and never confirmed or denied it, then congratulations because that's the way it should be, private.

[@burleq]

Re Paul Winfield - he also had an earlier 11-year relationship with actor Jeffrey Orth.

[@philipcollins218]

I can’t believe John Inman was gay ? I thought he was married with a wife and 5 children. What a shock.

[@Maisiewuppp]

Just about sums up the quality of this video.

[@seanwingfield977]

Gene Kelly was NOT gay. BS. He never talked about it because there wasn’t any thing to talk about.

[@deniser7573]

It would also help if the narrator managed to pronounce the names of these actors correctly.

[@gradywilson9213]

Gene Kelly was not gay, a gay man would never have married women several times, not happening. John Inman may have been a pedophile, he passed away as British authorities were investigating him. Sherman Hemsley does surprise me, I didn't know. I am the one guy in America who didn't know Rock Hudson was gay, when his illness, and sexuality came to light, I was shocked.

[@BlackAdder665]

I was born in the 70s and I have to say, I'd prefer people keeping their sexuality to themselves. It's a private matter and certainly nothing to be "proud" of.

[@warringtonminge4167]

...or ashamed of either.

[@SummaGirl1347]

This is hilarious. Absolutely everyone knew these men were homosexual. There was nothing secret about their behavior or demeanors.

[@pawprintz7166]

I only recently found out that David Ogden Stiers came out in 2009. I had no idea.

[@xaniiu]

Never heard anything about Gene Kelly, ever

[@RangerJohnreid]

I never liked Kelly. He treated many people like crap. He was known for being a jerk. He was conceited. You never see anyone talk about his being a great guy

[@karendegraaf1146]

You said Tab Hunter had a relationship with Tony Perkins, but showed a photo of Tony Randall

[@joshuamarcon5928]

It's nobody's business, but theirs. These people have backbones than others who pretended their tough. Leave them be.

[@STI2000]

The Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors rumors actually sprang from the old joke “If Rock Hudson married Gomer Pyle his name would be Rock Pile.

[@metro3692]

Devine? Secretly gay? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@maureentuohy8672]

It is so easy to jump to conclusions when people are dead and can't defend themselves. If people are “fiercely privet” it doesn't mean they are gay. It just means they dont choose to tell you everything.

[@teresajeffries3934]

Its amazing they wait til these actors die, then they accuse them of being gay. To hear these things state it, every single actor was gay. I dont believe 99% of them Its slander and lies.

[@jameshenderson9830]

I remember living in EL Paso and seeing Sherman at the Skaggs Albertsons grocery store when I was a teen. Never saw him with anyone ever. Never bothered him because of the respect that he was just trying to do daily stuff. I remember decades later that he said he had moved there so he could lead a private life.

[@anncannoy1236]

Of course they wanted to keep their private lives private

[@RoscoeBosier]

Jeez! First, Gene Kelly was not gay… married three times and had three kids. Also, his name was spelled “Gene Kelly”, not “Jean”. Please folks who made this: pull your head out of your ass.

[@susanjoycesabo8450]

I never heard that about Gene Kelly.

[@patriciamichelin7355]

Because it's not true. It's rumor and jealous innuendo.

[@TheSunsetjames]

It's an oddity in our society that being gay was looked down upon mainly because it went against religious views, no matter what religion, and yet in their own religious rule husbands and wives should not cheat on each other. How about fair play that besides having on KZbin those who are gay but also have those who have cheated on their spouses?

[@mwalvis43]

I loved Evan‘s acting, especially in bewitched. I loved him as Maurice.❤😢 Rambo was a good actor too. I wondered, whatever happened to him.

[@Kat_Z5882]

Might I ask; why does anyone’s sexual preference matter??- As long as they entertained us, their private lives are none of our business- I, for one do not care-

[@raydolan7526]

AI crap is out of control. This is just click bait. So many errors make this frustrating to watch.
