Please don't look at today and think those of yesterday had the same options. Ain't no way in hell he would've been the star he was BACK THEN had he so called came out of the closet.

[@JustTheLonelyTalk]

Right! Not to mention there were celebrities who lost everything at the time for coming out or being outed.

[@TheOrdinal81]

Truth, I wish these ni99as would stop pandering just because gay is the thing now

[@tallewis719]

Facts!!! People kill me thinking what goes on today would have applied to yesterday!!! Those guys would have came out their careers would have been over!!! They hid it for a reason!!!

[@gotyou8226]

Exactly, there were loads who couldnt come out back then and had to have wives to cover up, some would take it to their graves. Keanu reeves and river phoenix were on the DL till river died. Theres so many

[@badnewzscubasteve]

I was about to say the same thing... yesterday's society is NOT today's society

[@badnewzscubasteve]

Same with Luther Vandross... he was gay too

[@edreid7872]

There is no way he would have enjoyed his success if he came out as gay back then..

[@watchyoutube9553]

As a ghost it’s one thing I’ll say! In the closet is where I stayed! Couldn’t let a jive turkey stop my pay! Y’all can unveil it once I’m no longer here one day!!!!

Fruity Ray Moore lol. Stop capping😂😂😂

[@kharikhy-ree2242]

This comment section is exactly why some of your fathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, nephews, and sons are still not honest with you all. Many complain when people aren't honest with them about who they are. I know so many down low men and women, because they are scared of loosing their families' and friend's love and acceptance. So they lie to y'all. Living double lives, so y'all can fell comfortable.

[@nunyabizness9544]

I would rather the family member be honest. So that I can continue with my honesty. Go live your life separate from me. I can love a family member from a distance.

[@kharikhy-ree2242]

[@chrrylocks]

I was about seven years old when I first saw Ruby Ray Moore, my first thought was gay. His eyes twinkled while his smile and sassy talk walk, aways said woman to me as a child. I knew what I saw and felt looking at his demeanor. That was the 70s. Those times weren't ready for him either way, in or out the closet.

[@CRTNY09]

I don’t get how him coming out would’ve even been important… I’m sure anyone who need to know his orientation did know it 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@jbenjamin59]

But it was known that he was gay, that’s not slander. And it still seems like you putting a negative connotation on being gay, like this man just telling Dolomite’s truth and story. You looking at this from no disrespect a ignorant point of view. Call it what it is

[@deewoo2776]

Dolemite was a client of mine for many years. The way he was was awesome. He was so comical within himself I think he didn't know how comical he was. He had the persona of "What You See Is What You Get" I wouldn't want him to change a thing. To each is own. I love and miss Dolemite!!!! May he Rest In Power 🙏

[@JamesBrown-vt9kr]

It's no bodies business so why you need to so called some out and say you gay when straight people not coming out. Don't ask don't tell. Keep it in the bedroom but for a lot of people it's around pushing their beliefs on others that's all it's about. I don't wrong Paul for not playing their game cause that's no one's business what he does behind closed doors.

[@TheMaddBlackMann]

I hate when people do this to people. If Rudy wanted us to know he would have told us. This guy just did irreparable harm to the Dolomite brand

[@FosterCorder]

Wrong. The truth is never harmful. So are you saying him being gay is bad? People are people and unless ur passing judgment what’s the problem? I’m an owner of the “brand” as you say. So why would I do something negative? He wasn’t ashamed and he did say it, but you didn’t know him so from what do you speak? Lastly it’s Dolemite not Dolomite 😁👍🏽

[@TheMaddBlackMann]

@@FosterCorder no I'm saying if a man wanted to come out he would have came out. Why speak about somebody who's already passed on and assumed they would want you to be speaking on them like this? You're wrong. This man is obviously gay and just did this for his own personal reasons

[@yevettew47]

I totally agree 👍! Why talk about them while they're dead. If he wanted us to know he would have told us. Let these people REST!

[@MrBoodan]

Who cares dude been dead and gone if he wanted people to know he'd told us

[@apolloeh1165]

Who cares or GAF!😂

[@flyguy7825]

Dolomite could have been a huge star, but obviously him being in the closet along with a lot of racial implications on both sides really hindered his career back then it's a damn shame.

[@RealDealy]

What’s crazy is entertainment is full of lgbqt, yet a lot of people wouldn’t like them if they knew even though they love their work It makes sense why they hide it, though. If you’re audience is straight, and you sing, you would make it more easier singing about heterosexual things then homosexual cause it’s more people that can relate to straight then homosexual and they can focus on the art then the sexuality

[@King_JappyJoe]

That TDE rapper who is Kendricks Lamars label-mate career was on fire until he was exposed as gay or bi few months ago. I believe he made alot of love songs and I dont think 99% of straight men will ever support him again lol

[@RealDealy]

@@King_JappyJoe I heard he talked about it at his Coachella performance, and the crowd still loved him, but that’s Coachella which have a pro lgbqt audience

[@dexho1457]

The answer is no. The times weren’t ready for it. I grew up in the 90s and gay jokes, calling everything gay rather than tacky, stupid or weird was extremely predominant. People were calling each for “fag” for fun and calling gay people that as a slur. Moore was big the 70s and early 80s, so outside of a disco/club, it was basically life threatening to be gay in public
