Celebs who died AFRAID to reveal their SAME-SEX relationships

This video describes the challenges and societal pressures faced by these individuals, shedding light on a complex aspect of their personal lives that remained hidden until the end.

I was a waiter at a high end restaurant in Peoria, Illinois. One night around 9:00PM Richard Pryor came in with a very lovely young lady. He said I know it’s kind of late but could we have some coffee and pie? Of course we were delighted to serve them and he was a true gentleman. It was a $12.00 check and he left a fifty dollar bill. We served a lot of celebrities but he was my favorite!

[@Jgeneraledger23]

Awesome story. Richard is among the VERY BEST

[@smartin4000]

See, I think when people are left to be THEMSELVES, they’re the best! We do/support awful things sometimes, but people (that’s ALL people) are really good. GREAT memory & it adds color to the picture that is Richard Pryor. Thanks! 🤟🙂

She does not "sell" that to her Black fans too hard, her fan base would shrink further and she's pretty much "informed" us of this in not speaking too much about her "wife". She, I'd say, about, 2 or 3 months ago was on Sherri Shepherd (daytime talk show) and got a standing ovation because she is the Queen (rapper, actor, philanthropist), lol, but DID NOT answer any questions about her love life - which I'm sure she made clear with show producers. Luther Van Dross was a gay man, a soul and r&b singer whom was singing love songs to women, not that it wasn't known that he was gay but had he come out as a gay man those album/music sales would have dried up. Patti LaBelle, a best friend, told him his career would be die on the vine had he come out as a gay man singing love songs to women, his songs would have been disingenuous had he been openly gay. As we all know Freddie Mercury was a gay man but was Fari, Muslim. Though the joke was on us "Queen" was masterful in being macho and hyper-masculine in their songs and on stage. Though eventually he came out he did so at the point of death when AIDS had consumed him. Otherwise, he'd probably may not have been as public due to his "religion". We are not perfect beings, famous or everyday people. Some things should remain private and off the radar. I think it depends on the level of fame one wants to receive - the larger one is the more private, I think, a person should be. Life doesn't always work that way though. That's my 2 pennies, lol.

When the Fascist American Left comes into control of an entity, be it an industry such as the movies or a University or a corporation, the nature of the beast called Authoritarian Socialism is such that it must eliminate from it's presence and hearing any opposition. A different view of life is an opposition to them. A religious view of life, ie, religious morals, constitute unacceptable opposition to them. There has always been some affinity for or attraction to the theater/cinema world for homosexuals. Now, it's a political mandate that LGBTQ ideology be elevated to the level of enforced policy. It's Marxist doctrine to use sex/sexuality to destroy middle class, Christian society. It's all politics. And as President Franklin D.

Dan obviously did more than just "dream."

[@Persephonie22]

I am not sure if he sounded black. Either ways I love that song of I Can Dream About You🎶. I think he was just a one hit wonder.

[@ronfroehlich4697]

As a white person I can confirm that he sounded like a white person

[@cleomanago4593]

How do you know they died afraid to reveal anything? Not everybody is interested in or finds it necessary to broadcast their personal business to strangers. I knew some of these people. They lived their lives fully and enjoyed it, but they were not interested in giving you their business or their life being a "gay" spectacle..

[@TortoiseJames]

So if THEY didn't want anybody in their bedroom business then why are we dishonoring their requests? Everybody who keeps their business to themselves is not doing so out of fear. Some people just like to keep their business to themselves. Celebrities do not owe ANYBODY their business. It's sick to be so interested in who another person is sleeping with.

[@saphireblue3563]

So why didn't you say this when they were alive?

[@johngalt9737]

Better they keep it private, rather than how it is now.

ALL RESPECT TO THE GAYS I DON'T CONDONE OR HAVE NOTHING AGAINST GAY PEOPLE'S

[@howardoller443]

Sexuality is a private personal matter and should be kept private. People who push their sexuality in your face are looking for affirmation and approval, which is ugly and sad.

[@higherrealms5309]

Everybody just wrote off Richard Pryor as telling jokes when really he was telling the truth all along. He actually never “hid” being gay

[@carlcarlson1369]

I think of the late great actor Montgomery Clift

[@jessyhoward9891]

They were afraid to do it and so you thought it was ok too after they died. Even if it’s an open secret. Have some respect for the dead.

[@kumaranvij]

How was this in any way disrespectful?

[@trishlangford5773]

The problem was, back in the day, same sex relationships were career ending. Even illegal not so very long ago. Yes, today we say who cares as we should, but even just 40 years ago it was a very different story.

[@godsloverevealed5003]

The environment that Richard Pryor grew up in was more than less than ideal and I'm sure impacted his sexuality. I read that he and Marlon Brando had a night(s) together.

[@denises.8203]

🤔 old saying gos like this. 'Lie about me while I'm alive,Lie on me after I pass on! RIP 🕊

[@charleslennonbaker]

Don't forget Mr. Winfield's relationship with Cicely Tyson; from all accounts, he was enraptured with her, and she to him, but it became too intense. After the break-up, he found lasting love.

[@michaelkantner6420]

I loved Paul Winfield in STNG when he played the alien in the episode "Darmok" He did such a good job, not to mention all of the other characters that he played in other series and movies.

[@CharleneWhite-hd5gh]

I don't know why but when I was a young girl my Late Grandma told me that Sherman hemsley was gay is a lot of people she had new over the years nice famous people for some reason she didn't know personally. Well I just like to show my respect and say rest in peace Rip

[@ruthrosado8437]

i think this is so disrespectful. Waiting until people pass or passed on to shout their personal business and lifestyle out. Let them rest in peace. It's not etched in stone that people's business has to be your business. for whatever reason they kept it to themselves it was their choice , with that being said i digress

[@brownstonecustomcabinetry5309]

Man these cats were not afraid they were men! Their sex life wasn't your business! This was back when men were men.

[@FredLord-sp4ym]

AMEN!
