Rumors galore, but also girlfriends, so officially straight.
I thought of one who surprised me: Tom Hulce, best known for the title role in Amadeus. He was never really closeted but didn’t address the issue and came out gradually until it was finally said “gay actor Tom Hulce produces play in Seattle” in some publication and now he’s “Gay actor Tom Hulce” when referenced.
I read an interview with him and they asked if he minded being “gay actor Tom Hulce” and he said “Very much, because I haven’t acted in ten years. I’m gay director Tom Hulce these days.”
Oh, come on, that preacher man’s son is the only boy who could ever reach her. Clearly he turned her off men all together.
That preacher man’s son was never the same after he discovered his father making love in the sun to that woman who’d never been to herself.
You don’t know how many times I’ve been forced to listen to that song over the past six months. grrr. 
Do you suppose she ever gave him back his hand?
Dunno if this goes with this thread, or the other one about gay celebs…
Can we count gay celebrities who clearly aren’t gay, but are just in it for the publicity?
I don’t believe that Wanda Sykes or Rosie are ACTUALLY gay. I think they are in it for the publicity and are running with it.
Sara Gilbert is the one celeb who I was really surprised was gay. Because from the moment I first saw her on Roseanne, I thought, “I’ll bet she’s gay,” and for possibly the only time in my life, my gaydar was entirely accurate. I was so shocked, you could have knocked me over with a feather.
Maybe when she got to “Me” (not sure where that is but she sure wanted to go there).
Pinto’s gay?
Chuck Palahniuk. That’s the correct spelling.
Well I just found out Reginald VelJohnson, who played the dad on Family Matters is gay. That surprised me almost as much as Raymond Burr.
:eek: Forget Raymond Burr, we definitely found a new “winner” for this thread.
I don’t know about Sykes but I met Rosie decades ago, before she was famous, when she had a fling with my sister the lesbian. She is definitely gay.
Rumored and probably true, but I don’t believe he’s officially out. Ditto his predecessor black sitcom father Sherman Hemsley. (John Amos isn’t and Cosby is apparently waaaay not.)
Zac Efron seems to be the current leader for the most “young tweener heartthrob” gay rumors, with Justin Bieber (who I’ll admit I didn’t know from Bilbo Baggins before the recent We Are the World thing) fast gaining on him. I’ve no idea if they have more in common with Neil Patrick Harris or with NPH’s character in the *Harold and Kumar *movies, but the reason I mention them is that people often say gay celebrities should come on out/it won’t hurt your career/blah blah, but… when you consider these two is there anybody out there who doesn’t think it would implode their fan base overnight?
Mark Indelicato, who plays the “swishy” nephew (the word used in the series) in UGLY BETTY, has never publicly addressed his sexuality and at 15 it’s unlikely he has any sexperience to speak of yet, but his character is almost certainly gay. If he should come out in real life (and again, he may be straight- I highly doubt it but he may be) I wonder if he would be the youngest celebrity to do so.
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that” ?
I’m a big fan of Douglas Coupland’s fiction. It didn’t exactly shock me when he came out, more like, “Hm. Did not see that coming.” Even though, in hindsight, I can spot some hints even as far back as Generation X.
If that kid isn’t gay,
- He should win any and every acting award we can find and
- I’ll suck Rosie O’Donnell’s dick.
One faux gay celeb could be Anne Heche, who disappeared until her relationship with Ellen, and then became an actress in demand again. And promptly married a guy.
I don’t know who she’s doing now.
Well, his character on the show came right out and said he WASN’T gay. Of course he could just be in denial, but with the series finale drawing close, we may never find out.
He’s 15 and had just been humiliated by his high school class. Hardly surprising.
From what I’ve read, we’re going to see the nephew confirmed as gay before the series ends.
As for Indelicato himself, his best friends are girls, he loves fashion and wants to work at Vogue when he’s done with school, and he’s obsessed with Taylor Swift. If his character on the show is playing into stereotypes, so is the actor. It’s really kind of adorable though. (I feel like a dirty old lady following him on Twitter.)
